Mona is the Tasmanian equivalent of the Museum of Modern Art. It's like a Krypt, dug out from an island in the Derwent River, a hole that contains a collection of Post - Modern artwork from the collection of David Walsh.
One of the fascinating aspects of Mona has been the prospect of recording ones path through the museum and in fact the use of ipods to review the purpose, meaning, opinion and position of the art work. The path that I took is represented in the following link http://mona.net.au/theo/ .
As a tour through a contemporary art gallery I felt that Mona provided an enigmatic space in which to view the artwork. The architecture of the basement provided a unique space for the artwork as you are very much aware of the fact that you are underground during the experience. Most of the work was displayed individually providing a great deal of contrast as one walk from one artwork to the next. Mona included a number of projections and the first artwork Encyclopedia by Charles Sandison was projected directly onto the sandstone wall with fascinating mini animations formulating and reformulating new word patterns.
