AUSTRALIAN CHAMBER ORCHESTRA 13 The Music of Luminous Luminous is a harmonious marriage of music and image. The sound sculptures of Paul Healy were commissioned for this project to be the tissue that binds music and imagery. The industrial and cityscape backdrops of Bill Henson’s imagery serve as Healy’s sonic inspiration, as well as the feelings one has when contemplating Henson’s photographs: “I have laced these environmental sounds with distant fragments of the musical phrases and human voice, both whispers and singing.” Just as Henson’s images are contemporary works that reference traditions of visual art, so too does the music of Alfred Schnittke, whose “polystylism” encompasses many musical traditions. His Trio Sonata, composed in 1985 to mark 100 years since the birth of Alban Berg (and 50 years since his death), is inspired by the Viennese tradition, from the dark serialism of Berg to its light café waltzes. Benjamin Britten’s setting of the Corpus Christi Carol serves as an interlude between the two movements of Schnittke’s Trio Sonata. The words of this ancient carol are rich in the imagery of Christ’s Passion, the Holy Grail and the Eucharist, intertwined using the Medieval image of a bleeding knight laying at his final resting place, mourned by a grieving maiden. Gabriel Yared’s haunting “Lullaby for Cain” from The Talented Mr Ripley explores the relationship between the sociopathic Tom Ripley and playboy Dickie Greenleaf, whom Ripley murders in order to assume his identity. The song explores this through the parallel Biblical story of Cain and Abel, where Cain murders Abel in an envious rage.

    1 Curating Photography in Australia Dr Daniel

    Curating Photography in Australia Dr Daniel Palmer (Monash University) & Dr Martyn Jolly (ANU) This paper derives from some early research into the various forces currently influencing photography curating in Australian art galleries. We are especially interested in new technologies such as the internet, but more generally the protean nature of the medium itself. Naturally, to better understand the present, we start with a few glimpses of the past. The Pre-History Although the institutional collecting and curating of photography didn’t begin in earnest until the 1970s, in the five or so decades before then the powerful idea of collecting photographs was intermittently discussed, at various levels of institutional authority, with various degrees of vigour. At the end of the First World War, the amateur photographic magazine the Australasian Photo Review called for a ‘national collection of Australian photographic records’. The Mitchell Library was one of several who responded positively to this idea, even suggesting a list of twelve different categories of photographs which amateurs could take for a future repository. However the librarians didn’t follow through on their initial positive noises and collections failed to materialise. Thirty years later, at the end of the Second World War, the idea of a national collection was raised again. Contemporary Photography devoted an entire issue to the new sharp bromide enlargements Harold Cazneaux had made of his Pictorialist negatives of Old Sydney, and declared that they ‘would be a valuable acquisition for the Mitchell Library or Australian Historical Societies.’ However, once more the library failed to follow through, and Cazneaux’s photographs remained uncollected.

    THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 26 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ABC MUSIC WINS THREE AWARDS AT THE 2020 ARIA AWARDS ABC MUSIC LIFETIME AWARD WINS NOW AT 188 Following the 2020 ARIA Awards last night, ABC Music has collected three awards across the Best Children’s Album, Best World Music Album & Best Classical Album categories. The awards were won by Teeny Tiny Stevies ‘Thoughtful Songs for Little People’ (Best Children’s Album), Joseph Tawadros ‘Live at the Sydney Opera House’ (Best World Music Album) and Richard Tognetti & Erin Helyard ‘Beethoven & Mozart Violin Sonatas’ (Best Classical Album). Last night’s event saw Teeny Tiny Stevies win their first-ever ARIA Award. “We’ve been working musicians for so long now, this nod from the industry is definitely a proud moment. If I’m lucky I’ll get a few high fives from other parents at school drop off today,” said Byll Stephen, half of the sister duo. The night marked the fifth ARIA win for Tawadros and Tognetti. “It’s been a hard year for musicians everywhere - like me, most have had no live shows and it’s devastating. This recognition of my music is extra special, especially as it’s a live concert recording with a lively audience. I want to thank everyone who was involved in making it happen. It’s some much-needed light in a very challenging year,” said Joseph. On winning Best Classical Album with Richard Tognetti, Erin Helyard said, “Richard & I are old mates and are delighted to have won. We wanted to present a kind of history of the evolution of the eighteenth-century violin sonata, and the city of Vienna.

    VULNERABILITY and the PASSING of CHILDHOOD in BILL HENSON: INNOCENCE in the AGE of MECHANICAL REPRODUCTION1 Joanne Faulkner

    PARRHESIA NUMBER 11 • 2011 • 44-55 VULNERABILITY AND THE PASSING OF CHILDHOOD IN BILL HENSON: INNOCENCE IN THE AGE OF MECHANICAL REPRODUCTION1 Joanne Faulkner In May 2008 the Australian art community was delivered a shock when one of its luminaries, photographer Bill Henson, received popular attention for all the wrong reasons. The opening night of his exhibition at the Roslyn Oxley9 gallery, in Sydney’s cosmopolitan suburb of Paddington, was cancelled, and works seized by the NSW police force due to a complaint by child-protection activist, Hetty Johnson. The complaint was leveled particularly at the event’s invitation to friends of the gallery, which used an image of a naked adolescent girl. The exhibition had also received adverse coverage from Sydney Morning Herald columnist Miranda Devine, who wrote in the name of ‘innocent childhood’ that: The effort over many decades by various groups—artists, perverts, academics, libertarians, the media and advertising industries, respectable corporations and the porn industry—to smash taboos of previous generations and define down community standards, has successfully eroded the special protection once afforded childhood.2 Thus the boundaries of conflict were drawn: boundaries that echo similar controversies in the US and Britain, pitting the apparently competing concerns for the protection of children against the freedom of artistic expression.3 On one side, Henson was portrayed as an exploiter of children, and representative of a leisure class that flouts community morality. On the other, he was heralded as an artist of first merit, whose work is above the scrutiny of tabloid-reading philistines.4 The divided nature of the discussion meant that a middle ground was difficult to occupy.
