Issue 7 Nov – Dec 2017

Issue #7 is all about Australian art and culture. We welcome the festive months with The Pool, an architecture exhibition on display at The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia, Julie Ewington writes about the ‘Australianness’ of contemporary art here and now, and four leading Australian artists share their motivations, drivers, inspirations and studio processes. Internationally, and ahead of the NGV Triennial exhibition opening in December, we also profile three more NGV Triennial artists.

All this and more in the Nov/Dec issue of NGV Magazine.
