Join co-director of The Chartwell Trust Sue Gardiner as each week she explores the background to the exhibition Shout Whisper Wail!: The 2017 Chartwell Show.
Increasingly, contemporary art exhibitions are engaging audiences at public art galleries through their diversity, interactivity and relevance within the wider contemporary culture. As a significant contemporary collection, held at Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki, the Chartwell Collection is the focus of a major exhibition every three years, in which collection works are on view amongst new commissions and public programming.
This course, in association with Shout Whisper Wail!, explores the background to the Chartwell Trust, the history of Chartwell Collection exhibitions at Auckland Art Gallery and discusses, along with exhibition curator Natasha Conland, the works in the current exhibition.
