Penelope Seidler AM will join the Board of Directors of the Biennale of Sydney.

Seidler, who holds various leadership roles within business and the community, is a long-time supporter of the event, having visited every exhibition since the inaugural Biennale of Sydney in 1973.

“With her, she brings a deep passion for contemporary art and a broad working knowledge of both Australian and international arts organisations,” said Biennale Chairman Luca Belgiorno-Nettis.

Of her new appointment, Seidler said: “I am pleased to join the Board of this inspiring institution. I am excited to be working with an organisation that brings contemporary art – something I have been involved with for many years through our architectural practice – to the forefront of public awareness.”

The 18th Biennale of Sydney will run from 27 June – 16 September 2012.

Dipped in integrity: The profound depth of Aeron Chair’s extended palette

Aeron Chair’s new shades, Nightfall and Jasper, arrive with a sense of quiet cohesion – no bells and whistles, no loud technicolour; just two timeless, perfectly versatile near-neutrals. But the new hues aren’t just about colour – and their significance is much more profound than their surface-level subtlety might suggest.
