Management by Gallows at The National Art School

 The silence is deafening.

 So, the gallows are working again at the old Darlinghurst Goal and the Sydney art community is abuzz with the collective silence that surrounds the radical overhaul of one its major institutions.  It’s true that Jacques Delaruelle wrote a letter, at once eloquent and toothless, The Australian published a non-committal story basically reporting that Jacque had written a letter, and Vasili Kaliman tweeted a barbed good riddance.  Aside from that, there is an abiding silence and an almost complete lack of public dialogue around the forces playing themselves out at the Nat
