This special one-day event invites artists, scientists and the public to explore the environment with works, performances and talks that consider the miniature and microscopic. ‘Stories and Structures’ is an exhibition that draws parallels between the representations seen in many Indigenous works of art and the microscopic structures hidden in the natural world. Artist, Deborah Kelly’s deity-creatures will haunt the natural amphitheatre whereas Emily Hunt has created a microcosmic fantasy inspired by German Renaissance printmaking. Like the 16th century artists, Hunt uses grotesque and satirical images to critique contemporary notions of morality. Along the Shoalhaven River Anna Madeleine will transform inanimate rocks into an augmented reality artwork. All things ‘micro’ will be covered from another angle by a group of speakers including Zenobia Jacobs who will discuss dating geological and archaeological sites with a grain of sand. Andrew Holmes will open up about his freezer collection of poo and study of human gut microbiota, and Simon Mattsson, a farmer from north Queensland, shares how the awareness of soil microbiology and plant diversity can maintain soil health. A number of dance and performance works will criss-cross the landscape from Patrick Nolan with Dance North, to noir a site-responsive piece from ‘one step at a time like this’ (Suzanne Kersten, Clair Korobacz, Julian Rickert), who put you at the centre of an evolving experience through the night comprised of evocative audio-scapes crafted to place the audience in a dream- like, hyper-responsive state. bundanon.com.au French & Mottershead (Rebecca French and Andrew Mottershead), Woodland, Bristol Photograph: Paul Blakemore Courtesy the artists and Bundanon Trust, New South Wales 23 Desert Mob The annual ‘Desert Mob’ gathering of Desart-member art centres and their artists from remote communities in the Northern Territory, South Australia and Western Australia celebrates new innovations in contemporary Aboriginal arts practice, traditional and experimental works.

    Transport in the Cumberland Community Research Report June 2020 Document Set ID: 8005199 Version: 9, Version Date: 13/08/2020 Report prepared by the Social Research and Planning Team, Community and Place, Cumberland City Council 2020 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY Cumberland City Council acknowledges the Darug Nation and People as the traditional custodians of the land on which the Cumberland Local Government Area is situated and pays respect to Aboriginal Elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples as the First Peoples of Australia. Cumberland City Council also acknowledges other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples living and working in the Cumberland Local Government Area. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF PARTICIPANTS Cumberland City Council would like to acknowledge and thank everyone who participated in this research. This report would not have been possible without your time and willingness to share your stories and experiences. Document Set ID: 8005199 Version: 9, Version Date: 13/08/2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report presents findings from research into key transport and mobility challenges for the Cumberland community. This research was conducted between August 2019 and April 2020 and is grounded in empirical data sourced from the Australian Bureau of Statistics and Transport for NSW, amongst other sources, and extensive community engagement. Quality transport options are fundamental to accessing many essential services, education, employment and social and recreational activities. Although three train lines run through the Cumberland LGA, in addition to the T80 high frequency bus route, many Cumberland residents still have difficulties getting around. Major barriers raised by the community relate to reliability, frequency and coverage of services.

  • Executive Board Meeting 11 Aug 2009
    Executive Board Meeting 11 Aug 2009 Agenda item no. 9 Prepared by: Don McMichael, Membership Secretary Date: 7 August 2009 Topic: Membership Report 1. Recommendations 1.1 That the new members admitted by the Membership Secretary, listed in Attachment 1, be approved by the Board; 1.2 That the Board decide what course of action it wishes to follow in relation to new PIMA Board members; and 1.3 That the membership statistics in Attachment 2 be noted. 2. Background 2.1 Dr Joanna Wills did not seek re-election as Membership Secretary at the Annual General Meeting. Do Don McMichael was elected to this position. 2.2 Processing of membership applications and renewals, banking of subscriptions, issuing of receipts and dispatch of stickers to renewing members continues to be done efficiently by Office Manager Ms Lee Scott. Persons/Institutions applying for membership for the first time are referred to the Membership Secretary for approval before being invoiced. Upon payment of their subscription, a new member’s details are advised to ICOM headquarters, from where ICOM cards and current year stickers are issued. 2.3 Membership is down by about 70 from the 2008 total, but some additional renewals and new memberships are in process and more will probably come in during the next few months, especially as unfinancial or lapsed members plan their overseas travel for the summer. The numbers as at 31 July 2009 compared with the numbers at end 2008 are set out in the table at Attachment 2. 3. Issues 3.1 Because the ICOM Rules for National Committees require admissions to membership of ICOM to be approved by the Executive of the National Committee, the names and details of new members admitted by the Membership Secretary since the April 2009 are set out in Attachment 1.

  • THE DEALER IS the DEVIL at News Aboriginal Art Directory. View Information About the DEALER IS the DEVIL
    2014 » 02 » THE DEALER IS THE DEVIL Follow 4,786 followers The eye-catching cover for Adrian Newstead's book - the young dealer with Abie Jangala in Lajamanu Posted by Jeremy Eccles | 13.02.14 Author: Jeremy Eccles News source: Review Adrian Newstead is probably uniquely qualified to write a history of that contentious business, the market for Australian Aboriginal art. He may once have planned to be an agricultural scientist, but then he mutated into a craft shop owner, Aboriginal art and craft dealer, art auctioneer, writer, marketer, promoter and finally Indigenous art politician – his views sought frequently by the media. He's been around the scene since 1981 and says he held his first Tiwi craft exhibition at the gloriously named Coo-ee Emporium in 1982. He's met and argued with most of the players since then, having particularly strong relations with the Tiwi Islands, Lajamanu and one of the few inspiring Southern Aboriginal leaders, Guboo Ted Thomas from the Yuin lands south of Sydney. His heart is in the right place. And now he's found time over the past 7 years to write a 500 page tome with an alluring cover that introduces the writer as a young Indiana Jones blasting his way through deserts and forests to reach the Holy Grail of Indigenous culture as Warlpiri master Abie Jangala illuminates a canvas/story with his eloquent finger – just as the increasingly mythical Geoffrey Bardon (much to my surprise) is quoted as revealing, “Aboriginal art is derived more from touch than sight”, he's quoted as saying, “coming as it does from fingers making marks in the sand”.

  • Jasper Knight Cv
    JASPER KNIGHT BORN 1978 Sydney, Australia STUDIES 2002-2003 Master of Arts (majoring in painting + drawing) The College of Fine Arts, UNSW, Sydney 1997-1999 Bachelor of Visual Arts – electronic + temporal arts, Sydney College of the Arts,University of Sydney BACKGROUND Jasper’s work has blurred the boundaries between high art and amateur photography, between sculpture and painting. His works are often an assemblage of plywood, perspex, cardboard boxes, and old signs and are remanent of the found objects used in the Dada, Surrealist, Fluxus and Pop Art movements. However, Jasper has combined the industrial materials of his painting surface with traditional art methods, which provide a certain amount of texture and sculptural form while still having an important link to the subject. “My work has always straddled painting and the constructed object. In the past, my materials have added to the narrative content, or sometimes to the context, of the depicted scenes. My recent work has explored this relationship between material and subject, between constructed object and painted surface, in a more abstract way. The subject matter, from wharves to cars, from chairs to landscape, helps explore these binary concerns and is treated in a highly architectural and linear way.” His focus is often the busy waterway, machinery at work or the remnants of an old factory; painted in blocks of colour that drip and spill over his brightly coloured and shiny surfaces to give the illusion of movement within the landscape. Jasper has held successful exhibitions throughout Australia and in London, Berlin and Beijing. He has been a finalist in the Archibald, Wynne and Mosman Art prizes and is represented in corporate and private collections throughout Australia.
