Sophie O'Brien has been staying with us as curator in residence, supported by Asialink, Australia. Sophie is an independent curator and writer and also works in the Australian Arts Council as exhibition manager for projects including the 2004 Biennale of Sydney and 2005 Australian pavilion at the Venice Biennale. Before coming to Japan she asked artist friends to send her postcards, and the results of this little mail project is currently showing on the wall of AIT room. Low-cost and tactical in approach, Sophie's postcards are a good example to our curation students of making small scale but interesting projects with the simplest of means.
hi there, i like the postcards but if you read this, i am trying to find the bathroom installation piece, as an aside the 14th of March was my birthday and it was spent at the opening of the next wave festivals "container village" I think you would've really enjoyed it, but the looks of you. check it out on www.nextwave.org.au I was there as one of the editors of Crease magazine check it out on www.crease.org.nz
please contact me (about the bathroom installations?) via my email [email protected]
