abc.net.au/news/sydney-modern-art-gallery-of-nsw-new-gallery/101717336It's been 10 years and $344 million dollars in the making, but on Saturday December 3, the Art Gallery of New South Wales will finally open the doors of its highly anticipated new building.
There was talk of an "architectural renaissance" and comparisons drawn to Tate Modern's Turbine Hall and the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Guggenheim Museum in New York City. Brand described the new building as a "21st-century art museum" where the voices of artists are central."There are stories told [here] in a multiplicity of voices from a multitude of places, but they're all told across Sydney," he said.
Speaking at the press conference, deputy director and director of collections Maud Page described this commissioning process "as one that has given breadth and ambition to artists to work with us and to tell us what they think an art museum leading into 2023 needs to be". Korean artist Kimsooja's gently monumental participatory work Archive of Mind is a highlight here, with visitors invited to sit and mindfully mould a handful of clay that is added to the galaxy of hand-shaped spheres on the enormous table in front of them.
Rubbish. It's a box. A glass and steel box. An indictment of everyone involved.
Still small compared to sports funding for concrete stadiums that stand empty most days of the week.
What was wrong with the old one?
Art is so important that everyone else has to pay for it.
Imagine how many affordable houses you could build for $344 million...
Just what the country needs in these trying times.. what a waste
