"Terra Nullius: Kunst aus Australien"(or something a bit like that with a longer word at the start which I can't do justice to on this English keyboard), leapt out at us as we arrived at the Spinnerei. What? An Aussie show here in Leipzig?
They kindly let us in after we said we were Australians, and I realised as we entered Halle 14, the enormous space which had formerly been one of the spinning rooms, that I had known all about this show back in Australia!
Sure enough, it features a number of artists with whom I've worked in the past (Gittoes, Richard Bell, Gordon Hookey) and a suite of beautiful etchings I printed for Judy Watson in 2007!! Not only that, but Merran Sierakowski, Darwin artist and former BHE printer, is also in the show!
I have been invited there this evening to a floortalk being given by the co-Curator, so had better brush up on my German. "Habent-sie ein bier, bitte?" That's better. Now I'm ready. I just have to buy another tram ticket.
