Dodge city

Article Abstract:

Alan Dodge states that the Art Gallery of Western Australia had little visibility when he became its director in 1998 and that there was little connection between the gallery and the Festival of Perth. He describes the exhibit called 'Contemporary Art in Asia: Traditions/Tensions' as his effort to raise the profile of the museum. He hopes to build a Centre for Australia and the Indian Ocean Rim in the center of Perth.

Culture czar

Article Abstract:

Western Australia's Arts Minister Peter Foss is suggesting to create an arts super ministry. He plans to streamline the arts agencies by removing their independent status and putting them into a single corporate entity. He questions the motives behind having a museum, an art gallery, a library, arts departments with individual accounts.

The festival will lose use of the Perth Concert Hall to another venue, reducing the number of programs performed during the three-week festival. Festival director David Blenkinsop and Western Australia arts minister Peter Foss are at odds over support of the festival.
