In the audio, Kazuko Chalker, one of the Japanese volunteer guides at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, talks about its Japanese language guided tour at the new building , which was constructed as part of Sydney Modern Project (SMP).

Ms Chalker also picked three artworks exhibited at the new building - Guts (Samara Golden), The End of Imagination (Adrián Villar Rojas), and Japan Supernatural (Takashi Murakami).

How long does the guided tour go? What does she think about those three artworks? Let's have a listen.

Kazuko Chalker

Ms Chalker joined AGNSW as a volunteer guide about ten years ago. She wasn't a keen gallery-goer back then, but she thought it would be a great opportunity for her to utilise her expertise in art.

Ms Chalker studied Art at the University of Sydney when she was in 60s. She graduated with honours. Ms Chalker creates artworks in various fields and had a solo exhibition in Sydney.

Japanese guide tours will be back this January.
