Melbourne




It's been three weeks now since I arrived in Melbourne for the first time, after living in Australia for about ten years now!

I curated a group exhibition with two other artist friends of mine. The show was called '....in that order!', and was held @ the Brunswick Street Gallery in Fitzroy. We had one gallery room to install our colourful and quirky works of art. Positive comments from visitors like 'fairyland' and 'children's party' made us laugh, since we are all three artists & mums!

The other important experience I had in Melbourne was this feeling of belonging, or maybe homesickness? The architecture, weather, fashion , the food..... and the trams reminded me much of my homelands England and Germany. Well, I don' t know where I am going to end up eventually...

Another visit to Melbourne is in the planning for sure!
