This is a tumblelog, kinda like a blog but with short-form, mixed-media posts with stuff I like. Scroll down a bit to start reading, or a bit more to read more about me.
OPENING SEASON EAST SYDNEY GALLERIES 2012Joint Gallery Opening
Wednesday 1 February 2012, 6-8pm
9 Galleries in 2hrs? Challenge is ON! Rules are, you must get a drink or a room sheet or something awkward said to you for a visit to count. Those new to gallerying should not attempt more than a 4.
Slightly misbehaving.
“…wide-eyed scary and dangerous…” is brilliant
Love that I have a friend who’ll PXT me handwritten extracts from St Augustine on ^-^ notepaper. HI ANIQA!
…”Play” is something else;
It exists, in a society specifically
Organized as a demonstration of itself.
There is no other way, and those assholes
Who would confuse everything with their mirror games
Which seem to multiply stakes and possibilities, or
At least confuse issues by means of an investing
Aura that would corrode the architecture
Of the whole in a haze of suppressed mockery,
Are beside the point. They are out of the game,
Which doesn’t exist until they are out of it.
Italics mine.
“No short description for Finnegans Wake”
Ahhahahahahah you kill me Book Depository with your fortuitous truth.
**it's my interests and activities!
The first time anyone wrote a bio of me it said "Bethany drinks wine, goes to art galleries, and drinks wine at art galleries." That's still pretty much true. But to be a little more (condensedly) comprehensive: I am in Sydney, Australia; I have a tendency to act cute and also sarcastic; I write about art and theatre and books and film and dance and opera and weird little festivals for various publications; I coach grown-ups through the reading of difficult, benchmark-y books; I do a bit of advising on art purchasing; I try not to know very much about bands; I am usually in love with about seventeen people at a time; I can't quite bring myself to stop being at uni; last time I moved I had ten boxes of books and nine of clothes.
