Light Play
The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia
Wednesday 02 June 2010 to Sunday 07 November 2010
Sparkling crystals, fish that respond to shadow and a view through a kaleidoscope are all part of children’s experience in Light Play. This exhibition encourages children to play with light and look at art works and the world in different and unusual ways.
Melbourne artist Juan Ford has added his inspiring response to the installation, creating a wonderful interactive experience for children and their families.
Light Play presents artworks from across the NGV Collection that investigate the way light affects the world around us.From ancient Egyptian to contemporary works, this interactive exhibition allows children to bend, distort, reflect, and refract to their hearts’ content whilst engaging with some of the very basic, everyday principles of physics that are so fundamental within our lives.
NGV Kids Corner is a space for children and their families to enjoy creative installations and activities designed just for them; where kids can have fun learning and sharing new experiences in the visual arts, all for free.

Arctic perspective
Arctic Perspective :: until September 30, 2010 @ Canada House, Trafalgar Square, London + :: until October 10, 2010 @ HMKV, Phoenix Halle, Dortmund, Germany (Open Space Conference, September 24-26, 2010).
Simultaneous exhibitions of photographs, videos, maps and architectural models from work by the Arctic Perspective Initiative are displayed in London and Dortmund this summer. The outcome of an international collaborative project which aims to empower local citizens of the North via open and free media, communications and environmental monitoring technologies, the work highlights the urgency of the issues emerging in the Arctic: its changing cultural landscape; the potential for new intercultural dialogue; conflicting economic and territorial interests; ecological problems; climate change and the effects of ecological changes on the life of Inuit peoples.
The Arctic Perspective Initiative is an international group of artists, designers and media workers, led by artists Marko Peljhan and Matthew Biederman with collaborators Nejc Trost, Samo Stopar, Andrej Bizjak and August Black together with Miha Bratina and Ziga Testen. Partners include HMKV (Germany), Projekt Atol (Slovenia), C-TASC (Canada), Lorna (Iceland) and The Arts Catalyst (UK).

Magma Architecture 2008
Berlin’s Magma Architecture won several awards for its entry in the JETZT | NOW series of temporary installations at the Berlinische Galerie, Museum for Contemporary Art, Photography and Architecture. Magma’s installation, 11th in the series, was called fittingly “head-in | im kopf” and its concept is based on exploring the properties of materials, form, color and light. The main feature of the installation is an alarmingly orange flexible fabric (polyamide-elastan mix) stretched between the walls, ceiling and floor. The fabric is the most visible part of the exhibit, yet it is also the tool with which the viewers can focus on smaller details.
