Hypothetical Product
Feature
Peter Anderson

Critics rarely talk about money and art. How to price a work of art and how to make a living of about $35,000 per annum are discussed.

Peter Wynn-Moylan

The Northern Rivers Region of NSW has more practising artists per head of population than any other region of Australia.

The Artist and the Critic
Feature
Joanna Mendelssohn

Fortunately not all critics are so urgently in need of friends that they write hymns of praise after every long lunch. Some even relish being labelled 'ungrateful'. I would argue that the only critic worth reading is an ungrateful critic. Looks at the role of visual art criticism in the newspaper columns of the daily press.

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.
