The complementary shop set up by the Museum broke all previous sales records for Museum exhibition shops. AND SCIENCES MUSEUM OF APPLIED ARTS The national prize in the Eureka Science Awards for the promotion of Science was won by the ‘Science in the pub’ team, which includes Museum staff. 1 A first for the Museum-managed Australian Museums On Line was the publication online of the Open Museum Journal, which features scholarly and applied research on museums and is the only peer reviewed journal of its type anywhere in the world.

  • Thesis Title
    Creating a Scene: The Role of Artists’ Groups in the Development of Brisbane’s Art World 1940-1970 Judith Rhylle Hamilton Bachelor of Arts (Hons) University of Queensland Bachelor of Education (Arts and Crafts) Melbourne State College A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2014 School of English, Media Studies and Art History ii Abstract This study offers an analysis of Brisbane‘s art world through the lens of artists‘ groups operating in the city between 1940 and 1970. It argues that in the absence of more extensive or well-developed art institutions, artists‘ groups played a crucial role in the growth of Brisbane‘s art world. Rather than focusing on an examination of ideas about art or assuming the inherently ‗philistine‘ and ‗provincial‘ nature of Brisbane‘s art world, the thesis examines the nature of the city‘s main art institutions, including facilities for art education, the art market, conservation and collection of art, and writing about art. Compared to the larger Australian cities, these dimensions of the art world remained relatively underdeveloped in Brisbane, and it is in this context that groups such as the Royal Queensland Art Society, the Half Dozen Group of Artists, the Younger Artists‘ Group, Miya Studios, St Mary‘s Studio, and the Contemporary Art Society Queensland Branch provided critical forms of institutional support for artists. Brisbane‘s art world began to take shape in 1887 when the Queensland Art Society was founded, and in 1940, as the Royal Queensland Art Society, it was still providing guidance for a small art world struggling to define itself within the wider network of Australian art.

Through a combination of creative practice and exegesis, I consider how experiential knowledge, amassed over time by observing, replicating and doing, built a visual, cognitive and sensual vocabulary that has become embodied into a visceral form of making: a form of making and awareness that entered Australian ceramic studio practice from China, Japan, Korea and Britain primarily during the 1940s–1960s.

  • Art Training in Brisbane to 1991
    Chapter 2 Those who started, those who stayed, those who departed, those who strayed: Art training in Brisbane to 1991 Glenn R. Cooke Preamble Throughout the second half of the twentieth century the higher education sector in Australia went through a series of reorganisations culminating in the Dawkins Report 1988 which recommended that the various technical colleges, teachers’ colleges and colleges of advanced education be incorporated into a system of multi-campus universities. Negotiations were put underway so that on 1 July 1991 the Queensland Conservatorium of Music amalgamated with Griffith University. The art, craft and design courses and students of the Queensland College of Art, from Associate Diploma level on, also joined Griffith University and on 1 January 1992 an independent history of 110 years was brought to a close. The history of the college over this time also reflected a series of restructures to mirror perceived educational needs and the political agendas of Queensland governments. The Brisbane School of Arts was founded in 1881 and incorporated into the Brisbane Technical College in 1884. As a result of the Technical Instruction Act of 1908, the suburban technical colleges at South Brisbane and West End were merged with Brisbane to form the Central Art training in Brisbane to 1991 Glenn R. Cooke Technical College (CTC) in 1909. When the Queensland Institute of Technology was established in 1965 on the same site, the CTC and its Art Branch retained their independence. In 1972 the Art Branch separated from the CTC to become the College of Art (CoA) which, two years later moved from George Street to purpose- built premises shared with the Seven Hills TAFE and was formally renamed the Queensland College of Art (QCA) in 1982.

For godson Tim 4 Introduction Sugar was dying: late at night I was sitting close alongside her basket just touching her with my hand. Every now and then she lifted herself, our eyes meeting briefly before she rested her head back on the woven cane edge. I had sat with dying dogs before and the immeasurable sadness was that you can’t tell them what you feel. The only thing you can hope for is that, in some transcendent way, you are able to transmit some comforting thought: not only your feeling of deep love but also your humble gratefulness for the privilege of sharing their much too short life. That night I was sharing in her ‘end.’ Sugar fought to the very last. She badly, very badly, didn’t want to let go of her life—unless, of course, I went with her. She had several illnesses which had made her life a little miserable and for the last month she had come into my bedroom at night, for reassurance mainly, because she knew things weren’t right. She had a collapsed larynx, much worse in winter, but a syringe-full of a linctus gently squirted into her mouth several times a day helped.
