Primarily for the Friday night footy (unbeaten Cats vs unbeaten BOMBERS) as art appears to appear at every turn...
We are walking up Franklin Street on the way to the game and... there's an exhibition opening. It's by HA HA (Regan Tamanui), one of Melbourne's best known street artists, recently returned from New Zealand. 'METAMORPHOSIS' at Dark Horse Experiment. Really enjoyed it.
Below, some snaps of Metamorphosis, the mural. More such at The Unreal Adventures of HA HA where he describes this work as the seed of life, which he links to the wikipedia site Flower of Life.

As one who appreciates the theatre of supporting evidence - something because... and ...to be seen to be done - there was much here to enjoy. The open room of work strewn stencils. Masks as masks, indeed!
Tape remains and first squirts...
Walking back from the game we take a path through a new Docklands arcade. In front of us there's a young (10-12) BOMBERS supporter. On his red-on-black jumper stripe an impressive collection of Essendon team signatures.
Now, on our right, there's a smart new artwork by Melbourne artist Emily Floyd. We the football homeward push quickly past, too fast to read the text. The young BOMBER gently pads, taps and raps his hand on each next coloured metal thing. Each drum|ming produces a different sound. We note the composition and the performance with amused delight.

We note also in that passing place the suspended projection-space ideograms of dependent-arising.

All as ever.
