The new Sydney Modern is not about the Art.

The new Sydney Modern building, aka the North Building of the NSW Art Gallery is finally open. Over many lunchtime walks I observed the building grow from a construction site through to the magnificent edifice that it is today. I was able to visit the gallery a few weeks after opening and had some mixed feelings about the new gallery. <img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:700/1*c58SRX3sisvmCNG-9j1ExQ.png" style="height:467px; width:700px" /> The new Sydney Modern The first impression was of the courtyard off Art Gallery Road, which is populated by a trio of pairs of blue characters. The sculptures were striking, perfectly scaled for the space and interesting without being intimidating. Perfect for a gathering space at the entry to the building. <a href="https://medium.com/@dainpenman/the-new-sydney-modern-is-not-about-the-art-e59de3aa105b">Website</a>
