Shermans show AGNSW how to Go East
Many of these works have not been seen in Australia before; more importantly, through this exhibition, they push contemporary Asian art to the fore at the AGNSW.
Michael Brand, Director of the Gallery said: ‘We need partners, and we need intelligent and generous partners, and we certainly have that with the Shermans!
‘An important part of this exhibition is this collaboration between a major public institution and a small private foundation. This is something that has not been done many times in Australia, and it’s an important way of the future. By working together we can share much, much more with the public than trying to do it ourselves,’ said Brand.
Extending that spirit of sharing, the Shermans have gifted two major installation-based works to the Gallery: Jitish Kallat’s Public Notice II (2007) and Yang Zhichao’s Chinese Bible (2009). Both artists were in Sydney for the exhibition’s launch yesterday.
Kallat’s work (pictured above) commands the entrance court of the Gallery with a saffron-backed alphabet of bones that spell out Mahatma Gandhi’s seminal Salt March speech of 1930, testament to all social justice movements and human rights. It is a huge work in scale, b

Abstract
Metal ions play a very important role in environmental as well as biological fields. The detection of specific metal ions at a minute level caught much attention, and hence, several probes are available in the literature. Even though benzothiazole-based molecules have a special place in the medicinal field, only very few chemosensors are reported based on this moiety. The current work describes the design and synthesis of the benzothiazole-based chemosensor for a highly selective and sensitive detection of biologically important metal ions such as Zn2+, Cu2+, and Ni2+. The sensing studies of compound-1 showed a ratiometric as well as colorimetric response toward Zn2+, Cu2+, and Ni2+ ions and color changes from colorless to yellow and is found to be insensitive toward various metal ions (Cd2+, Cr3+, Mn2+, Pb2+, Ba2+, Al3+, Ca2+, Fe2+, Fe3+, Mg2+, K+, and Na+). Further, compound-1 exhibited ratiometric as well as turn-on-enhanced fluorescence response toward Zn2+ ions and turn off response for Cu2+ and Ni2+ ions. The Job plots revealed that the binding stoichiometry of compound-1 and metal ions is 2:1. The detection limits were found to be 0.25 ppm for Zn2+, while it was 0.30 ppm and 0.34 ppm for Ni2+ and Cu2+
