Another entry into immersive art. Taking over the location that had been the Museum of Money on Wall St., Monet's Garden recreates Giverny and chronicles artist Monet's life. You can even create your own water lily to put into the garden pond.
“Varicoloured, captivating and referential assemblages
pertaining to the body are crafted by Emma Fitts. Rehabilitating histories, she
takes as her subject matter well-known, local artistic and political personages
such as Louise Henderson, Edith Collier, Frances Hodgkins, Olivia Spencer Bower
and Marilyn Waring. Inspiration is provided by almost out-moded fashions, aged
clothing patterns as well as worn bolts of cloth. Aside from these
historically-informed re-visitations, Fitts also attempts to realise
felt-states in configurations or block-like shapes of darkened fabrics that
hover in space like the plans of half-remembered rooms.”

‘I’m
always saying “I collaborate with spiders” but I think the spiders, they
collaborate with us,’ Argentinian artist Tomás Saraceno. Inside Tasmania’s Mona, he is using
spiders, soil and a floating backpack to encourage awareness of nature and
sustainability in ‘the Capitalocene”. Dust mites, it turns out, are born
performers. Just give them an eye-high beam of light and a dark room and
they’ll spin, sparkle, prance and pirouette.https://mona.net.au/museum/exhibitions/tomás-saraceno
