Curating Contemporary Art in the 21st Century Museum

Drawing on her ten years of experience as Curator of Contemporary Art at Australia's oldest and largest encyclopaedic museum, the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, Kelly Gellatly discusses some of the challenges faced by curators and artists alike as the museum changes to accommodate the expectations of its diverse audiences, and to remain of interest – and relevant – to what many perceive as their increasingly time-poor and complex lives.

She is currently in town to visit with curators and local universities and conduct artist portfolios reviews, and she will also present a lecture at Shalini Ganendra Fine Art’s Vision Culture Program.
