I finally got to the William Kentridge exhibition at ACMI last weekend, with a friend. It closes at the end of May. It is worth every cent. Etchings and drawings of characters in his films take up most of the space. He has a particular way with blotchy skin that reminds me of the late Lucian Freud’s work. The self portraits – William as “Felix” and “Solo” – move about within ghost like bubbles that remind me a bit of one of Freud’s models, Sunshine boy Leigh Bowery.

Much saddened to hear today of the passing of Mari Funaki. Fine sculptor of miniature metal wonders and most generous gallery owner. The gallery in Crossley Street, Melbourne, will continue under the capable stewardship of Katie Scott.
