art 21
An expansive contemporary art website containing a huge selection of short artist video portraits revealing Artists working methods and motivations as told by the artist themselves. The site also contains a rich educational resource providing free materials, programs and essays that centre on the exploration of contemporary art and artists.
The Teaching page within the art 21 website offers essays, a good glossary and a Educators’ Guide to accompany the “Art in the Twenty-First Century” program but is also a very good educational resource about contemporary art in itself.
A valuable essay examining some key elements and questions surrounding contemporary art practice.
