We headed out to check out an exhibition of material about Colour at the Fiona and Sidney Myer Gallery, part of the University of Melbourne Southbank Campus, just off Grant St.
The exhibition was not large, and rather technical. For us as non-experts the interest was mainly in working out what it was demonstrating. The leaflet did help once we realised the importance of the curatorial notes (which go over the page shown).
The key material was books by Josef Albers, but the intention of the works in the next two images is still opaque to us.
These videos on ping-pong balls bouncing on different coloured mirrors were understandable. Its a shame that my phone camera gave a light blue cast to the white ball. The first mirror is yellow.
Cyan mirror.
Magenta mirror.
The door to the Gallery had an interesting design.
The tall red item is the exhaust stack for the Burnley Tunnel.
Hopefully this map clarifies that.
Southbank buildings framed by the yellow artwork.
This huge workspace is the scenery building area for the Malthouse Theatre a little further along the ACCA site. A very friendly worker explained about the place (and the smokestack).
This is the Pillars Art Installation off Sturt St. It needs further investigation.
