Inspiration awaits at the Art Gallery of NSW, Sydney

The Art Gallery of New South Wales (AGNSW) has solidified its status as a premier global cultural destination following the completion of its Sydney Modern Project. The institution now comprises two distinct architectural landmarks: the historic Naala Nura (South Building) and the contemporary Naala Badu (North Building), designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architects SANAA. These new Aboriginal names, meaning "seeing Country" and "seeing waters," reflect a deep institutional commitment to Indigenous engagement and the gallery's unique geographic position overlooking Sydney Harbour.

Whiteley showcase reveals struggles with addiction and pursuit of beauty

A touring exhibition from the Brett Whiteley studio in New South Wales, titled *Inside The Studio*, has arrived at the Shepparton Art Museum in Victoria—its final stop and only Victorian venue. The show features drawings, ceramics, sketchbooks, photographs, Whiteley's iconic Sydney Harbour painting, and his 1976 Archibald Prize-winning self-portrait. Wendy Whiteley, the artist's former wife and an artist herself, shares memories of their turbulent marriage, including his struggles with addiction and his intense dedication to his craft. She has also repurchased several of her favorite sketches of her in the bathtub, which had been auctioned off over the years.
