  • 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.

  • Museum of Brisbane Occupies a Unique Rooftop Vantage Point Atop the City’S Most Significant Heritage Building, Brisbane City Hall
    Applicant Information Description of Facilities 2 2014/2015 Annual Report 3 Exhibition Report Example William Bustard: Painting with Light 31 DESCRIPTION OF FACILITIES Museum of Brisbane occupies a unique rooftop vantage point atop the city’s most significant heritage building, Brisbane City Hall. Completed during the building’s 2009-2012 restoration, this custom built 1800 square metre museum space opened in 2013. A mixture of galleries and public spaces wrap around the building’s copper dome creating a contemporary environment that maximises the heritage appeal of its location. From the Museum’s reception accessible via two lifts from the ground floor of City Hall, visitors can take a trip up the iconic Clock Tower (in Australia’s oldest manually operated cage lift) or browse the Museum shop which specialises in locally sourced artisanal objects and merchandise inspired by the Museum collections and exhibitions. A small cloakroom is also available for Museum visitors. The Museum’s maintains an optimal museum standard environment throughout its gallery spaces with a contemporary VESDA system and LED lighting system. Display spaces include 2 major galleries (Gallery 1 and 2 - 300 square metres each) and 5 small gallery spaces ranging between 80 – 90 square metres. Currently Gallery 2 and two of the smaller galleries have been merged to accommodate the Museum’s new semi-permanent exhibition 100% Brisbane.

  • The City As Archive: Mapping David Malouf's Brisbane
    The city as archive: Mapping David Malouf’s Brisbane Roger Osborne [email protected] Abstract In this article, I reflect on my creation of a digital map that plots locations from David Malouf’s fiction and non-fiction. I consider the vestiges of David Malouf’s past — particularly his grandparents’ fruit shop and its relationship to his spiritual home at 12 Edmondstone Street — and I demonstrate how Malouf’s words leave traces of his experience at these locations. Recognition of these traces requires alertness to the ways in which the past is communicated through historical registers, maps and literature. Our recognition is enhanced through a deliberate evocation of the past in our own experience of the city. My map, ‘David Malouf’s Brisbane’, helps this to occur. I started plotting locations from David Malouf’s fiction and non-fiction in 2010 (see Osborne 2015). The digital map that grew from this solitary activity subsequently attracted broader attention in 2014 when it was included in the David Malouf and Friends exhibition at the Museum of Brisbane. Like many Queenslanders who had read Malouf, his evocation of the 1940s cast for me a new light on the streets, homes and businesses located along the slow curl of the Brisbane River. I started walking the streets named in Johnno, Harland’s Half Acre and ‘12 Edmondstone Street’ to see how this light fell on the routes taken by the characters and the buildings they visited. I soon found that these routes can still be followed, but the buildings that line them are forever altered by renovation, demolition and rebuilding.
