Organ University of Wollongong, [email protected] Publication Details Organ, M. 2016, 'The eY llow House revisited', Aquarius Redux: Rethinking Architecture's Counterculture Conference, pp. 1-31. Research Online is the open access institutional repository for the University of Wollongong. For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] The elY low House revisited Abstract Martin Sharp's Yellow House represents a transitional phase in the countercultural movement within Australia, from the peace and love Utopian ideals of the Sixties through to the disenchantment and technological changes of the Seventies. Inspired by Vincent Van Gogh's similarly titled building and aborted artist community in the south of France during the 1880s, and the British Arts Lab movement of the late 1960s, a 3-storey Victorian era terrace building in Sydney was transformed into a work of art, living museum, experimental art gallery and performance space, under the liberating and libertine guidance of Martin Sharp - an artist who had experienced some of the extraordinary cultural changes taking place in London and Europe between 1966-69. The eY llow House was a unique expression of the counterculture's disparate elements through a redundant example of the built environment, namely a former art gallery and guest house facing the threat of demolition. Art and architecture fused with lifestyle and culture within a veritable rabbit warren of rooms and performance spaces. Though innately ephemeral, the venture succeeded, during its relatively short period of existence between May 1970 and March 1973, in providing an expressive outlet for a disparate group of counterculture artists, performers and commentators.

  • Exhibition Evangelism & the Local Church: Reaching People in Festivals and Markets Philip Johnson CEO, Global Apologetics & Mission Ltd
    exhibition evangelism & the local church: Reaching people in festivals and markets Philip Johnson CEO, Global Apologetics & Mission Ltd. ne of the emerging challenges for Australian Christians and their local congregations is finding effective ways to make contact with non-Christians who are deeply interested in spirituality.The last two decades of the twentieth century witnessed a massive shift in Australia away from indifference or reticence about spiritual matters towards open and overt discussion.The Osignposts for this can be seen in books, magazines, talkback radio,TV lifestyle shows, movies and at alternative spiritual festivals.This spiritual phenomenon used to be known as the “new age” movement. It initially seemed an offbeat fringe movement but by the late 1980’s its influence had spilled over into business, counselling, education and medicine. By century’s end, it had saturated western culture.1 In some respects the new age movement is now passé. Jay Kinney, the editor of Gnosis magazine, pointed out that by the late 1990’s the new age as a cultural movement had levelled out. He compared it to the civil rights and women’s movements of the 1960’s and 1970’s. Both these movements had gone from being avant-garde concerns to becoming part of mainstream social discourse. Kinney found likewise that new age jargon and ideas had become interwoven into the fabric of mainstream society. He argued that the issues and agenda of new age spirituality have stimulated a much more widespread spiritual surge.2 The term new age was discarded several years ago as hackneyed, and both devotees and scholars alike now talk more about a ‘do-it-yourself spirituality’, a ‘new spirituality’ or ‘self spirituality’.3 In secular bookstores this literature is now designated as ‘lifestyle improvement’,‘mind, body, spirit’ or ‘new spirituality’.

    Endless Connections: New Zealand secular intentional rural communities founded in the 1970s A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History at Massey University by Robert Jenkin 22/08/2012 1 We are the music makers, And we are the dreamers of dreams, Wandering by lone sea-breakers, And sitting by desolate streams; World-losers and world-forsakers, On whom the pale moon gleams: Yet we are the movers and shakers Of the world for ever, it seems. Arthur O'Shaughnessy, 1874 2 Acknowledgements First I thank my supervisor, Dr Kerry Taylor, who encouraged me to begin this thesis and has helped me complete it, a longer process than either of us originally expected. Throughout he has encouraged and given sound advice. I am also grateful to Dr Geoff Watson, my Post Graduate Co-ordinator for his advice and support. My partner Anne, a committed member of Rainbow Valley Community for more than thirty years, helped in many ways, and came with me on some parts of my research journey, acting as a photographer at interviews. I also thank my father Ian, whose love of people and their stories distinctively shaped the way I see the world. I have been greatly helped by Olive Jones, who last year finished a PhD thesis on New Zealand communities. We shared ideas over a twelve-month period, during which time she generously let me have copies of hard-to-find but highly relevant material. Lyman Sargent in his turn supplied me with a recently updated digital version of New Zealand Intentional Communities: A Research Guide, 1 and Lucy Sargisson provided me with some of her related articles.

Vanessa Bible 17th September 2010. 3 Acknowledgements I would like to acknowledge the academic staff of the University of New England – in my seven years at this university I have not yet had a lecturer who was not passionate and enthusiastic about their subject areas and I have found them to be most inspiring. Particularly I would like to thank Frank Bongiorno, who was first to ignite my love of history, and who first encouraged me to consider Honours. Mostly I would like to thank Jennifer Clark for continually taking me on as a supervisor and for encouraging me and believing in me, especially when I haven’t believed in myself. I would like to thank all the people I have spoken to while writing my thesis over the past few years who have helped to shape my ideas and have enthusiastically shared their own ideas and experiences with me, including Marty Branagan, Elissa Caldwell, John Corkhill, Graham Irvine, Bert Jenkins, Paul Joseph, Dudley Leggett, Louise Mathieson, Hugh and Nan Nicholson, Sean O’Shannessy, Neil Pike, Dailan Pugh, Aidan Ricketts, Pat Schultz, John Seed and Tim Thorncraft, and special thanks to Rhonda Ellis and Graham Irvine for allowing me access to the Aquarius Archives at Southern Cross University.
