Heide Museum of Modern Art presents TERMINUS JESS JOHNSON AND SIMON WARD
2 November 2019 to 1 March 2020
7 Templestowe Rd, Bulleen VIC 3105
When Tony Collins said "you practically started living in Heide Museum" so comfortable I feel there on their grounds as if it was so mine: the place, the forest around the modern look architecture and the art art art, he was 100 right... I walked today there again and while lying on the ground watching the skies passing by I thought: I am coming here on Tuesday when there is less people than on weekends and I set up a smallest tent here and get my computer in and the dogs out on the leashes to bark at squirrels... oh sorry again.. those different ones, that look like squirrels that Australians do not like at all as they surround the trees with plastic making poor animals lose their inhabitants : THEY WERE HERE FIRST in Melbourne, before us, people! The ones who came late should shut the doors, not get rid of possums!
Anyway... making my short story long again... Heide Museum I like only because of it its service at the cafe... no.. .lies again.. only because of their run and raisins ice cream- we are getting to the truth very fast, Natasha... faster this time..
My first exhibition to visit there is Heide Museum: TERMINUS JESS JOHNSON AND SIMON WARD
I walk in... I do not know what to expect... the floors and walls, are covered with strangely looking art: more like fractals, there are fashion mannequins, there are tapestry art pieces, images again framed, unframed... what is this? One of the girls at the museum exhibition halls approaches me and gently asks: do you know what it is? it is a virtual art... would you like me to offer you the 3D computer glasses and you should seat down please miss as your experience will be very dizzy. I submit... I did not want to see it but I will try...
She gently places the goggles on my eyes and the film starts... wait... where am I? Is it all happening here, around me or is it inside my head? I am surrounded by endless labyrinth s pouring one into another, pink deer, men performing gym tricks, walls turn into ceilings and floors into walls, my head is spinning, the images change one after another and I keep walking where the .artist vision takes me... I am mesmerized... It takes 5 min for the film to finish.. I get addicted and move to another "goggle" stand .. i think I know how to put the glasses and the head piece on. Only to see what is next?
One more labyrinth... It is a sun rise.. It is a gorgeous palace , I am inside of it... The fire bowls are burning... People walking. I fall somewhere... or where was it?.. .It finishes already... but I want more... I feel my computer game will never finish and these topological wonders with everlasting lollipops, tarantulas, crabs, blue and while colored worms, women's legs, falling down pineapples, raising from no where building columns and space metamorphosis will be chasing me forever.. Erkin and Andrew , how did you guys survive this? I mean how did you survive the real world after that beauty inside us? That real world presented to us by Tronald Dump I mean... I felt like this computer generated hologram read my night dreams... This game has no name but this name has the game. If I had to choose what to be in that world I would be Natasha... or sorry.. in the other one: The Eye. The one observing what it creates. Many beauties!
But the fun has finished up with the equation, in complex formula wrapping up in "this" equal to "that".. The exhibition ended... I highly recommend you all to see it but watch the Botanical one after and go for a short stroll in the forest around the property of Heide Museum,,, as driving might be very dangerous after the computer dreams...
Note: I could have written all of the above from the perspective of the art expert ... As I am not the one I have chosen to write following the eyes of the common exhibition visitor... and well, come along with your family and kids - the latter will looooooove the technology... It is their world as they still remember it from the source. ... My nest exhibition...

Heide Museum of Modern Art presents
TERMINUS JESS JOHNSON AND SIMON WARD
2 November 2019 to 1 March 2020
7 Templestowe Rd, Bulleen VIC 3105
New Zealand artists Jess Johnson and Simon Ward have collaborated to create a uniquely combined work of art. Jess created ten SciFi drawings which appear as though they were computer generated. But they are a result of a major intensive drawing technique using fine tipped pens. Simon extrapolated five of Jess’ ten drawings into Virtual Reality (VR), allowing visitors the choice of five surreal adventures
There are five different VR portals with a tessellated maze leading visitors from one portal to the other. Each VR experience lasts for an average of eight minutes, taking visitors through biblical, art deco, ancient or SciFi scenes, where they can experience humanoids floating in the atmosphere; the potentially scary sensation of looking down from great heights with no ground to stand on; and amazing panoramic views. I tried to reach out and touch a passing object but was abruptly stopped by the museum wall! These experiences were totally immersive and greatly enhanced my imagination.
In addition to Terminus, there was a selection of quilts that Jess and her mother Cynthia, a textile worker and quilt maker collaborated to produce. With quilting having a very strong influence on Jess’ art practice, she digitally printed her drawings onto fabric for her mother to quilt.
Jess also did some fashion drawings which made up the Spring/Summer range Mysteria Wisteria 2016. Designed from Jess’ drawings, fashion house “Romance is Born”, created some unique garments, including a beaded dress worn by Baz Luhrman’s wife Catherine Martin to one of the Met Balls.

second exhibition... continued...
· My second stop is in building 2 of Heide and it looks so marvelous... Love the space and how it is organised... I would stay and live there but I could not find the kitchen my fav place of the house no matter how good I searched... NO KITCHEN... so I am staying where I am now.. but Heide is forever mine... The next exhibition is
EN ROUTE WONA BAE AND CHARLIE LAWLER
(I personally think the Heide Museun hires only models, so good all the women who work there look... I am stunned! Add to this they are all highly intelligent and artistic themselves.... they reminded me of the girls that work at the Moscow Tchaikovski Conservatorium : they all sound like best symphony in the world but very silent, not Tchaikovski ones... yes, they all looked like my solfeggio teacher G T Semenko... but let's talk about the art... . this exhibition is the gift to all of us loving highly creative compositions from not ordinary materials. I have no idea how long did it take to source the medium, to put it all together and then to erect it at the museum halls. More to that: they are spaced so gorgeously as they were always there, part of the the room corner,hanging from the ceiling, sneaking out of the next room inviting us to the next space just to surprise again and again with the variety and inventive mind of those authors. who think outside the usual frame..
I walked the exhibition twice and suddenly saw the lizard outside the window. He was baking in the sun close to his hiding place. He loved Heide too I guess... I asked if he is part of the exhibition and the girl who accompanied me kindly through all the rooms starting from the very first exhibition laughed. She said: no... But I replied: now he is... :)
My trip wanted to be ended traditionally with the garden patches visit that look more and more clean and more and more looked after as the weeks pass by ... new colors keep appearing as well as new edible plants and herbs do. I thought : the flowers never know if they might have a second life: as some one else's art or photography...
I also thought to show our September issue magazines devoted to animals, plants, birds and flowers... It all ended up in the nature... well and rum and raising ice cream - yet again green tea.
THANK YOU HEIDE MUSEUM for having me here... I wait for Erkin's photos to put this all into one gorgeous page about the museum I fell in love with... thank you again Tony Collins!
Last note: I showed the lizard to the dogs... Dasha ran away from me yesterday and today again just to come back and see him again... She liked him too... We could not find him today. Probably the lizards happen only once with you!

9 November—2 February 2020
The Heide II building is the perfect place for this unique, immersive exhibition. Installations constructed from dried robusta palm leaves pervade every room of this modernist building. I saw the leaves in woven circles and wreaths hanging and swaying from the ceiling, as well as unending lengths of dried leaves draped over walls and window rails. Most remarkable was the living room where what looks like an “avalanche” of leaves appears to be entering around the corner into the living space.
A strong pungent smell emanating from the dried palm leaves greeted was extremely pervasive throughout this installation. Also noticeable was an almost imperceptible sound like the breeze rustling the leaves.
I felt this exhibition was a statement about how we could better connect with the outside in our living spaces
