"Collecting Comme" & "Lucy McRae: Body Architect" (NGV)

The Comme des Garcons dresses and other garments on display were fun to look at, with some surprisingly imaginable as actual street wear.



There was a bit to like about Lucy McRae but my favourites were the videos she did on commission for Miss Chu and Aesop, which both - like all her work in this exhibition - explore how technology may shape the human body and experience in the future (in the case of the one for Miss Chu, involving cloning one's own body and then eating the result) in a way that's not unchallenging while at the same time aesthetically pleasant.




(involving trips to both the NGV International and NGV Australia, with R but in each gallery viewing different things)
