The annual MCA Bella Dinner will soon be held in Sydney. An annual event, the dinner also hosts a prize draw which costs $1000 to enter, but entrants are guaranteed to win one of 30 fine contemporary pieces. This year they even have a Kusama in the mix (see below).
The Kusama is by far the most valuable piece – and a stunning work in its own right – but for sheer beauty,whimsy and originality, my favourite has to be the Lionel Bawden sculpture made from coloured Staedtler pencils (above).
You can view all the works here. If you want to enter, you’d better be quick, as the draw is notorious for selling out before you can say “Bargain”.

About traffman
I don't like labelling people, but if I were a blog post, I'd be tagged something like this:
sydney, australia, melbourne, albury, male, gen-y, gay, hr, media, art, architecture, nailbiter, photography, design, business, atheist, apolitical, caucasian, lhatese, taken, citroen, gym, swim, brunette, black humour
So that's me, now for my story.
I started life growing up in rural Australia as the third of five boys. For the first 18 years of my life, I knew I wanted to be an architect. I would spend free time drawing house plans and reading architecture books. But when I finished school and started to study architecture at university, I had one horrible realisation: architecture is not the career for me.
So I quit the degree and talked my way into a PA role, which had the unforseen side-affect of giving me a taste of the business world. Six years later I graduated from a business degree and have been working in Human Resources in the media industry ever since.
So here I am. On New Years Eve 2009 I made a resolution to find my artistic aesthetic. So I started culturepublic. The idea is that I'll post for a year and then look at my tag cloud to see what I'm most interested in.
So thanks for being part of my journey.
