AGNSW launches digital iPad publication


The Art Gallery of New South Wales has launched a digital iPad publication to accompany the Anne Landa Award for video and new media arts 2013 exhibition The Space Between Us. The publication explores the relationship between video and performance art through videos, audio clips, still images, essays and curator interviews.

The Space Between Us features works by Lauren Brincat, Alicia Frankovich, Laresa Kosloff, Angelica Mesiti, Kate Mitchell, James Newitt and Christian Thompson.

"Each artist approaches the idea of performance from a different angle, " says curator Charlotte Day. "A number of the artists are there performing directly, a few of the artists are creating situations in which performances occur whereas others are drawing on a rich history of performance and how they might create a kind of space in which we can come together."

The winner of this year's $25,000 Anne Landa Award will be announced later this month.
