Cockatoo Island...
Every time i attend the Sydney Biennale there seems to be mixed emotions of joy and anger... Perhaps it will be better if i were to leave all anticipation and excitement and attend it with no expectation at all... All in all... with the Biennale pros and cons fly all over the place leaving you with the complexity of questioning what 'contemporaneity' is...
But on another note... Cockatoo Island is really an amazing space... The are so many buildings and mazes of tunnels, halls and doors. I just wonder why there wasn't MORE works of art at Cockatoo Island. They were so spread out and hidden. To me i guess Cockatoo Island was more aesthetic in space than the art works provided. Other than Keith Richardson's work which was site specific, the huge blocks of old empty ghostly looking vacant spaces were so visually aesthetic. I now definitely know for a fact that i want to do an installation of some sort....
