Coffee at the strip - Hetti, Gary, Carolyn, Rosa, Cesare, Luke the pilot and Carl.
Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev visited us in early August to look over the collection as a possible element in the 2012 Dokumenta in Kassel, Germany. Carolyn is the Artistic Director of Documenta in that year and she came to Warburton with her husband Cesare, daughter Rosa and Hetti Perkins, Curator of Indigenous Art at the Art Gallery of NSW.
It was delightful to meet them all and have them stay with us, and they certainly brought a sense of other places with them. It was stimulating to listen to Carolyn speak so eruditely on many subjects and conjure new ways of understanding or thinking about art work. She loved the collection and she loved the countryside.
They came from a long way away and we made them welcome.
