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.
