White Rabbit - Sydney

The White Rabbit Gallery is a new gallery space in Sydney's Chippendale, displaying contemporary art from China. The collection of more than 450 post-2000 works by contemporary Chinese artists has been accumulated over 10 years by Judith Neilson, the wife of the Platinum Asset Management co-founder Kerr Neilson. After years in storage, the works have finally taken their place inside the White Rabbit Gallery, one of numerous privately funded public museums soon to open in Australia. With free admission and no commercial sales, they exist to exhibit the wealth of private collections.

AAAARG - art theory

AAAARG is a conversation platform - at different times it performs as a school, or a reading group, or a journal.

AAAARG was created with the intention of developing critical discourse outside of an institutional framework. But rather than thinking of it like a new building, imagine scaffolding that attaches onto existing buildings and creates new architectures between them.

Amsterdam-based film and video artist Fiona Tan represents the Netherlands at the 53rd International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia. Fiona Tan was born in Indonesia and grew up in Australia. In 1988 she moved to the Netherlands to pursue studies at the Rietveld Academie and the Rijksakademie. Her work has been exhibited widely in numerous international exhibitions and institutions including Documenta 11 (Kassel), Yokohama Triennale (Japan), and the New Museum (New York). Fiona Tan lives and works in Amsterdam, where she teaches at De Ateliers.

In Venice, she presents three video installations: Disorient (2009), a new video installation that draws on the city’s medieval influence before the discovery of new routes to Asia diminished its power; Provenance (2008), a research on 17th-century, “Golden Age” portrait paintings; and Rise and Fall (2009), a video installation that focuses on images of water — turbulent, churning as well as slow-moving and placid — as a metaphor for how memory is formed. Excerpts of the videos are available on the Dutch Pavilion website.
