Review: Unlike other galleries, Sydney Modern isn’t designed for Instagram. But that’s why it works so well

Sydney Modern cascades from The Domain to Woolloomooloo Bay.In Australia, we congratulate ourselves on the careful calibration of our architecturea landscape. And it is this type of ‘stroll-through-the-park’ informality that is enormously attractive to visit. Leaving all pretension at the door, the experience is more pleasurable curiosity than the glitz you might have expected from the harbour city’s newest cultural player.

The Art Gallery Road facade is about the same height as the trees that frame and layer the site from every angle, along with the larger-than-life bronze figures of New Zealand artist Francis Upritchard that have taken up residence here. Decidedly deferential in scale to Walter Liberty Vernon’s 1902 gallery, the new building, with its softy curved roofline sliding in under the green canopy, seems eager to take its place among friends. In the words of one colleague, it “wears its scale well”.

The organisation of the building is clear: three main boxes and one underground tank, arranged down the hill.Credit:

Renowned Sydney barrister Sandy Dawson SC dies aged 50Alexander 'Sandy' Dawson, one of the country's top defamation lawyers, is being remembered by colleagues and clients as a man of 'rare wit' and 'impeccable integrity' after dying following a 'final battle with cancer'. Terribly sad. The Dawson family has been through too much. 🙏🏻 So sad. Some families really have a lot of bad luck. This guy was clearly brilliant, hoping he is with his sister again. A man named Sandy, a proficient defamation lawyer... That's almost as good as somebody named Bankman running away with other peoples billions.
