303 INTO ART
303 has picked up the Art Gallery of Western Australia. Says 303 Perth Managing Director Alan Taylor: “Naturally, the Art Gallery has always been highly supportive of creativity, so this is a great creative opportunity for us. Stefano Carboni’s appointment heralds a new era and it is great to be partnering with the Gallery in this exciting period. Our first task will be to devise a communications campaign for the exhibition THING beware the material world and we will also be looking closely at a digital strategy.”
THING will be a bold exhibition of furniture, lighting, sculpture and photography that celebrates the human impulse to shape and re-shape the world around us and challenge perceptions of what design can be. It opens on 18 April 2009.
Carboni was recently appointed the Gallery’s new Director. He was previously curator and administrator in the Department of Islamic Art at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art and Visiting Professor at the Bard Graduate Centre.
The appointment is for a three year period. The Art Gallery was previously with Marketforce.

That should fill the gap left by Ikea.
Did this go out to tender? Who else was shortlisted?
Why no comments enabled in the CB Awards call for entry? That is a bitch-fest waiting to happen. Come on CB, don’t be shy!
Very sarcastic 6.59. It will actually fill the gap left by HBF.
In my somewhat humble opinion, they went with the RIGHT agency…
How do you know Jo? What other agencies were shortlisted? Don’t they have to make that public, or is it worth less than $20,000?
MF was shafted and the art gallery has shown no loyalty in return for years of subsidised service and some excellent ads.
The Art Gallery was a sponsorship client of Marketforce and has decided on a new sponsorship arrangement. The Art Gallery was a great client of Marketforce and provided some terrific creative opportunities over many years. We wish the Art Gallery and everyone we worked with every success in their new relationship.
