Something is going on with Agnes Wales.  Is it possible that the current board of trustees of the Art Gallery of NSW (AGNSW) is quietly applying the oppressive and divisive  agenda of post-modernism to the Archibald, Wynne and possibly Sulman prizes if not the whole institution? When they select an artist’s work to hang, do they first consider the gender, ethnicity, sexual or political orientation or God forbid, the age of an artist, before deciding?

If you enter the prizes, exclusion is always a possibility, it always has been.
