Artists take different approaches towards their work. There are four fundamental roles that they might use when portraying their work.

April 11, 2012 The Moment In-Between We are in a world of the known and the unknown. Some of us tend to stick to the known for their own reasons and some would prefer to understand the things that we can only imagine. In the world of art we see many ideas and interpretations of both. When coming across a piece called Vessel by an artist named Sarah Wiseman, I found the feeling of being in-between the known and unknown.

“The modern museum entombs art/artefacts in an artificial and sterile environment which alienates the viewer and which severs the object from its original context and its living purpose.” With which comment do you agree? Include in your discussion reference to the literature on museums and at least one gallery/museum which might be used to illustrate your point of view (some local examples: the National Gallery of Victoria, the Ian Potter Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art at Heide, the Melbourne Museum, the Immigration Museum, the Chinese Museum).
