The Gelatinous Blue Moon Scoop : 19th Biennale of Sydney

The Biennale of Sydney is a three-month exhibition showcasing around 1600 artists from 100 countries of visual contemporary arts. This event is held in every two years. It was the first Biennale to be established in the Asia-Pacific region. The arts are well-distributed at main museums in Sydney. The main attraction is settled at Cuckatoo Island while the others can be as easily accessed at Art Gallery of NSW, Museum of Contemporary Art, Artspace and Carriageworks.

I have been attracted to it since the day I glanced and read a poster about it that was stuck on the bus stop while boringly waiting for my bus to come. I have been researching about this and have been ignited to visit the event. It took me two days to visit 3 out of 5 museums.

On a rainy Anzac Day, Savitri and I met up at Circular Quay to stroll around the city. I really get the hang of "catching up" with people. Such a great moment to open up and share stories and even get advises. The rain did not stop us from meeting up. Neither did the less busses on a public holiday.

As soon as we met up, we went to the cutest and coziest restaurant at The Rocks called The Fine Food Store. The place was crowded. We were struggling in finding a place to sit. We changed seating places for about 4 times.

The weather was actually pretty nice, it adds to the autumn vibe.

this is made out of glass which took months to dry. and weighs a ton
(if i'm not mistake)

this room made me dizzy as soon as I stepped out of it

you have the most original way of putting one foot in front of the other

Happy YingMei performance! I even asked her to write something for me on
that piece of paper I was holding. She kept on talking to me in Chinese
even though I could only understand a tiny bit!

Anzac Parade

Afterwards, we headed back to eat at Kingsford with other churchmates before going to Bible Study. There was an introduction of a new series proceeding next week followed by a boardgame night. After we were done for the night, I asked people if they would like to join for an outing to Cuckatoo Island the next day. There were 20 of us.

I can't believe it's the end of easter break already.

Anyway,, keep reading!

we rode a ferry which costed 7$ (return) to Cuckatoo Island

Small villages

my second favorite display- the Powerhouse.
incredibly creative, all the machines have their respective tasks. eg: pink fountain, bubbles, mannequin head being rised
