I went to the triennial today! For those who don't know, whichll be most people, this is the every three years the national gallery of Victoria put on a free modern art exhibit for a few months, integrated into the permanent collection. Tonnes of fun, here's some pics

Also, I had a favourite room. I don't know why, but it really got me and I was so gleeful and tearing up a bit and I just wanted to stay there forever and ever

elle’s diary - Page 55 - 09/01/24 @ 7:35pm

heya, hope your well! I had a great day out with my aunt and cousins today. We went into the city to see the new NGV ‘Triennial’ exhibition. I wanted go to the last one they did but was unable to so I was extra excited.

It was a massive exhibit so I’ll list a few of my favourite pieces:

1: These rlly cool flowers cast in resin reminded me of my time studying plant structures at Fairfield. The technical execution is just phenomenal in these, I swear I didn’t see a single bubble in there. Also they kinda look like part of an alien’s laboratory, which is cool.

2: This painting of the Ancient Greek goddesses, the Moirae. They consist of Klotho “The Spinner”, Lakhesis “The Apportioner of Lots”, and Atropos “She which cannot be turned” (Who is cut out if the photo sorry lol). The Ancient Greeks believed that together, they determined the lifespan of a person, which I find to be a really cool metaphor.

3: Claude Monet’s ‘Rough weather at Étretat’. This wasn’t part of the ‘Triennial’ exhibition, but I borderline ran to this painting upon seeing it. I studied Monet’s life and work in my high school art class in 2019, and I loved this piece in particular. Something about the waves and the ethereal mist and foam juxtaposing the sheer cliff faces is so beautiful.

And that’s all of my favourites that I captured! Thank you for reading and take care of yourself <3

lots of love,

elle xoxo

Yayoi Kusama and her obsession with flowers.

"Yayoi Kusama was born in 1929 in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture to a well-established conservative family that owned a seed nursery business. She spent her childhood surrounded by her family’s seed harvesting grounds. As a little girl, she often went out into the flower fields with her sketchbooks, developing her passion for drawing. For the artist, plants have been both beloved subjects and frightening figures, instilling fear through hallucinations and reflecting her state of mind."

https://www.guyhepner.com/yayoi-kusama-fruits-and-flowers/

"Flowers seemed to help her colourful and powerful imagination come to life but also relate to the darkness in her mental health. She states that painting and art became her rebellion.

A hallucination from her childhood inspired one of her most famous interactive installations held in Melbourne's NGV Triennial Gallery. She stated, “One day, after gazing at a pattern of red flowers on the tablecloth, I looked up to see that the ceiling, the windows, and the columns seemed to be plastered with the same red floral pattern,” Kusama explains in a press release for the triennial. “I saw the entire room, my entire body, and the entire universe covered with red flowers, and in that instant my soul was obliterated … This was not an illusion but reality itself.” The exhibition was named ‘Flower Obsession’ in 2017 which all of us Aperçu readers can really appreciate. The visitors were given Gerbera inspired stickers and were asked to stick them anywhere in the space they felt inclined. She wanted the people to obliterate the room themselves. The space in the beginning was supposed to represent a large apartment. The end products are explosive and cinematic."

My tattoo artist told me about part of the triennial exhibition at the NGV and it's a room covered in paper with a prompt for visitors to write about their mums. And she's in there for an hour crying at all these things because who doesn't have something to say about their relationship with their mum. Anyway I want to go but I'm not sure where I can fit it in before I go home.

Fri & Sat nights a week ago was #ArtAfterDark, a sort of replacement to White Night, with arty places open to 1am. So after Friday’s concert I wandered into #NGVA #FedSq. They’ve installed Ron Mueck’s Mass for the first time since it’s debut at the 2017 NGV Triennial; it remains fascinating & resonant. 100 huge skulls scattered & piled up; Vasily Vereshchagin’s 1871 Apotheosis of War for reference.

Hello Dragon, Happy Lunar New Year 9th -11th February 2024

For a first time in a long time , Matt and my friends welcomed the new year at Braybrook Temple at midnight. We had the annual BBH I caught up with Carole, Arthur, Thai , Luan, Hong, Anita and later on we caught up briefly with Sophia and Cam. Mike and Jane were also there too. They some how found me in the crowd of full tables. Hung out with them a bit. Mike has gotten so good at the can throwing game to the point that Jane had enough roses to be a bouquet.

We walked around and took some photos. This year, they had a lot of photo stations so you can pose and take photos. It was the most elaborate I've ever seen it. Carole and Arthur bought some fortune letters which Google attempted to translate which did not make sense. But we all had a good laugh over it. I went inside the temple to pay my respects to my grandfather. By midnight , we watched fireworks and lion and drawing dancing.

The next day, we had lunch at Ho Chi Mama with Matt's family and my parents. Only Fran and Casey came. They joined us at the NGV Triennial exhibitions. I hope to host something like this next year. I just didn't have time and energy to host another event at our house but next year, I would like to host something at home instead.

On Sunday, my parents hosted the family lunar new year afternoon late lunch/early dinner with my extended family from my dad's side. It was the first time I was giving red pockets to my nephews. Matt and I sat on the chairs like grown ups and the kids had to chuc/wish us well. They were all so cute. I also got the boys some toys for making the gingerbread house. I got them bubbles sticks and light sabres. They looked like they had fun hitting Matt with it.

It was a very busy weekend with family and friends. I feel very grateful and happy to have the people and the things I have in my life. I feel very happy and for the first time in my life I feel very rich. I have everything I need in this life to be happy. Last year was a very good year and I have been very lucky the last few years have kind and good to me I hope it will continue to be this way this year too.

Zanele Mulholi

I have followed Zanele Mulholi, a South African visual activist, since I came across their work at the NGV Triennial in 2017. Working predominantly in black and white portraiture, Mulholi has been documenting and celebrating the lives of South Africa's black, queer community for almost twenty years. Living in a country where homosexuality is vilified, Mulholi has created several series photographing queer black bodies, challenging taboos and stereotypes and questioning how black bodies are shown and perceived.

Their ongoing series Samnyama Ngonyama / Hail the Dark Lioness (2012 – ongoing) is of particular interest to me. Currently numbering over 100 images, Samnyama Ngonyamais is a series of constructed self-portraits addressing labour, racism, eurocentrism, sexual politics, South African colonialism, Apartheid, representations of the black body and contemporary realities. Based on historical moments and personal experience, Mulholi started this series as a way to deal with their own pain and praise their ancestry.

Using local materials, Mulholi's props are culturally loaded. For example, vacuum piping, scouring pads and combs talk to themes of domestic servitude, while rubber tyres and electrical cords reference capitalist exploitation. Muholi's often unwavering gaze holds the viewer's attention and asserts the importance of human dignity. They are inserting the presence of people who are ignored by people in power, declaring that everyone deserves to be seen and heard. In an interview, Muholi states that the series aims to undo bigotry in the mainstream press.

The presence in galleries adds to the visibility of disenfranchised communities. Mulholi says that those who are like me will get to see themselves in the gallery. They will see that the gallery is for everyone, not just a select few. It will help the next person know that they are not alone, that we exist. The work I produce is for every person.

Visually, my work is the polar opposite of Mulholi’s. My photographic portraits are hyper colourful, and faces are intentionally hidden to allow as many people as possible to project onto the work. While Mulholi speaks to human exploitation and my practice is a celebration of our true selves, ultimately, this is the same message. We are both asking people to look deeper than a person's skin to their authentic self. We are both saying all people are worthy. We both want to loosen the strings of bigotry and marginalisation that occur to all who don't hold power.

As a side note, it is fascinating to me to realise how much other artists have influenced my practice. I have loved Mulholi’s work from the moment I first saw it, and I see her images on at least a weekly basis through my social media feeds. Only in writing this post have I realised how aligned our practices are to each other and how deep an impression her work has made on me.
