She was born in Belfast, graduated from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design in 2008 and now lives and works in Glasgow. Gault normally produces her work in response to a given space and context, bringing together objects and materials to form installations that are given a single title. Her work is borne out of significant periods of research, and recent areas of interest have included divining, archaeology, and theories around the ‘vessel’ as object. Work in The Usher Gallery: (Still Life) Your own rushing blood (1) metal, print on trace paper, paint, glazed ceramic, fizzy water, glass, wood, 2014 This work was made specifically for this space and can be seen as a physical manifestation of a still life – hoping to capture a 'slice of life' in the same way as many of the traditional paintings in the room. Gault's interest in still life comes from the 'missing element' in the work – the artist's hand - and the fact that what we see is the result of a series of decisions made by the artist. Usher Gallery Rehang 2014 Gault has used a scanner to create a tracing paper print of her composition including glass, fallen petals, water and gelatine. Many of these materials are seen in other works on show; however Gault is offering a view of the objects, from below on a transparent material, which is not normally possible. (Portrait) Your own rushing blood (2) glazed ceramic, laminated trace sheet, hair, 2014 Gault has approached the idea of portraiture in a non-traditional, deconstructive way. Her work includes clay casts of different parts of the artist's body – her thigh, finger, elbow, knee and hand. Alongside the ceramic works is a print, produced on a scanner with the image of strands of the artist's hair, presented on laminated tracing paper. The clay casts were fired in a kiln and glazed; Gault selected a metallic grey for the exterior and a watery blue for the interior creating a boundary between the inside and outside of the ceramics alluding to the boundary between the interior and exterior of our bodies. The printed and sculptural aspects of this work combine to create an abstract self portrait of Gault, giving aspects of her body in detail without allowing us the whole picture. Previous exhibitions include: 2013 Sweet ensilage, Tramway 5, TRAMWAY, Glasgow, 1st - 24 February Usher Gallery Rehang 2014 This was Gault's first exhibition in a public institution and presented the theme of 'agriculture as culture'. She borrowed four ensilage bales, fermenting grass used as cattle fodder, from a farm outside Glasgow which were returned after the exhibition to their original agricultural context. Gault drew on Temple Grandin's work in the treatment of autism and livestock management. Temple Grandin invented a machine called a 'squeeze box' or hug machine when she was just 18 as a way of calming hypersensitive and autistic people. Grandin was autistic herself and found that she sought out deep pressure stimulation but found being hugged or held by people over-stimulating and stressful. Grandin is celebrated for her revolutionary work in improving conditions for livestock before slaughter and based her machine on 'squeeze shoots' used on cattle, after she noticed the calming affect it produced. Gault's Sweet Ensilage created associations between Grandin's work and connected phenomena with motifs of binding, containment, pressure and clarification. 2014 When two or more are together - Glasgow International (with Lauren Currie in association with Spike Associates, curated by Spike Island) Usher Gallery Rehang 2014 In this recent group exhibition, Gault worked with the artist Lauren Printy Currie who is also exhibited in this rehang. Through When two or more are together, Gault and Currie invited members of Spike Associates to explore the nature of artistic collaboration. The result was a publication created through a long distance dialogue containing a collection of individually authored works and assemblages investigating the nature of collaboration. Usher Gallery Rehang 2014 Lauren Printy Currie About: Lauren Printy Currie is based at Glasgow Sculpture Studios and studied for her BA Hons Fine Art at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Arts, University of Dundee. She is the co-founder and director of the duchy, a gallery space in Glasgow from 2009 - 2013. Printy Currie makes sculptural objects that explore the physicality of experience and perception. She purposely uses unpredictable casting and relief processes and assembles layers of material and colour into groups in order to emphasis the tactile quality of the individual elements. Work in The Usher Gallery: (Portrait) undoing dark green, twisting to right steel, inkjet print on Somerset silk paper, inkjet print on crepe de chine, plaster, 2014 This piece is an abstract work alluding to the figure and inspired by other paintings in the room. The title itself references Charles Haslewood Shannon's work Atalanta (1893) which is displayed nearby. 'Undoing dark green, twisting to right' was a written description of Shannon's work from the Usher Collection database which describes the content of the image and the action of the sitter. The prints on the ground and rolled within the steel frame connected to the wall are abstract prints of Ronald Ossory Dunlop's Portrait of a Woman where Printy Currie has enlarged the gestural brushstrokes and flipped and repeated sections. Usher Gallery Rehang 2014 The plaster element on the ground resembles the profile of the sitter in William Tom Warrener's work. The digitally printed fabric resting on top takes its pattern from the ruff of Maria van Wassenaer Hanecops in the portrait by Michiel Jansz van Mierevelt. Printy Currie references several paintings, within a range of artistic styles, exploring the multi- faceted nature of identity. Previous exhibitions include: 2013 Space is not a void, The Royal Standard, Liverpool (with Laura Aldridge and Emily Musgrave) Space is not a void, uses contemporary collage and sculptural assemblages to explore the phenomenology of space. Phenomenology is the study of structures of consciousness as experienced from the first-person point of view, essentially subjective experience. This exhibition used practices with a strong sense of materiality, forcing the view to consider and question their surrounding environment. Found objects, colour and texture represent permanence and perception in the works. Usher Gallery Rehang 2014 Stephanie Mann About: Stephanie Mann graduated the MFA in Contemporary Art Practice at Edinburgh College of Art in 2013. Since then she was awarded the John Kinross Travel scholarship and undertook a period of development in Florence, Italy. She worked on a short film commissioned by the BBC in Japan, as part of the Edinburgh International Art Festival and recently had solo exhibitions in both Summerhall and in the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art. Mann's abstract compositions elude categorisation and are open to multiple readings. Work in The Usher Gallery: (Still Life) The White Ring digital prints, video and wall painting, 2012 Film one - Sand Hands Print one / Print one - Still Life with Flemming Cherries / Print two - Still Life with Pastry / Film two - Still Life on Face Stephanie Mann presents her version of still life through video to challenge the idea of still life as something static. Still Life on Face creates a precarious composition balanced on, and often falling off, the artist's face. Still Life with Fleming Cherries and Still Life with Pastries are the two photographic works alluding to the process of capturing an image. Each shows a composition of natural and man-made objects next to a painting of the same objects.

  • It Is Time for Virginia Woolf
    TREBALL DE FI DE GRAU Tutor/a: Dra. Ana Moya Gutierrez Grau de: Estudis Anglesos IT IS TIME FOR VIRGINIA WOOLF Ane Iñigo Barricarte Universitat de Barcelona Curso 2018/2019, G2 Barclona, 11 June 2019 ABSTRACT This paper explores the issue of time in two of Virginia Woolf’s novels; Mrs Dalloway and To the Lighthouse. The study will not only consider how the theme is presented in the novels but also in their filmic adaptations, including The Hours, a novel written by Michael Cunningham and film directed by Stephen Daldry. Time covers several different dimensions visible in both novels; physical, mental, historical, biological, etc., which will be more or less relevant in each of the novels and which, simultaneously, serve as a central point to many other themes such as gender, identity or death, among others. The aim of this paper, beyond the exploration of these dimensions and the connection with other themes, is to come to a general and comparative conclusion about time in Virginia Woolf. Key Words: Virginia Woolf, time, adaptations, subjective, objective. Este trabajo consiste en una exploración del tema del tiempo en dos de las novelas de Virginia Woolf; La Señora Dalloway y Al Faro. Dicho estudio, no solo tendrá en cuenta como se presenta el tema en las novelas, sino también en la adaptación cinematográfica de cada una de ellas, teniendo también en cuenta Las Horas, novela escrita por Michael Cunningham y película dirigida por Stephen Daldry. El tiempo posee diversas dimensiones visibles en ambos trabajos; física, mental, histórica, biológica, etc., que cobrarán mayor o menor importancia en cada una de las novelas y que, a su vez, sirven de puntos de unión para otros muchos temas como pueden ser el género, la identidad o la muerte entre otros.

His death in that conflict meant that this was a career that lasted barely twenty years; however it comprised a large range of creative endeavours. Although all these facets of Whistler’s career are touched upon, the main focus is on his work in murals and the fields of advertising and commercial design. The thesis goes beyond the remit of a purely biographical stance and places Whistler’s career in context by looking at the contemporary art world in which he worked, and the private, commercial and public commissions he secured. In doing so, it aims to provide a more comprehensive account of Whistler’s achievement than has been afforded in any of the existing literature or biographies. This deeper examination of the artist’s practice has been made possible by considerable amounts of new factual information derived from the Whistler Archive and other archival sources.

  • Elements of Innovators' Fame
    Elements of Innovators’ Fame: Social Structure, Identity and Creativity Mitali Banerjee Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Columbia University 2017 © 2017 Mitali Banerjee All rights reserved Abstract Elements of Innovators’ Fame: Social Structure, Identity and Creativity Mitali Banerjee What makes an innovator famous? This is the principal question of this dissertation. I examine three potential drivers of the innovators’ fame – their social structure, creativity and identity. My empirical context is the early 20th century abstract artists in 1910-25. The period represents a paradigmatic shift in the history of modern art, the emergence of the abstract art movement. In chapter 2, I operationalize social structure by an innovator’s local peer network. I find that an innovator with structurally and compositionally diverse local network is likely to be more famous than the one with a homogenous local network. I find no statistical evidence for creativity as a link between social structure and fame. Instead, the evidence suggests that an innovator’s creative identity and access to promotional opportunities are the key drivers of her fame. In Chapter 3, I find that the creativity identity resulting from an innovator’s creative trajectory can lead to obscurity despite early fame and acclaim. The drastic change in the nature of a producer’s output can dilute her identity and cost her her niche. In combination with her peer network characteristics, these dynamics can mean obscurity even for talented and prolific innovators. In chapter 4, I undertake a large-scale analysis of the relationship between creativity and fame.

  • South East England & the Bloomsbury Group July 10-18
    South East England & The Bloomsbury Group July 10-18, 2021 In the early part of the 20th century a group of writers, intellectuals, philosophers and artists who lived and worked in Bloomsbury were perhaps best known for their liberal views on politics and social conventions as well as their infamous love triangles. Luminaries including Virginia Woolf, John Maynard Keynes, Vanessa Bell, Duncan Grant, E. M. Forster and Lytton Strachey also undertook an experimental attitude to ways they decorated their homes, resulting in highly original and inspired designs. We uncover the finest examples of their work as we visit the houses where they lived and loved. Saturday, July 10: Arrival On arrival at Heathrow airport, a private transfer will take you to our overnight hotel, the Castle Hotel Windsor – MGallery. In the evening, join the group for a welcome drink, followed by dinner. (D) Sunday, July 11: Knole House and Standen After breakfast, we check out of our hotel and journey to visit Knole House in Kent where we enjoy a guided tour*. One of Britain’s most important and complete historic homes, the property is now cared for by the National Trust and here we can discover more about its colorful past. Knole House was home to the Sackville family for 400 years, including novelist Vita Sackville-West who used the house as inspiration for her novel The Edwardians. Next we visit Standen, a fine Arts and Crafts property, which combines the skills of architect Philip Webb and his friend William Morris. The light, airy rooms are decorated with Morris’ wallpapers and textiles with William de Morgan pottery.

  • ANSWERS to QUESTIONS on NOTICE Prime Minister and Cabinet Portfolio Office of the Official Secretary to the Governor-General
    Senate Finance and Public Administration Legislation Committee 2005-06 Supplementary Budget Hearings ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS ON NOTICE Prime Minister and Cabinet Portfolio Office of the Official Secretary to the Governor-General QUESTION: PM1 Senator Crossin asked: “..How many times this year has a government member represented the Governor- General and given a message on his behalf?” QUESTION: PM2 Senator Crossin asked: “… At Uluru—Ayers Rock. It was the 20th anniversary of the hand back. You probably do not have the answer with you but can you take on notice who invited the Governor-General to that?” QUESTION: PM3 Senator Crossin asked: “…Can you also please take on notice for me whom his message was given to and why?” QUESTION: PM4 Senator Crossin asked: “In an instance where the Governor-General cannot attend, is there any protocol that suggests that the message should be given to the House of Representatives member to read out rather than to some other member of parliament? …. Could you have a look at that, please, and answer this question: if the government is the body issuing the invitation and the Governor-General is unable to go, is it custom and practice that the local House of Representatives member reads the Governor-General’s message rather than anybody else?” Response: The response to Senator Crossin’s questions PM1 to PM4 is set out below. There is no written protocol or guideline for how the Governor-General is to be represented at an event or function that he is unable to attend. Messages are not sent to the Governor or Administrator of a State or Territory unless it was they who had invited the Governor-General.

  • European Influences in the Fine Arts: Melbourne 1940-1960
    INTERSECTING CULTURES European Influences in the Fine Arts: Melbourne 1940-1960 Sheridan Palmer Bull Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree ofDoctor ofPhilosophy December 2004 School of Art History, Cinema, Classics and Archaeology and The Australian Centre The University ofMelbourne Produced on acid-free paper. Abstract The development of modern European scholarship and art, more marked.in Austria and Germany, had produced by the early part of the twentieth century challenging innovations in art and the principles of art historical scholarship. Art history, in its quest to explicate the connections between art and mind, time and place, became a discipline that combined or connected various fields of enquiry to other historical moments. Hitler's accession to power in 1933 resulted in a major diaspora of Europeans, mostly German Jews, and one of the most critical dispersions of intellectuals ever recorded. Their relocation to many western countries, including Australia, resulted in major intellectual and cultural developments within those societies. By investigating selected case studies, this research illuminates the important contributions made by these individuals to the academic and cultural studies in Melbourne. Dr Ursula Hoff, a German art scholar, exiled from Hamburg, arrived in Melbourne via London in December 1939. After a brief period as a secretary at the Women's College at the University of Melbourne, she became the first qualified art historian to work within an Australian state gallery as well as one of the foundation lecturers at the School of Fine Arts at the University of Melbourne. While her legacy at the National Gallery of Victoria rests mostly on an internationally recognised Department of Prints and Drawings, her concern and dedication extended to the Gallery as a whole.

  • A Comparative Analysis of Artist Prints and Print Collecting at the Imperial War Museum and Australian War M
    Bold Impressions: A Comparative Analysis of Artist Prints and Print Collecting at the Imperial War Museum and Australian War Memorial Alexandra Fae Walton A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the Australian National University, June 2017. © Copyright by Alexandra Fae Walton, 2017 DECLARATION PAGE I declare that this thesis has been composed solely by myself and that it has not been submitted, in whole or in part, in any previous application for a degree. Except where stated otherwise by reference or acknowledgement, the work presented is entirely my own. Acknowledgements I was inspired to write about the two print collections while working in the Art Section at the Australian War Memorial. The many striking and varied prints in that collection made me wonder about their place in that museum – it being such a special yet conservative institution in the minds of many Australians. The prints themselves always sustained my interest in the topic, but I was also fortunate to have guidance and assistance from a number of people during my research, and to make new friends. Firstly, I would like to say thank you to my supervisors: Dr Peter Londey who gave such helpful advice on all my chapters, and who saw me through the final year of the PhD; Dr Kylie Message who guided and supported me for the bulk of the project; Dr Caroline Turner who gave excellent feedback on chapters and my final oral presentation; and also Dr Sarah Scott and Roger Butler who gave good advice from a prints perspective. Thank you to Professor Joan Beaumont, Professor Helen Ennis and Professor Diane Davis from the Australian National University (ANU) for making the time to discuss my thesis with me, and for their advice.
