‘GOOD VIBRATIONS’ COMES TO WYNDHAM
feedback journalism workshops Wyndham College
[The following article was written by Andrea Hooper, Year 11 student at Wyndham College. Trish Keller, our fabulous host from Wyndham emailed it through today!]
On Monday, October 30th, Wyndham College had an exciting visit from the Good Vibrations crew. Michael Luck Schneider, a sound artist, and Bruce Odland, an installation artist fresh from New York city, were accompanied by Lucas Ihlein, Education Officer at Sydney’s Museum of Contemporary Art, Vic McEwan the preparatory artist at the MCA and Darrin Baker who is making a documentary on the ‘art making’ process. The group have been travelling to various schools in Sydney to work directly with special needs and mainstream students to collect sounds and pictures to incorporate into their artwork. All are part of the MCA’s Bella Program for Youth with Specific Needs.
back in action dates electrician extension rain repairs
Good news!
The caravan has been sealed up tight against the rain, and the electrician came and went and was satisfied that everything is running smoothly again. So “Good Vibrations” is back on the MCA’s front lawn and fully operational.
The MCA has decided to extend the work’s exhibition on the front lawn by 1 week, so the new closing date is Tuesday 21 November! (of course, with Murphy’s Law in operation, that’ll be the last rain we have for months…)

On Friday morning, under ominously grey skies, the ribbon was cut, coffee and bikkies handed out, as the Good Vibrations caravan finally came home to the front lawn of the MCA. Loaded up with images, sounds and movies from all the locations we’ve visited, (not to mention bumper stickers from each place too!) the mobile art workshop has now become a fully fledged interactive art installation in its own right.
