Feature
Stephanie Radok

Explores the relationship between art making in the city and the regional areas.

Striking a Chord: David Keeling's Postcolonial Tasmania
Feature
Ian McLean

The measure of an artist's public success is the extent to which his or her art matters to a particular community. David Keeling aims to present a critical discourse that participates in existing social and political debates. His turning point was not completing his post-graduate degree, not moving to the big smoke or winning a grant or prize, or having a sell-out exhibition but a revelation.

How the Tail Now Wags the Dog
Feature
Rodney Crackers

One would have to be a marketing executive, or just extremely sanguine, to see much that is good in the current system for funding teaching and research in our universities. This is not to claim that the Dawkins reforms replaced something wonderful or fair. But we now have a system that is actively promoting mediocrity ona a national, even international scale. Let me explain, for the uninitiated how it works.
