Not Quite Art DIY Museums
Not Quite Art is an insightful and humourous journey through an increasingly fragmented cultural landscape - where the internet and communications have given us a set of cultural choices and influences unimaginable even a decade ago. Presenter and writer Marcus Westbury has unearthed an eclectic and amusing mix of artists, writers, critics and musicians whose work has found their audiences - often in the millions - through networks well outside the traditional ideas of where 'Australian culture' lives. Not Quite Art traces how our culture is shifting from the hierarchical, local and parochial structures to a global and networked world where Australian artists have audiences around the world, yet often remain relatively unknown in their local community.
