Talk by Angus Trumble at Australian Tapestry Workshop
Brilliant Dilletantes, Subculture in Germany, in the 1980’s, is on at RMIT Storey Hall Gallery now until 27 February 2016. I liked what I saw. Tonight, 3rd December at 5.30pm a talk is being given about a new book by Australian writer and Berlin resident, Stuart Braun, discussing his new book “City of Exiles:Berlin from the Outside In” with Dr Peter Milne.
I believe both are worth a look.
At inner state gallery, saw this show. Run collaboratively with 1xRun and Eastern market group Focuses on the vitality of the Market. Had some work by a favourite artist, Monica Canilao, and by Tead, a local mural artist I met at Lincoln art park.

Peter Burke, organised a talk from a VU former vu student, MJ, who is currently exhibiting in the VU Gallery, 17th Floor Flinders St, Melbourne.
MJ, talked about his work, his love of his craft and his passion for the work he produces . He was successful in getting into Monash University, completed a Fine Art Degree in just two years, and is now a working artist with plans to open his own gallery shortly.
What i took away from the talk were, “just have fun , try lots of different things and keep working”.
Interesting artist, inspirational talk and valuable skill share.
