What do Will Smith and I have in common? We both went to the NGV Triennial! Although we did not bump into each other, but I think we saw the same pieces like the ones below:
Some pieces that stood out for me - the giant sleeping Buddha in the foyer; a large carpet that looked like it had lakes, mountains, tufts of grass woven onto it; an interactive 3D game; and a series of drawing which show it is slowly fading into nothingness (to represent the effects of time).
Some controversial works were also on display, like Caucasian actors and actresses reading the life accounts of refugees; lots and lots of giant skulls (although we missed this when we were there).
There are works from over 100 artists from 32 countries and represents so many new and exciting pieces that it is really worth going to have a look if you haven't already been. Entry is free!
The Triennale is on at National Gallery of Victory from 15 Dec 17 to 15 Apr 18
