ACMI

We ventured to Melbourne on the weekend for another birthday celebration, and had a whirlwind of a time! Will be posting a Melb-dedicated write up soon, but for now I wanted to share some great art I discovered at ACMI (Australian Centre for the Moving Image) or as we know it - The Place Where Jon Works. Our friend Jon (an awesome local comedian, check out jonbennettcomedy.com) has been living in Melbourne on and off for as long as Simon and I have been together (going on 9 years now, crazy!) and we always manage to get a bed to sleep wherever he's living at the time. Certainly works out well for us! In between comedy gigs Jon works at ACMI, and most visits we get a sneak peak at the current exhibition. This time it was William Kentridge, best known for his prints, drawings, and animated films - and someone I had never heard of until now! I loved his raw etchings, and his work was really powerful, so wanted to share some of my favourite pieces from the exhibit, also a sample of his animated films...
