• Dangerously Modern Ep 1: Margaret Preston

  In the early 20th century, an unprecedented wave of women artists  left a conservative Australia to pursue modern art in Europe.Margaret Preston is a household name in Australian art, best known for her bold paintings and woodcuts of native wildflowers. But to achieve this level of visibility she had to inhabit a bullet-proof confidence and find a sense of freedom, away from the strictures of a Victorian society. In episode 1, hear how she found freedom in an unlikely Irish rural setting, discovered modernism and, it’s speculated, pursued queer relationships.Produced and presented by Rosa Ellen and commissioned by the Art Gallery of South Australia.

• Primavera: Showcasing the next generation

  Every spring, the Museum of Contemporary Art hands its galleries to the next generation. Primavera becomes a testing ground: a place where young artists bend, stretch, and spark new ways of seeing.This year’s edition, curated by Tim Riley Walsh, circles around ideas of the made and the manufactured: how things are assembled, engineered, cobbled together, whether objects, identities, or whole worlds.Tim Riley Walsh and artist Keemon Williams join Micheal Do in his final episode as host for the year.

• Sisters Anney and Mechelle Bounpraseuth are making the ordinary shimmer

  Sisters Anney and Mechelle Bounpraseuth grew up in a world that promised paradise later. But they chose otherwise, leaving their religion to begin making paradise now!For Anney, cloth and sequins became radiant scenes of joy and survival. And for Mechelle, cans of lychees and jars of Tiger Balm, forged in clay, carry memory and care.Their work carries grief and humour, kitsch and devotion, and memories of Cabramatta markets, their mother's hands and the textures of Lao family life.

• Leigh Bowery: how a Melbourne boy became a myth

  Leigh Bowery was not a man you could overlook. Born in Sunshine, Melbourne, he left Suburbia for Soho, London, remaking himself into someone impossible to contain.At the club Taboo, he was ringmaster of chaos. For artist Lucian Freud, muse. For the queer underground, Leigh was revelation: proof that life itself could be spectacle, and spectacle survival.Tate Modern’s recent exhibition Leigh Bowery! brought his world back into focus, and the curator Fiontan Moran talks about Leigh’s legacy: how a Melbourne boy became a myth, and why he continues to matter today.

• How Artbank's subscription model works for collectors and for artists

  What would it mean to eat breakfast with a Brett Whiteley or to pass a Sally Gabori in the corridor? Art, not as something you visit, but something that visits you?That's the idea behind Artbank, a federal experiment that began in 1980 and now holds more than 11,000 works of Australian contemporary art.Works that circulate into offices, foyers, and living rooms; into the lives of people who might never have thought of themselves as collectors.Barry Keldoulis, Senior Art Consultant at Artbank, Ray Wilson, an Artbank client, and artist Monica Rani Rudhar, whose work is in the collection share their experiences with The Art Show.
