    MOVE video art package

    From its beginning in 1969 the aim of Kaldor Art Projects has been to bring to Australian audiences the latest developments in contemporary international art.


    This project, in partnership and with the very active assistance of the Curriculum Directorate of the NSW Department of Education & Training, continues the same tradition but is more specific in its focus on secondary schools.


    In the first stage of what will be an ongoing project, five young Australian artists have been commissioned to provide moving image works, which with accompanying curriculum materials will be supplied to every government secondary school in New South Wales. Over the next several years the collection will grow with the addition of new commissioned works.


    The aim of this project is to acquaint students with one art form that, although it had its origins approximately 50 years ago, has in the last decade become increasingly in the mainstream of contemporary expression - video art. Also known as "moving image" or "new / digital media", video art has given many artists a new way to express themselves and opens the door to the possibilities of our electronic age.


    I would like firstly to thank the artists and their commercial representatives: Daniel Crooks and John Tonkin, who are represented by Sherman Galleries; Todd McMillan, represented by Grantpirrie; TV Moore, who is represented by Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery and Grant Stevens, represented by Gallery Barry Keldoulis. Thank you also to all the present and future contributors to this project and in particular we thank the Art Gallery of New South Wales and Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu financial services for their support.


    I hope that the encounter with these works will create interest, raise questions and stimulate students to further explore the world of contemporary art.
