APPENDIX 1 Inmate Profile
APPENDIX 1 Inmate profile In October 1858, the LBS, along with the Launceston Municipal Council and prominent' Launcestonians, headed a petition protesting the deplorable situation facing the north's indigent poor.' This petition encapsulated a middle class view of the invalid crisis. The document exposed a perception held that invalids belonged to a specifically identifiable group made up of individuals of both sexes who had originally been transported as c~nvicts.~ They were a lingering reminder of Tasmania's convict past, a dross that refused to disappear. What distinguished these individuals from other emancipists was their physical condition. They were the 'diseased, aged, blind, incapable, and destitute'? If an understanding is to be gained of who the invalids were, and of the circumstances of those who found themselves in their old age and infirmity readmitted to institutional space, it is important to obtain an inmate profile. This appendix examines the typical attributes of invalid inmates. While both males and females found themselves in distress in their latter years, the typical inmate of a colonial Tasmanian charitable institution was male, unmarried (or if a female then widowed), aged at least 55 years but more likely to be aged closer to 70 than 60. In addition to being old they almost certainly suffered from an age related illness, such as dementia, rheumatism or chronic ulcers. They would have been born in Britain or Ireland, and have arrived in Tasmania as a transported convict. While they ' AOT: CSD 1/132/4836, Petition from the inhabitants of Launceston and its vicinity to Sir Henry Young, Governor of Tasmania. -
No Song to Sing
c/ Enrique Granados, 49, SP. 08008 Barcelona T. (+34) 93 451 0064, [email protected] http://www.adngaleria.com No song to sing A project curated by David Armengol and Martí Manen ADN Platform. November 2015 – April 2016 Johanna Billing / Bradien + Eduard Escoffet / Lucía C. Pino / Carles Congost / Laia Estruch / Antoni Hervàs / Pepo Salazar / Tris Vonna-Michell / Richard T. Walker / Franziska Windisch Carles Congost, Mystical Drummer, 2013 The point of departure for No Song to Sing starts with two songs belonging to pop culture: a homonymous theme composed by the English musician Michael Chapman for Rainwater (1969), his first album; and one of Stevie Wonder’s most celebrated hits, I Just Called to Say I Love You (1984). In both cases, the songs opposing relation between absence and presence produces a conceptual ambiguity that relates, in a poetic way, with the sound productions of contemporary art. Initially, a big table equipped with several listening devices makes the audio pieces available to the user. This allows us to recreate and assume some domestic musical consumption habits: a record player, a CD player, a computer and headphones. Then, each of the sound proposals expands into other special and visual productions. In some situations, they are closely related to the pieces on the table; at others, however, all linkage gets severed in order to show new work sensitive to sound and adapted to art exhibition practices. Orfeo y la Montaña Sumergida [Orpheus and the Sunken Mountain] (2014) is a project by Antoni Hervàs (Barcelona, 1981) which is dedicated to one of his fetish subjects: the reenactment of the mermaid myth through performance and the staging power of drawing. -
