• Looking forward to seeing the National Gallery of Australia Emily Kam Kngwarray exhibition, open until April next year.

• This event on the 2024 Woollahra Gallery calendar (February) sounds fabulous, Rockpool Residency: Unseen Worlds. Led by Floorplan Studio, includes the launch of the Floorplan x Nielsen Park field guide.

• The artists' philosopher, Byung-Chul Han, via Kyle Chayka and Nate Gallant’s One Thing project. I’ve added his book, The Crisis of Narration, to my reading list.

• Recommended new read… Day, by Michael Cunningham

• How an ACO Musician practises an impossible piece… wonderful video by Australian Chamber Orchestra viola Liz Woolnough preparing to play Bartók’s String Quartet No.5. I loved the bit about practicing slowly to get it under your fingers.
