Sydney's cohabitational zones: 

The creation of these new works was inspired by ‘cohabitational zones’ Atoui witnessed along Sydney's shorelines, where he observed nature, society and industry coexisting. During his site visit to Sydney in March 2023, he became intrigued by the perforated metal and fiberglass structures used in these zones, recognising them as interfaces that bridge distinct realities.

PODCAST Ears Have Ears #4 - Alaska Orchestra and Rainbow Chan

Australian Museum CEO and Executive Director Kim McKay in conversation with celebrated Australian artist Janet Laurence, artist-in-resident at the Australian Museum.

"There has always been a museumification in my work, I'm always thinking of creating my own little museums... I've made many many models of little museums I'd love to make."

Janet has created the installation "Deep Breathing', made from glass and coral, to emulate a life-saving resuscitation unit and draw attention to the impacts of global warming on one of the world’s great natural wonders - the Great Barrier Reef.

"Often my work is celebrating the beauty and extraordinary aspects of nature, but I feel compelled to reveal - in a state of emergency - what's happening."

Janet’s work was inspired during a residency at the AM’s Lizard Island Research Station (LIRS) situated on the Reef. It is a powerful work that addresses the threat of climate change and human interference to our precious marine environment.

Artist talk: Jonathan Jones in conversation with Michael Brand

In association with Kaldor Public Art Project 32: Jonathan Jones

For the 32nd Kaldor Public Art Project Wiradjuri/Kamilaroi artist Jonathan Jones presents 'barrangal dyara (skin and bones)', a vast sculptural installation stretching across 20,000 square-metres of the Royal Botanic Garden.

The project recalls the 19th-century Garden Palace building where it originally stood in Sydney’s Royal Botanic Garden, before it devastatingly burnt to the ground along with countless Aboriginal objects collected along the colonial frontier.

Thousands of bleached white shields echo the masses of rubble – the only remnants of the building after the fire – raising the layered history and bones of the Garden Palace across the site. A native kangaroo grassland forms the heart of the installation which is activated and enlivened by presentations of Aboriginal language, performances, talks, special events and workshops each day.

In this Art After Hours artist talk, Jonathan Jones discusses the project with Art Gallery of NSW director Michael Brand.

For more information about the project, see the Kaldor Public Art Projects website.

Jonathan Jones in conversation with Michael Brand - 21 September 2016

David White interviews David Bowie as part of a survey of his career through the 1970s.  They discuss several albums, starting with Space Oddity and the inspiration behind it. They move on to The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, the concept behind the record, the Ziggy Stardust character and his storyline, as well as the meaning of the song Suffragette City.  
Bowie recalls how he met producer Ken Scott, and the subsequent success of the album they made together: 1973's Aladdin Sane. He shares his first impressions of the United States, and explains the album cover. The musician also discusses the track The Jean Genie and its connection to Iggy Pop. 
Other albums discussed are Pin Ups and Diamond Dogs. The interview was recorded around the time Bowie's 13th album Lodger was released, in 1979.
