The La Trobe University Art History Alumni, with the National Gallery of Victoria, presents the sixteenth annual Rae Alexander Lecture, which is to be delivered by La Trobe distinguished alumnus Tony Ellwood.
The lecture will encompass a range of subjects looking at the approaches of the 21st century art museum. The lecture will include a discussion of the NGV’s major summer exhibition, Melbourne Now; an exhibition that will include up to 200 artists and a team of over 30 curators, resulting in the largest exhibition in the NGV’s history.
Tony Ellwood is the Director of the National Gallery of Victoria and was previously Director of the Queensland Art Gallery and the Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA). He has served on numerous State and Commonwealth boards for the Arts, and was on the selection committees for the 2003 and 2007 Venice Biennales.
The lecture is the Art History Alumni’s premier event for the year and it is our great pleasure to be in partnership with the National Gallery of Victoria for this, the eighth occasion.
