Indigenous art 'front and centre' of Art Gallery of NSW revamp

Today, only patrons who make their way to the lowest level of the gallery will see NSW’s collection of Indigenous art. The collection’s obscure location is one that Australian artist and Art Gallery of NSW board member, Ben Quilty said was a “constant embarrassment” on Wednesday.   "The fact that it's still in a basement is sort of a hangover of colonial era, in a sense," he said. Quilty said artwork from Aboriginal communities in Central and South…

The government has got 'amnesia' when it comes to Australia’s dark ...

Mr Panzetta remembers the first time he saw Tash, who had turned up late for a lecture and dribbled a soccer ball the length of the theatre before bouncing it up every stair to the top of the hall. “I’m just watching him like, ‘who does this guy think he is?’” Mr Panzetta recalls. “We weren't actually mates in uni, we were in the same course, but he was always the guy who kicked a soccer ball around.” After a bumpy start, a decade later Mr Pa…
