"... a refreshing, vigorous and challenging exhibition, where safe real estate art has been left out."
"Australian Culture Now is fresh, spunky and deliciously raw."
Sasha Grishin, Canberra Times
Unbounded by media or thematic parameters, 2004 Australian Culture Now is a new collaborative venture between the National Gallery of Victoria and the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI). 2004 brings together the work of artists, craftspeople, game-designers, networked media creators, architects and moving image makers who confront rapid change in new and traditional or established media. This national survey of recent work by 130 artists draws individuals into creative dialogue with each other, with the public, and with the social, political and environmental forces of our culture.
This symposium brings together cultural theorists, writers and participating artists to provide a number of alternative, or perhaps oppositional perspectives on 2004 .
2-4pm | Speakers include: |
4-4:30pm | Artist talk in exhibition space: Nicholas Folland |
4:30pm-6pm | Announcement of the John McCaughey Memorial Art Prize |
