MONA FOMA


The Museum of Old & New Art's Festival of Art and Music - MONA FOMA - took place last weekend in Hobart. We went to see one exhibit, Discordia, a collection of amplified electric guitars and a flock of finches co-existing in sweet disharmony. It was fantastic...surprisingly peaceful and meditative. You moved quietly around the room, beautifully set up with a sand island and horizontally stood guitars, and the birds moved in response, alighting on the miked up instruments and creating unique hymns. Kids loved it too!

Where: Discordia took place in the Long Gallery, in the Salamanca Arts Centre, where there were also a number of other exhibits.
