The 2010 Salek Minc lecture will be presented by Michael Rush, former Director of the Rose Art Museum, Brandeis University, Boston, Massachusetts.
Dr Rush will discuss the central role of the university art museum within the cultural and intellectual life of the university and wider public. He will also examine the responsibilities of museums and galleries as the custodians of our cultural heritage, in light of Brandeis University’s controversial decision to sell of its extremely valuable and important collection of contemporary art.
Salek Minc (1905-1983), for whom the lecture series is named, was a prominent Perth doctor, collector and supporter of the visual arts and the UWA Art Collection. The 2010 Salek Minc lecture is sponsored by the Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery, the UWA Cultural Precinct and the Institute of Advanced Studies.
The lecture is free and open to the public. Please RSVP by Monday 1 March to 08 6488 3707 or email
