 Art galleries
this time, in particular Australian ones.
A reasonable
place to start is Australian
Art Links, despite the typing errors. Here you can choose
Galleries, Aboriginal Sites, Australian Search Engines or Australian
Government Sites. The Aboriginal links take you to several art-oriented
sites, as well as more general sites on Aboriginal culture and politics.
The Government links represent web pages for the all nine Australian
Governments. These in turn lead to their respective publicly funded
galleries.
Antiques
& Art Australia has several subpages.
On the one entitled Commercial Art Galleries you can view lists of
commercial galleries, either by gallery name, town, specialty or artist.
This site has its own search engine.
Every major
gallery in the country now has its own Net page. At the National
Gallery of Australia web site exhibitions feature strongly,
including a section on Travelling Exhibitions for rural art lovers. When
I last visited, the New Media subpage was announcing the Under a
Southern Sun exhibition, " . . . the Australian landscape as seen
through the artworks of 25 of our leading painters, sculptors, and
photographers . . . the first in a series of ten titles . . . [in] the
Australia-on-CD program."
Sydney is blessed
with two large public art galleries, both of which have useful web
sites: Art Gallery of NSW
and Museum of Contemporary
Art. The former concentrates on its exhibitions, old and new.
Other topics, very thoroughly covered, include Collections, Library,
Shop and Calendar, plus Public & Education Programmes. A fine site,
befitting a great institution.
The MCA is
equally well served, and likewise emphasises its exhibitions. Also
present are subpages called Education and Diary, as well as links to
other Net art sites.
