I would prefer something from the Lombard school or copies of the great art of the Middle Ages. Eurocentric, but great art. And mixed with the music of the same period. Also, far eastern and middle eastern art from the same period. Most of us will never have the opportunity to see the originals but a gallery of copies would be a popular attraction.
Look at the pyramids and be humbled. Look at the cradle of civilization and be humbled.

it's not terrible, but not good either. It just needs to decide what it's trying to be; too many different materials, shapes, and colours, with the overall result a bit busy and confused.

I agree. I wonder how the wood panel material will turn out. To me, the entrance/garage area looks a little weird and it seems low on street interaction.

I know a lot of people aren't a big fan of the Brunswick streetscape but it's unique in the city as a small highrise canyon with all modern buildings. The street pattern and flatiron lots are interesting too.

Yes - I am under the impression that he was concerned about the choice to use the word "aboriginal" as it's not the preferred terminology and he thought might indicate there was not enough consultation with the community to be represented by the gallery.

"Please be advised that a decision has been made by the JAG owner to not proceed with the above referenced project, due to the impact the Covid Pandemic has placed on the project. "
