In front of The International Museum of Ceramics,
Faenza, Italy on July 17th 2007

I’m a uni student yet again, this time an MPhil candidate at the School of Art, Australian National University. My first year has started with a few field trips, intended to provide additional context for my own research.

Firstly, from 4th to 6th of July, I attended the “New Craft - Future Voices” conference at the Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design in Dundee, Scotland. After that, in search of more inspiration and to get an eye-witness overview of the international contemporary art scene, my lovely friend Sharnie and I decided to embark on a whirlwind art trip to Italy and Germany. Our first stop was the 55th Premio Faenza (Faenza, Italy, of majolica fame), followed by The Venice Biennale (La Biennale di Venezia, the 52nd International Art Exhibition, Venice, Italy) and Documenta 12 (an international art exhibition held in Kassel, Germany). We rounded it all off with a couple of days in Berlin, however by then, we had reached saturation point on the art scale, and decided cocktails might be in order.
