  • Report – Valuing the Queensland Museum
    "People rightly ask what is the contribution made to the lives of Queenslanders by our cultural organisations. The Queensland Museum and cultural organisations in general must be prepared to respond in an informed way. This is especially true in challenging economic times as the Museum plans the next developments on its campuses throughout the State. Valuing the Queensland Museum: A Contingency Valuation Study provides a new way of assessing the public value of the Queensland Museum. The Study presents evidence of this ongoing value in economic terms, based on sound, well-established survey and analysis techniques. The findings are comprehensive and provide a clear picture of the Museum's importance to its various stakeholders state-wide. This is the first time a cultural organisation in Australia has conducted such a study and it provides a model that might usefully be an exemplar for other organisations. I congratulate all those involved in the Study, both for the rigour of the research and analysis process and for the clarity of the reported outcomes. I commend the Study to our many supporters and friends. These are very exciting times for our Museum. Peter Swannell AM, Chair Board of the Queensland Museum The Queensland Museum wishes to thank Gillian Savage and Dr Rob Hall from Environmentrics and Professor David Throsby from Macquarie University for their support in developing and implementing this CVM Study of the Queensland Museum. As well the Museum expresses it’s thanks to McNair Ingenuity Research for conducting the actual web-based survey. 1 Valuing the Queensland Museum: A Contingent Valuation Study 2008 Report prepared by Deborah Tranter April 2009 On behalf of the Steering Committee: Deborah Tranter Director, Cobb+Co Museum and Regional Services Sarah Perrott Manager- Corporate Communications and Marketing Stephanie Tickle Project Manager, Corporate Services and Business Development 2 3 CONTENTS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY................................................................................................

    CURATING THE CITY: UNPACKING CONTEMPORARY ART PRODUCTION AND SPATIAL POLITICS IN BRISBANE Louise Rollman BA (Visual Arts) (Hons), Queensland University of Technology Principal Supervisor: Professor Andrew McNamara Associate Supervisors: Dr Emma Felton External Associate Supervisor: Dr Gretchen Coombs Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Visual Arts, Faculty of Creative Industries Queensland University of Technology 2018 Keywords Contemporary art; public art; commissioning for the public realm; curatorial practice; Henri Lefebvre, the right to the city and the right to imagine the city; arts policy infrastructure and institutionalization; cultural history. Curating the City: unpacking contemporary art production and spatial politics in Brisbane i Abstract Contemporary art and exhibition-making is increasingly deployed in the urban development and marketing of cities for political-economic benefit, yet the examination of the aesthetic and cultural aspects of urban life is curiously limited. In probing the unique political conditions of Brisbane, Australia, this thesis contrasts two periods — 1985-1988 and 2012-2015 — in order to more fully understand the critical pressures impacting upon the production of contemporary aesthetic projects. While drawing upon Henri Lefebvre's right to the city, and insisting upon a right to imagine the city, this thesis concludes that a consistent re-articulation of critical pressure, which anticipates oppositional positions, is necessary.
