Blue Oyster Gallery Grad Show

Aroha Novak:
I enjoyed the fragility of the card board boxes with the ever present screen showing the reality of fragility and vulnerability in Baghdad. The sound and visuals worked well, glowing inside the cardboard remains.

Jenna Todd: The Youtube Tapes
Clever contrast between the banal bleating of an American woman who thinks she's been unjustly called a name and the harrowing account of an Iraqi woman who has been brutally mistreated. Everyone has their own reality!

Allisia Holzer: Transcend Enclosure
Fresh and clear, little windows of serenity.

Aliki Baufis: Corridor11 and After Hours Window.
I was nearly fooled!

Prada Video

Wev are initially lulled into a benign fashion fairy story by the music and soft focus colour. However it is the same old sad message underlying the video. Whiter then white, tall thin model with alarmingly long legs moves thru her Eden, naked except for the thing a naked woman wants most........... shoes. Must be a God send to be able to computer image the perfect woman like this for advertising purposes. And will Prada be selling purple and black plaid this season? I must concede our tall white blonde did nibble on a piece of fruit - should be grateful for small mercies!
