There are interesting parallels between contemporary art and family governance. At first glance, they may seem worlds apart. Yet on closer reflection, the connection becomes clear. Experiencing Dreschler: Stripes 7 (Inside Out) at Immersive Light and Art in Adelaide highlights how perspective, structure and movement interact—creating something that evolves depending on where the viewer stands. It is not fixed; it invites interpretation. The same can be said for succession done well. Strong governance isn't about rigid rules or preserving things exactly as they are. It is about creating the conditions for the next generation to engage, question and shape what comes next—with clarity and intent. Without that framework, even the most valuable “collections” can lose coherence over time. With it, families are better positioned to evolve—confidently, collaboratively and with purpose. Succession, like contemporary art, is never static. It is something to be engaged with, reinterpreted and ultimately carried forward.
