...Hong Kong--is chairman. At the family's weekly Sunday brunches at a mountainside luxury tower that houses three generations of Fungs, the brothers usually pair off to talk shop. But unlike many other Asian companies, which are treated as opaque clan fiefs, Li & Fung produces a straight-talking triennial three-year plan, and the brothers are regularly ranked as top managers in Asia...
...York City, Gittoes cracked the creative jackpot, with films that could just as easily play on VH1 as in the current documentary-obsessed contemporary art world. (Three years on, curators can't get enough of Soundtrack, which, from March 9, screens as part of the third Auckland Triennial, called "Turbulence.") Gittoes' use of popular culture to explore the Iraq war "is a really amazing way in," says Russell Storer of Sydney's Museum of Contemporary Art.

...Designed to face the river, creating a large lagoon of light inside, this $A100 million cultural complex succeeds by placing art at the service of the architecture, then ever so gently shifting our view of it.

A little competition has been good for the Queensland newcomer, however, prompting...
...glass, the Queensland Gallery of Modern Art is anchored by the black box of a cinema at its base. Two theaters and an exhibition space will form the hub of Australia's first Cinematheque within an art museum, when it opens with the Asia-Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art in November 2006. "One of the most important visual arts of the 20th century is cinema," says director Hall, who hopes to present film, video and art in "this nice seamless interconnection." Kick-starting the film program next month is the exhibition "Kiss of the Beast," which uses the original...
