The adventures of Mr. Bean

Article Abstract:

Brian Kennedy, director of the National Gallery of Australia, is under fire for his management style 15 months after taking over. His critics charge him with a limited Eurocentric vision and of not continuing in the popular footsteps of his predecessors who practiced thoughtful exhibition and acquisition policies. It is inferred that Kennedy's commitment is to quality and access. He is however credited with having an engaging personality.

Article Abstract:

The Sydney Museum of Contemporary Art is hosting an exhibition of the works of Andy Warhol, which were popular partly because they were easily recognized items like soup cans. The museum will be laying off half its staff as part of a cost-cutting effort by the board of directors.
