In answer to some of your questions blakbyrd
Australian representation:
artists:
Juan Davila - born 1946 Santiago, Chile. Lives in Melbourne,
Australia.
Simryn Gill - born 1959 Singapore. Lives in Sydney, Australia, and
Port
Dickson, Malaysia.
Are their Documenta works viewable online?
How did they relate to the Documenta theme and to the works of the
other artists?
----
The Visual Arts Board of the Australia Council for the Arts
assisted with
the costs of artists Simryn Gill and Juan Davila and editors/arts
writers
Andrew Murphie, Yanni Florence and Leo Edelstein to attend documenta.
Murphie, Florence or Edelstein have no connection with empyre.
In terms of attendance.. Almost everyone who goes to Venice goes to
documenta.. Its the Grand Tour with Munster and Art Basel.

0k, who goes to venice?
Re the tour.
http://printaustralia.blogspot.com/2007/05/grandtour-2007.html
Which Australians artists get the opportunity to travel to the
Tour? What percentage? What financial assistance do they receive,
and from where?
- what relevence does a European show have for Australians?
- should we be funding more or less participation?
================
Magazine project:
empyre fourm - born 2002 Sydney, facilitated from Australia and
Nth and Sth
America - represented at documenta by Christina McPhee (USA)
Congratulations. does Empyre have a physical prescence at kassel?
Were any other Australian art magazines represented, in print, blogs?
================
- has anyone analysed the distribution of representation amongst
countires or by gender ?
I was thinking of the guerilla girls' weenie count. Is there a
feminist critique?
==================
curating Documenta/examining the process
Who curated the Australian contribution and how were the curators
selected?
What was the rationale for the selection of these particular artists?
I note the recent Davila show in Victoria and its association with
Arkley. Is it the same work?
==================
My internet art practice is largely about providing information to
artists seperated by distance and to facilitate networking.
