For the final Exhibit A program, Julie Copeland looks back at a few of our arts festivals. These are festivals which not only bring together exciting international and local performances and performers, but increasingly provide a forum for creative ideas and debate.
|
In 2004 the Opera Company of South Australia presented the Mount Everest of opera, with an international cast performing Richard Wagner's four epic operas, the Ring of the Nibelung, in this country's first ever all-Australian production.
|
We took a trip to Delmore Station in the Northern Territory 12 years ago, to track the growing status of Indigenous art. We found out how contemporary Aboriginal artists retained connections with the land, ceremony and storytelling -- and how they dealt with the art market at that time.

The first of four programs on just a few of the interesting people Julie Copeland has met in the art world. American scholar Louis Luprecht Jr traces the history of the first ever public art museum, the Vatican Museum, which began in 18th century Rome, largely due to the so-called father of modern art history, German scholar Johan Winkleman.

With the release of Bernard Smith's new (and probably last) book, The Formalesque, Australia's most distinguished art historian discusses his writings about art since the publication of his groundbreaking book Place, Taste and Tradition over sixty years ago.
