Planning Under Way for ‘First of the Friends’ Exhibition Gloria Goddard has accepted the position of convenor for the First of the Friends exhibition to be held in Adelaide in September this year. Artists, students, former teachers, lecturers and current staff of SASA who are members of Friends are invited to exibit in the exhibition, to be held from 7 September - 2 October in the Kerry Packer Civic Gallery, Hawke Building, City West Campus of UniSA. The official opening will take place at 5.30pm on Monday 7th September. Gloria Goddard was born in South Australia and educated as an art teacher at the University of Adelaide, Adelaide Teachers College and the South Australian School of Art from 1960 to 1972. She taught art in secondary schools for 15 years before becoming a lecturer at North Adelaide School of Art, where she lectured in painting, design, concept development and fibre construction. She lectured at O’Halloran Hill TAFE and was guest lecturer at Sturt CAE until 1981. She has travelled widely overseas and throughout Australia, and has exhibited her work in solo and mixed exhibitions with several awards and commissions. Her work is in numerous galleries, and she has more recently been on the selection committee for TARTS. Gloria will be supported by an experienced group of member artists - Brian Budgen, Yvonne East, Helen Stacey, Toni Corso and Rob Johnston. We are fortunate in having the beautiful Civic Gallery as our venue for the exhibition, and we look forward to members’ participation towards making this ‘First of the Friends’ a great showing. The event will be supported by The Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Centre, and proudly sponsored by Michael Scarpantoni of Scarpantoni Estate Wines.

These nine women and two men are beneficiaries of Gordon Samstag’s vision to level the playing field for Australian artists, whom he knew to be as good as their international peers, but restricted unreasonably by geographic isolation. Consequently, this third group of Samstag Scholars will soon be embarking on lengthy and enviable creative adventures in New York, Utrecht, London, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Glasgow and Dundee. Following the good news of their award, the preparations which “Samstagers” must make to secure their overseas study opportunity are, invariably, complex and taxing. For example, while under no obligation to enrol in formal degree courses, their project must nevertheless demonstrate a full commitment to studio practice under the bona fides of an appropriate institution. Negotiations for acceptance into a preferred institution can be arduous and slow. While concerned primarily with artistic development and enrichment, the Samstag experience is thus distinguished also by endeavour and Matthÿs GERBER self-reliance. Moreover, when confronted L'Origine du Monde #1 1992 oil on canvas directly by the formidable dimensions 200 x 300 of international contemporary art, scholarship recipients may discover, beneficially, that their own indigenous artistic character is distinct and viable.

  • 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.

    RAAF’s 90th Birthday The Royal Australian Air Force marked its 90th birthday with an annual commemorative service in Canberra and the addition of Battle Honours to the RAAF Memorial while there was a display of historic planes at the service's birthplace in Victoria. The Chief of Air Force, Air Marshal Mark Binskin AO used his address as an opportunity to re- member those that gave their lives in service to Australia over the last 90 years. The RAAF was formed on March 31, 1921, with Point Cook its sole base. "We have aeroplanes that date back to the 1930s," Air Commodore Ron Luke said at Point Cook. "When you look at the difference in technology between those aircraft and what we're operating today with Super Hornets and C-17 transports, it's really quite amazing”. The general public gathered to see the Roulette acrobat team perform and more than 60 aeroplanes, including Spitfires and Mustangs and Hudson bombers, 1930s vintage airliners, DC- 3s, plus an assortment of other aero- planes. While this was happening F/A-18 jets Air Marshal Mark Binskin AO lays a wreath at flew over Canberra, as people gathered the Canberra Ceremony at Anzac Parade to mark the anniver- sary. More squadrons have been formally added to the RAAF memorial, recognising those who served in the Philippines in 1944, the Malayan Peninsular and Ubon Thailand in the 1960s, and more recently East Timor and Iraq. Retired RAAF Squadron Leader Denis Macneall said he has fond memo- ries as a member of 75 Squadron in Malaysia.

  • 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.
