What happens when a famed collector and a maverick artist get in a fight?

German artist Thomas Demand has found an unlikely sparring partner in John Kaldor, the Australian art collector and patron. The duo have been intellectually tussling over the curation of The Object Lesson, the 38th Kaldor Public Art Project to be unveiled at the Art Gallery of New South Wales next week.
'He wanted to keep it quite eclectic,' says 89-year-old Kaldor, admitting to an amicable tension at times.

AFL boss Andrew Dillon addresses Snoop Dogg ‘double standard' after handing down Izak Rankine ban

AFL boss Andrew Dillon says Snoop Dogg will put on a 'family friendly' show at the grand final, after the league came under fire for apparent double standards this week. Adelaide Crows star Izak Rankine has copped a four-match ban for what the AFL said was a 'highly offensive homophobic slur' — which also happens to appear in a song from Snoop Dogg's prolific rap career. The situation hit the front pages of newspapers this week and was even informally raised by Adelaide during the AFL investigation. While Snoop was always going to stick to his hits at the MCG, Dillon opted to address the issue in a press conference on Thursday after announcing Rankine's ban. He backed the 53-year-old rapper during his prepared statement before taking questions. 'We cannot vouch for every lyric in every song ever written or performed by any artist who has or will appear on our stage, Australian or international,' Dillon said. 'But what I can say is our pre-match entertainment on grand final day will be family friendly and consistent with the audience at the MCG and those watching the broadcast. 'It is also important to remember that we have engaged Snoop Dogg in 2025 as the person he is today. 'He has spoken publicly about his past. 'He has changed, and today he's a grandfather, philanthropist, he helps rehabilitate youth and he's a global entertainer who has performed at both the Super Bowl and the Olympic closing ceremony to audiences of more than 100 million people. 'In those environments his performance was appropriate and well received, and his performance this year at our grand final will be fitting for the best sporting event in the country.'
