Celeb spotting

I went to the Museum of Contemporary Art this afternoon in an attempt to get a bit of culture. I saw some Australian artists and an exhibition by Yinka Shonibare, a British Nigerian artist.

He "explores issues of race and class through a range of media that includes sculpture, painting, photography, and installation art" it was actually pretty cool if a bit 'shocking' in places, the african style fabrics he creates are amazingly detailed and all symbolic and stuff.

But, I have to admit I was more excited by what I realised was going on downstairs. The cast and crew of the new Baz Lurhmann film, Australia (inc Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman), were doing a press conference in one of the rooms, and then came outside to have their photos taken in front of the opera house. Can't wait to see the film now!
