Massive outdoor sculpture, larger than life wall paintings and psychedelic video installations are featured at Bangkok’s Art and Culture Centre this month by some insane artists. If you’re in the area it’s definitely worth stopping by. Plus admission is free! Located on the corner of Pathumwan Intersection, facing the MBK and Siam Discovery Centres.

Tom Robins is a traveler and a photographer extraordinaire. I really enjoy his series called “Feet First.” It makes me want to jump on a plane and see the world right…. now!

GOMA in Brisbane

I was lucky enough to visit the 6th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art featured at the Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA) in Brisbane, Australia. The new exhibition at GOMA is executed beautifully. The shows runs from December 5, 2009 to April 5th, 2010 located on the South Bank of the Brisbane River. Admission: FREE

Here are a few of my favorite highlights: taxidermy reindeer’s covered in crystal balls, wax-made asian men, rooms full of string and ominous film installations with intriguing sound spacing.

Campervans and Graffiti

This is the first bit of street art I have seen in NZ, Wellington to be extact. These smaller type campervans are super popular here. I know I’m going to come home and try and get one of these things. I think it’s the curtains I find so appealing.

Going Rouge – traveling NZ

michelle — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 21:03:03 +0000

I’ve gone rogue for a months traveling the South Pacific with my boy. We’re starting in New Zealand, renting a campervan for 22 days from Wicked. There are more sheep than people in this country and much more countryside than I expected. The towns are considerably small and you could miss them if you’re not paying attention. What a change from the states. Everyone is very friendly and eager to help you out. Yet a very expensive place to travel around. Highlights so far: mineral baths, wine tours on bikes, campervans, glow worm caves and stock car racing.
