Art Appreciation Lecture Template Art Appreciation Lecture Series 2021 Love, sex and death: The constant companions of art Love, Sex and Death in the Gallery Steven Miller Wednesday 21st April and Thursday 22nd April 2021 Lecture summary: In 2010 Michael Gross, author and journalist, published an unauthorised history of the Metropolitan Museum of New York. It was titled Rogues’ gallery: the secret story of lust, lies, greed and betrayals that made the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Needless to say, the book became a best seller. Gallery archivist, Steven Miller, takes us on a romp through the less-sensational, but equally entertaining, history of the Art Gallery of New South Wales, with an emphasis on the persistent themes of love, sex and death, with perhaps a little more sex than the other two.

However, debate on the definition of public art is still going on: ‘Artworks in Public Places’ and ‘Artworks by/with the public’. Roles and content of public art in Melbourne have been altered and they have affected the typology chronologically and geographically.

  • Plant Ethics in the Photography of Australian Karri (Eucalyptus Diversicolor) Forests, 1890 to the Present
    The Journal of the European Association for Studies of Australia, Vol.7 No.1, 2016 Copyright © John Charles Ryan 2016. This text may be archived and redistributed both in electronic form and in hard copy, provided that the author and journal are properly cited and no fee is charged. “Vegetable Giants of the West:” Plant Ethics in the Photography of Australian Karri (Eucalyptus Diversicolor) Forests, 1890 to the Present John Charles Ryan Abstract: This article examines photographic representations of the karri trees of South- western Australia from colonial-era to contemporary times. In the context of the emerging field of plant ethics, I argue that photography is a vital medium for understanding and fostering ethical attitudes towards botanical life and, more specifically, towards old-growth trees. Whereas the earliest Australian images of karris focused on either the aesthetic or utilitarian value of the trees, contemporary photographers, exemplified by John Austin, demonstrate an acute concern for the ethical treatment of karri forests in the face of intense industrial pressures. Keywords: plant ethics; landscape photography; karri eucalypts; Western Australia Introduction: Plant ethics and old-growth forest photography As a subset of environmental ethics (Desjardins) and an analogue of animal ethics (Gruen), the field of plant ethics has been forwarded in recent years by philosophers (for example, Hall; Heyd; Koechlin; Marder; Pouteau). Whereas the environment, generally, and animals, specifically, have been subjects of ethical theorisation, plants have received less attention. Plant ethicists seek to redress this lack by advocating for the moral consideration of the botanical world in everyday life. On the whole, theorists argue that, while we must eat, drink and use plants, including trees, for our survival, the treatment of vegetable life matters and their lives should have dignity.

  • The Layering of Histories That Gives Places Their Meaning Is Especially Pronounced at Kabulwarnamyo, an Outstation on the Arnhem Land Plateau in Northern Australia
    Archival Media in Arnhem taking them back Land Today MARTIN THOMAS The layering of histories that gives places their meaning is especially pronounced at Kabulwarnamyo, an outstation on the Arnhem Land Plateau in northern Australia. Sited on an ancient camping ground, its present incarnation as a place of residence dates from 2003 when Lofty Bardayal Nadjamerrek, the distinguished west Arnhem Land painter, fulfilled a long-held desire to live out his final years in this, the land of his childhood. The outstation is part of the estate known as Ankung Djang, country of the Mok clan, of which Bardayal is the senior traditional owner. He was born on the plateau, or Stone Country as it is known, some time around 1926. This was the period when Anglicans from the Church Missionary Society set up station at Oenpelli, a former pastoral enterprise. Despite this incursion less than a hundred kilometres distant, Bardayal’s childhood on the plateau was for the most part a traditional hunter-gatherer existence, supplemented by occasional visits to missions and other settlements where bush commodities were traded for bamboo (to make spear shafts) and tobacco. In more recent times, Bardayal and his wife, Mary Kolkkiwarra, were prominent in the Outstation or Homeland Movement. After World War II, the bulk of the Aboriginal popula- tion became concentrated at settlements such Oenpelli and Maningrida. A trickle of people began to leave in the late 1960s and by the seventies this had become something of an exodus.1 Buoyed by Whitlam’s policy of self-determination, they returned to ancestral country.

  • A Walking Tour of the Public Sculptures Along Swanston Street, Melbourne. Text Only. Michael Donnelly, First Produced, 2005, at RVIB
    “Do Touch the Sculptures” A walking tour of the public sculptures along Swanston Street, Melbourne. Text Only. Michael Donnelly, First produced, 2005, at RVIB. This revised edition, 2015, at SVRC. Copies of the Braille & Tactile Image or the Large Print & image versions of the Guide are available for loan from SVRC. Acknowledgements: I must acknowledge my indebtedness to a publication by the City of Melbourne Art and Culture Department: Public Art Works: Swanston Street & Bourke Street Mall, (c.1998) from which I have borrowed copious amounts of text and to the assistance of Andrea Kleist, Public Art Program Manager and Eddie Butler Bowdon at the Council, as well as, more recently, Lynda Roberts, Public Art Program Manager, Arts & Culture, City of Melbourne. I wish also to thank the sculptor Des McKenna for information he supplied on his Wombat sculpture. Thanks also to the Production staff at the Statewide Vision Resource Centre, Donvale. This applies also to Garry Stinchcombe, Deb Lewis and other staff who have supported me in continuing this project. Introduction: The City of Melbourne has a very rich and varied collection of public sculptures that creates, in effect, an “Open Air Sculpture Museum”. Many of the streets, building facades and parklands are punctuated by interesting sculptural pieces, many of them accessible for tactual investigation even if “no climbing” is allowed. The often contentious stretch of street scape known as the Swanston Street Walk and the adjacent Bourke Street Mall are just a small part of the overall scheme but they provide a marvellous opportunity to discover a diverse sculptural mix in relatively close proximity to each other.

  • Popular Representations of Australian Aboriginality

NÍngkoandi kuma yerta." l directions Analysing the various mythologies that inform Australian understandings of Aboriginal people, Marcia Langton concludes that what is revealed is not by and large a relationship between actual people but a relationship between white Australians and the symbols created by their predecessors: "Australians do not know and relate to Aboriginal people. They relate to stories told by former colonists" (Langton, 1993: 31). This thesis concentrates upon this relationship of non-Aboriginal people (especially white Australians) to the symbols and narratives they use to produce what is called Aboriginality. lt is a study of popular or broadly circulating representations of Australian Aboriginality. lt does not concentrate to any significant extent upon representations produced by Aboriginal people themselves: lt is important to recognise that the Aboriginality that is the subject of this thesis is an object largely independent of the cultural expressions and identity formations of Aboriginal people themselves.

BALL PUBLISHED AT BOSTON 1932 Reprinted by Higginson Book Company Derby Square Salem, Mass. 01970 PL»nOCI»*PhJD Qy iP*oi.O'»<C, MOSS CO BOSTDt^ : INTRODUCTION This volume, like Topsy, was not bom, it Just grew. As a genealogy it was not conceived By its eannarks don't be deceived. In establishing the identity of one of my Ball an- cestors, much difficulty was encountered, and before the right clue was obtained, there had accumulated consider- able data; in fact, the records of practically all of John (l) Ball's descendants up to the sixth generation were revealed. With the above as a nucleus, the rest Just unraveled Itself from the hidden past and grew to be an alluring pastime. The difficulty encountered in the first of ray search- ing and the absence of a genealogy of John Ball's descen- dants caused me to hesitate before destroying my records and finally resulted in the compiling of the same. If the contents herein save a casual Ball-ancestor- investi- gator of the future a small part of the trouble and de- spair the compiler was caused in his original searchlngs, the effort of putting this data before the future genera- tions will not have been In vain. Numerous mistakes. Inaccuracies and typographical errors will, no doubt, be found, and I trust those who refer herein will be duly forebearing. By submitting their criticisms in the form of actual family records to the compiler, they will help considerably, and such crit- icism will be gratefully welcomed.
