My record collection, ready to be sorted. I'll count them when I finish. Does anyone care to guess how many pieces of vinyl are in the pile? (Hint: Most full length LPs, like the Amon Tobin record on the front left, are two pieces, though a majority of this collection—I'd guess 80%—consists of 12" singles and EPs.)

Separating the artist from the art exhibition: Gauguin’s World at the NGA (Australia)
By Meisha Vu - Art - September 25, 2024
It’s hard to compensate for the long-lasting impacts that French colonialism has had on Tahiti and its surrounding islands with a single exhibition, but if I had to exhibit it, I would emphasise in all aspects of Gaugin’s paintings the confrontation, sinisterism and exploitation.
Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) exploited Polynesian culture, perpetuating harmful stereotypes among his French audience. He also was a ‘sex tourist’, preying on Polynesian girls as young as 13 years old. So when the National Gallery of Australia decided to hold an exhibition called ‘Gauguin’s World: TŌNA IHO, TŌNA AO’, one can’t help but raise an eyebrow at why we are celebrating such a problematic artist.
The 1892 painting, ‘Manao Tupapau (Spirit of the Dead Watching)’ depicts a Tahitian girl called Teha’amana lying on her stomach, nude, with her head facing us, and directly looking at the viewer that’s looking at her. Gauguin attempts to represent the Polynesian fear of the Tupapau, the ‘spirit of the dead’, that looms over her. However, given his sexual predilections and the probability that Teha’amana was Christian and did not believe in these spirits, the self-mythologising essence of Gaugin’s oeuvre is to be questioned. Is Teha’amana fearing the ghost, or is she fearing the man before her — her husband Gauguin?
Teha’amana was Gauguin’s first muse after setting sail for French Polynesia, in a search for an untouched land. As he put it, he was escaping “everything that is artificial and conventional,” in reference to the Western art world. She was around 13 years old when she met Gauguin according to Noa Noa (1993-94), his partly autobiographical, partly fantasised journal about his experiences in Tahiti, in hopes of depicting the idyll of the Polynesian Pacific life. She became what was commonly known in French Polynesia as his ‘native wife’, meaning a legally non-binding marriage typically between a French man and a Polynesian woman — or in this case, a girl.
Much of Teha’amana’s story is told through Gauguin’s exaggerated perspective from his journal Noa Noa. He described his relationship with Teha’amana as “youth and old age, light and darkness, and life and death.” The age of consent in Tahiti at the time was 13 years old, and many young girls would become ‘native wifes’ to Western men as they provided opportunities for wealth. In other words, marriage to native women was exploitation disguised as a chance for fortune.

It's becoming an obsession. I love antiques and when I see them, I pick them up for props in my conceptual photo shoots. Today was a snow day, so I set up my lights in my kitchen and did some product shooting. I'm pretty happy with the results.

On Sunday 22 February, Mosman residents were invited to recycle their e-waste safely and responsibly. Together we collected 20.5 tonnes of e-waste, which has been diverted from landfill and recycled to make new products! 500 cars came through the e-waste recycling ‘drive-through’, with mostly old TV’s, computer monitors, old cables and cords.
This image belongs to a series of motor vehicle photographs that do not contain owners or people with the vehicles. Therefore, they do not fall completely within the requirement of my 'Family Car' collection.
I thought however that somebody might like to see the rejects.
They have not been cleaned or restored to the extent of the primary collections, and they will not be placed in any Flickr groups.
If any images receive sufficient 'hits', I will consider cleaning them up for a more public release.
