Museum of Contemporary Art

This was actually two trips. One day I went down with my friend Basia. Some of the works were better than others. I liked these shell Harbour bridges by Marilyn Russell.

There was also a room full of works by Julie Mehretu and Jessica Rankin (see below). Some of these works were collages using words, so obviously I liked them immediately because my own work often involves such elements.

I went back another day to figure out the name Julie Rrap, whose works are in different rooms. I found out later from Virginia that Rrap is the sister of Mike Parr. Rrap's works are of two types. in one room there is a movie and a charcoal drawing of a body outline. The body is the body being shown in the movie.

In a different room are a series of panels showing Rrap's body. I liked these panels less than the movie. The movie is interesting because of the nature of the femal body with its soft lines and occlusions.
