The Biennale Sydney 2012

I took my 12 year old boy to the 2012 Sydney Biennale on Cockatoo Island, and he got wild photographing enlarged insect penises, licking a giant, interactive sea sculpture, hunting art in darkening tunnels and eating as much junk food as he could beg for from the little cafe.

Art is really great for kids. I believe kids see art like it's life they just haven't found yet, and maybe adults see it more like something we can never really find or interpret in any other way.

Growing up around arty people my kids feel comfortable with art, and I think that's a great place for overcoming pretentious rubbish and really engaging with art and it's possibilities.
