The installation of Jonathan
Jones' barrangal dyara (skin and bones) is nearing completion on site at The Royal Botanic Garden, Sydney.
As we eagerly await the work's completion, we take a look back at the almost equally rapid, hugely ambitious process of building the Garden Palace over seven months in 1879.

This week we take a look back at
one of Anri Sala’s earliest works, a video titled Intervista (Finding the Words), 1998, which Sala developed as an art student in Paris. 
This year all eyes are on Athens in the wake of Documenta14, a five yearly
exhibition of contemporary art that this year made its debut in Greece. Lately associated with Europe's financial crisis, Greece has emerged as a hub
of creative activity and progressive thought: fertile ground for artists to interrogate and discuss Europe's social and political future.
