Gallery report (2)

NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE

Exhibits from the Museum of Electrical Philosophy


Finally the Museum of Electrical Philosophy is open to the public. Well, some of it is.

As predicted in an earlier posting, an exhibition of selected works from the Museum of Electrical Philosophy is now open at Latrobe Street Gallery.
Last week was spent in construction and installation - the stuff that always takes longer than I think it will - but that's what deadlines are for and as always it was met even if I didn't do quite everything I had planned.

Details: Latrobe Street Gallery, 301 Latrobe St, Melbourne (between Queen and Elizabeth). Open 11-5 (often 10-6), Monday-Friday, until 24 April. Phone (03) 9606 0933.


The post below has some images from the show - a bit quick and dirty but they will do for now.
