‘Good, bad or otherwise, when you have an institution of scale with a lot of resources and momentum, it will create its own gravity,’ said Tricky Walsh, artist and founder of New Norfolk Gallery Haus of Vovo, regarding Hobart’s soon-to-open winter festival, Dark Mofo.
‘I think initially [Dark Mofo] was something which drew a lot of people down here who didn’t necessarily end up venturing far outside the program. That’s obviously been changing over the years, with a lot of galleries here either becoming part of the program or certainly coinciding with it,’ Walsh said.
