A progressive and contemporary society

If people saw enough good contemporary art they

would get to like it — they just couldn’t help themselves

The public will forgive you as long as you are

not boring

Forget museum or gallery - think 21st

century creative hub

Mangorei Cricket Club Senior Men, 1990

Create more value than you capture

Grief opens you up

a lot more people are going to be in the presence of art, and some of them will look

at things that transport them

Says she'll take him to the Museumof Dead Ideas and Emotions.Wonders that he hasn't been there yet.Says it looks like a Federal courthouseWith its many steps and massive columns.

The power of naivety

The Man with the Bicycle

That’s not what museums talk like

The Caring Museum

Social services should look after the vulnerable and museums should look after the history

We are in a luxurious position

Nothing less than the making and changing of culture

Looking outside

Doing things here

Thank you
