We chose to hold this year’s conference early in July to coincide with the third week of the Sydney Biennale. In small nations, conferences play a particularly important role offering mutual support as well as crucial opportunities for exchange and networking across the region, central to the intellectual and institutional lineage of art-making and art historical writing in the region, giving artists, students, scholars and critics alike a regular forum in which to exchange ideas. Over the next two days 200 papers will be given by a diverse mix of scholars, curators, students and artists. We were very fortunate to receive sponsorship from the Sydney College of the Arts to support two student scholarships to attend the conference and from the Power Institute, University of Sydney to enable Helen Molesworth’s visit. In addition, we would like to formally acknowledge the financial and in kind support of the Australia Council, the Art Gallery of New South Wales, the Biennale of Sydney, College of Fine Arts, Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation, the United States Study Centre, Sydney University Museums and the Power Institute, The University of Sydney. I would like to offer my thanks to the conference committee led by the convenors Susan Best and Donna West Brett, working with our conference coordinator, Katrina Liberiou. Their dedication, imagination and fund-raising activities have enabled members to come together this year. Most of the work is hidden so please, thank them at the conference when you see them. They have been ably assisted by a broader committee comprising: Colin Rhodes and Ann Elias (Sydney College of the Arts), Mark Ledbury (University of Sydney), John di Stefano and Anita Taylor (National Art School), Toni Ross (University of NSW), Anthony Bond (AGNSW) and Virginia Mitchell (Biennale of Sydney). This conference also launches our new conference web-site, so a special thanks to our designer Nest, our web manager Dr Elisabeth Findlay, and our business manager, Louise Mayhew. Thanks also to the Executive and our long-standing treasurer, Donna West Brett, who has greatly assisted the conference. Ann Stephen, President AAANZ 4 Welcome from the Convenors We are delighted to welcome you to 2012 AAANZ conference in Sydney, “Together<>Apart” programmed to coincide with the 18th Biennale of Sydney. The conference theme was designed to complement (and to investigate) this year’s biennale theme “all our relations.” It focuses on the very broad idea of relations and relationships as well as allied terms such as collaborations, networks and partnerships. An exciting range of papers has been assembled to address the myriad ways in which such terms can be examined. We are very pleased to have two very distinguished keynote speakers, Dr Helen Molesworth and Professor Thierry de Duve. Helen is a leading curator, who recently received a Curatorial Excellence award from Bard College in New York and is currently chief curator, Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, 2009– 2012. Professor Thierry de Duve is an outstanding scholar, curator and art critic. He curated the Belgian section of the Venice Biennale in 2003 and his exhibition Look! 100 Years of Contemporary Art was a ground-breaking reappraisal of the meaning of contemporary art. Both of our keynote speakers have very generously agreed to hold master classes for some sixty postgraduate students selected by their universities to attend. Conferences like this are only possible with a great team, some of whom we would like to expressly thank here. First, we would like to thank our president, Ann Stephen, for her consistent support, her great energy and enthusiasm, and her tireless devotion to making this conference the best it could possibly be. Equally important has been the assistance of our conference coordinator, Katrina Liberiou. She has been invaluable in calmly and patiently helping us pull it all together. We thank our student volunteers who have given their time to ensure the smooth running of venues and registration. Finally, we thank all of you: the participants who make a conference like this a vibrant and invigorating intellectual event.

    The Elements within Sculpture - 4 June to 15 July 2011 L A U R A I N E · D I G G I N S · F I N E · A R T The Elements within Sculpture Such Diversity e have travelled a long way! The distance between the sculpture of Sir Bertram Mackennal (1863-1931) and the extraordinarily diverse works W produced by contemporary Australian sculptors is virtually immeasurable. Some fascinating links, nevertheless, remain. Bertram Mackennal was the first Australian artist to achieve great success overseas.* For most of his career he was resident in London where he was accepted by the establishment and enjoyed royal patronage. Furthermore, he was the first Australian elected to the Royal Academy, the first to have a work purchased by the Tate Gallery and the first Australian artist to be knighted. Influenced by Rodin, he became part of the New Sculpture movement in the UK where he practiced an idealised DEL KATHRYN BARTON 1972 - I am loving you like this (version 2), 2008 naturalism, which gave a new life to the classical tradition. bronze edition 3/3 Essentially a modeller in clay, many of his works were subsequently cast in bronze, 100 x 34 x 36 cm while others were carved in marble. Relying heavily on commissions and patronage, he produced a great number of portrait busts, memorials such as the regal Queen Victoria Memorial, 1897-1901, at Ballarat and a wonderful series of very sensuous female nudes: the National Gallery of Victoria has his arresting Circe of 1893 in their collection. The sexuality was made palatable to the attitudes of his period by the use of classical references, as with Vesta, 1900, in this exhibition.

  • Of Australia's First Woman Sculptor and Her War Memorials
    In Memoriam: World War I memorials by the Australian sculptor Margaret Baskerville (1861-1930). Margaret A. Rose, FAHA, FRHistS Margaret Francis Ellen (“Nell”) Baskerville was born in Melbourne, Victoria in 1861 and was one of the first Australian-born women artists to become a professional sculptor. This brief illustrated account of her war memorials is based on my study of her work and that of her husband and fellow sculptor C. Douglas Richardson, which was published for the Brighton (now Bayside) City Council collection of their paintings and sculpture under the title Victorian Artists. Margaret Baskerville (1861-1930) and C. Douglas Richardson (1853-1932) in 1988. Several memorials to the fallen were commissioned and completed by sculptors as well as by stonemasons in Australia in the aftermath of the “Great War”. Many are recorded, and some are illustrated, in the numerous editions of Sacred Places: War Memorials in the Australian Landscape by K.S. Inglis, assisted by Jan Brazier, of 1998, as well as – more recently – on websites such as those for the “Monument Australia” and “Victorian Heritage” databases. As Inglis has noted, the majority of the war memorials unveiled in the public spaces of Australian towns following World War I had been for – and had illustrated – the male soldiers who had fought and fallen in battle. Amongst the memorials built and unveiled following World War I were, however, also two by the Australian sculptor Margaret Baskerville (1861-1930) for the British nurse Edith Louisa Cavell. Cavell (born in Norfolk, England in 1865) had trained as a nurse in London under a friend of Florence Nightingale (Matron Eva Luckes), had taken up work in Belgium and been executed there at dawn on 12 October 1915 by order of the German Military Governor of Brussels for having assisted in the escape of allied soldiers, and despite the fact that she had tended the wounded of both sides.

He studied in London and Paris, spending five years in the latter city and coming under the influence of French Symbolism and Romanticism. He spent the rest of his life working in London, though he frequently visited Australia and sculpted the portraits of many famous Australians of the early 20th century. He became a proponent of 'The New School of British Sculpture', exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1886, and was elected ARA in 1909 and RA in 1922. He was the first Australian artist to be knighted (1921). Apart from his heads and busts, Mackennal sculpted portrait reliefs and also the profiles of King George V used for coins, medals and postage stamps.

  • Bertram Mackennal and the Sculptural Femme Fatale in the 1890S
    Circe 1893 (detail) bronze 240 x 79.4 x 93.4 cm National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne The Felton Bequest 1910 ‘Her invitation and her contempt’: Bertram Mackennal and the sculptural femme fatale in the 1890s DAVID J GETSY In the early 1890s Bertram Mackennal still struggled to find audiences, patrons and critical recognition. After having moved between Melbourne, London and Paris, he had been unsuccessful in garnering what he considered sufficient attention, and his letters from the period are fraught with anxieties and plans for his career. In 1892 he began working on a major life-size ‘statue’ in the ‘ideal’ or ‘imaginative’ genre that would, he hoped, establish his name. ‘I am trying to make a big work of this figure and at present am full of hope,’ he remarked.1 Such a gambit was common enough for an aspiring sculptor in the competitive market of the late 19th century. British sculpture, in particular, had been reinvigorated in the 1880s by artists who staked their reputations on similar highly-conceptualised life-size statues. This movement to modernise the theory and practice of sculpture in Britain would be dubbed the ‘New Sculpture’ in 1894 – the same year Mackennal’s own contribution to it could be seen at the Royal Academy of Art’s summer exhibition.2 As Mackennal knew himself from his brief time at the Royal Academy schools and from the contacts he made there, polemical statues such as his could be the statements through which debates about the theory, practice and future of sculpture occurred.3 Even after his move to Paris, Mackennal seems to have identified with these formulations of modern sculpture in London and kept a close eye on the British capital and the better market possibilities it offered for an Australian sculptor.4 His ambitious life-size statue, although first exhibited at the 1893 Paris Salon, drew deeply on his familiarity and sympathy with the aims of the New Sculpture, and it was in London where it made its more lasting impact.
