3D

I was impressed with Adolf Luther's 3D glass works at the NSW Art Gallery. I wondered why his work wasn't given better coverage in the catalogue. Also Jesus Rafael Soto's 'Blue Black and Red Triptych'. I know these works are kind of old fashioned, now, but I'm really interested in the way they act directly on the mind.

I went to Cockatoo Island, but only a few of the works impressed me there. There seemed to be too many video installations, mostly boring. There was one, that I found interesting - William Kentridge's "I am not me, the horse is not mine". I really, really liked that one. It fit the installation space with it's peeling brick walls perfectly and was all around me.

I thought the buildings and machinery on the island were more interesting and impressive and made better sculptures than much of the art!
