Gallery of Modern Art (GoMa) Queensland, Australia is displaying an exhibition called “21st Century Art in the first decade”. http://qag.qld.gov.au
This is a fantastic exhibition and it is free!
I have visited a couple of times and each time I really had a great time!
I liked many artworks such as live birds flying called “here to ear” by Céleste Boursier-Mougenot, “Soul under the moon” and “Narcissus garden” by Yayoi Kusama, Katharina Grosse’s Spray painting eggs, walking in the 3000 purple balloons, sliding in the sack from the third floor to the ground floor, creating white lego buildings and so on. There are so much fun for adults and kids!
When I visited there last time, I bought the book called “21st Century Art for Kids” and I recommend this book for your children who are interested in the arts.
I often wonder what kind of things the artists did or liked when they were kids. This book has an answer. This books tells you what the artists liked doing when they were kids and how they became artists.
It includes activities for kids which relate to each artist’s work. We tried spray paints by Katharina Grosse’s. It has a wonderful story included by Arthur Koo-Ekka Pambegan Jr.
The book cost around $30, and it has a great value.
This books tells about 36 artists telling the kids followings;
