>1. Art right now (Discovery Media)
(Wrote this up myself for the list - a bit rough and ready)
Same company that made AVAD, Australian Visual Artists Database, a text
reference CD ROM, comprised of biographical, bibliographic, exhibition
data from various recognised Australian print reference tools, such as Max
Germaines " Artists and Galleries", etc.
"Art Right Now" selects 48 contemporary Australian artists from the 1994
gallery scene, 10 images per artist. Mouse driven, it has access via artist
name, themes, tests (for student revision use), your slide show ( for
creation of your own program for educational purposes the slides may be
downloaded to your own hard disk). Includes brief artists biog., photo
portrait of many artists, synopsis of each work based on selected reviews
and artists own comments.
A speaker button allows us to listen to 10 of these artists discussing
their work eg. John Cattapan, Peter E. Charuk, Christopher Hodges, Jennifer
Joseph, etc.
Representation includes aboriginal art, feminist art, cultural themes,
landscape, abstraction, figuration.
Media: painting, mixed media, 3-D Forms, Installation-based art.
SUMMARY
A very good introduction to some of the artists in the contemporary
Australian art scene, representing current developments in 1994. Further
projects are planned.
Designed for secondary and tertiary use.
