No not the rantings of a two year old. We spotted this on our radar and think it’s an interesting concept….

“Peel Gallery invites you to becomes one of its curators by bringing your object/possession of choice to the gallery for inclusion in the exhibition “Virtually Mine”.

The show is curated by CITIZEN:citizen and we think is a dynamic and interesting wy to involve the general public in something that is otherwise the domain of the few.

This year’s show opens the night of Saturday, April 5 at One On One Bikes + Coffee + Stuff in Minneapolis. There’ll be new posters by 34 artists and designers….”

For two weeks each year at this time, Sydney hosts ‘Sculpture By The Sea’, an expose for many artists stretching several kilometers along the coast.

The problem (problem?) with big galleries, is that you have to go to them; in the case of some of the nation’s best, that means a 300 odd k drive (each way) from Sydney to see them in Canberra.

The National Portrait Gallery though has an exhibition that comes to you, or your broadband line as the case might be.
