The Guggenheim collection at the NGV.
Televisions amongst indoor plants, this is why Nam June Paik is a genius!
The exhibition was organised in themes which corresponded loosely with historical movements and chronological order. Some highlights included Felix Gonzalez-Torres ‘Untitled’ (Public Opinion) 1991, although unbeknown to me the pile of of lollies are in fact black rod liquorice candy, which I had to spit out immediately after stuffing in my mouth. Another was being blinded by Dan Flavin’s untitled (to Jan and Ron Greenberg) 1972–73 and then contemplating the square cube stools in the gallery against Donald Judd’s larger steel cubes. It was also strange to be fighting for optimal vantage points in front of the works amongst the locals. I haven’t been in such as crowded gallery (in Australia) since the Rubens show in NGA Canberra.
