Online Gallery of 25th Telstra Art Award

Last Friday’s announcement of the winners of the 25th Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards also saw the launch of an online exhibition of the artworks, along with a video tour of the gallery area where the artwork is located at the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory.

The online gallery also features audio of artists’ descriptions of their works that can be downloaded as MP3’s or as a podcast, while the 3-D artworks are viewable as video files.  This is the first time the Telstra Art Award’s 117 pre-selected finalists have been presented in their four award categories in an online exhibition.  To view the exhibition in its optimum format Flash Player is required; however a HTML version is also available. The exhibition at the Museum and ArtGallery of the Northern Territory is open until 26 October 2008. To view the exhibition online click here www.nt.gov.au.
