The most recent edition of Artist Profile Magazine (issue 24) has a feature on a forum held at the Museum of Contemporary art which brought together artists, curators and critics in a discussion about judgement, what it is and do we need it. Here are some video excepts of the forum.

Bottled History
This beaut little film about a master miniature ship-in-a-bottle builder is not something that I would usually post but the precision & patience is something I can relate to in my own artwork.
Ray Gascoigne has been around boats his whole life, as a shipwright, a merchant sailor, and now as a ship builder on the smallest dry dock there is: a bottle. This short film by Smith Journal and Melbourne-based production studio Commoner picks through the wood chips to tell the story of a craft honed over 60 years, and the man behind it. A step-by-step account of the process was featured in Smith Journal volume six.
