  • Irreverent Tales – Pamela Irving Artspace, 22 June-29 July 2017 Liza Dale-Hallett, Senior Curator, Sustainable Futures, Museums Victoria
    Irreverent Tales – Pamela Irving Artspace, 22 June-29 July 2017 Liza Dale-Hallett, Senior Curator, Sustainable Futures, Museums Victoria Thank you Jacquie and Pamela for the opportunity to speak here tonight. Welcome everyone to Irreverent Tales! What an exhibition. When I view Pamela Irving’s art it reminds me of why art matters. How it keeps our brains and hearts primed for living. Pamela’s YOLO Men graphically & optimistically remind us that we Only Live Once. When I look at Pamela’s art, these are the words that come to mind: Surprising Provocative Personal Joyful Fun Useful Colourful Symbolic Passionate Poetic Complex Her work has many layers of meaning & depth across time Pamela has, more than most artists, used her talents to foster creative communities and enrich our public places with vibrant and fun art. Her work is found in collections across Australia and the world. It is on our streets, in our schools. It is very firmly planted in our hearts and has become part of Melbourne’s urban legends. We are indeed very honoured to present over 30 years of Pamela Irving’s artistic practice in paintings, drawings and mosaics. It is particularly special to know that she created her first ceramic work in Box Hill. Some of these works in this exhibition have never been shown in Australia. One work on loan from Museums Victoria has not been seen publicly since 1991! 'Something old, something new, something borrowed, someone blue' – was acquired by me, as a young, just married for the first time (!), curator. It became part of the Ritual & Belief Collection within the Museums Victoria, and had been intended for the new Museum at Southbank.

  • SCG Victorian Councils Post Amalgamation
    Analysis of Victorian Councils Post Amalgamation September 2019 spence-consulting.com Spence Consulting 2 Analysis of Victorian Councils Post Amalgamation Analysis by Gavin Mahoney, September 2019 It’s been over 20 years since the historic Victorian Council amalgamations that saw the sacking of 1600 elected Councillors, the elimination of 210 Councils and the creation of 78 new Councils through an amalgamation process with each new entity being governed by State appointed Commissioners. The Borough of Queenscliffe went through the process unchanged and the Rural City of Benalla and the Shire of Mansfield after initially being amalgamated into the Shire of Delatite came into existence in 2002. A new City of Sunbury was proposed to be created from part of the City of Hume after the 2016 Council elections, but this was abandoned by the Victorian Government in October 2015. The amalgamation process and in particular the sacking of a democratically elected Council was referred to by some as revolutionary whilst regarded as a massacre by others. On the sacking of the Melbourne City Council, Cr Tim Costello, Mayor of St Kilda in 1993 said “ I personally think it’s a drastic and savage thing to sack a democratically elected Council. Before any such move is undertaken, there should be questions asked of what the real point of sacking them is”. Whilst Cr Liana Thompson Mayor of Port Melbourne at the time logically observed that “As an immutable principle, local government should be democratic like other forms of government and, therefore the State Government should not be able to dismiss any local Council without a ratepayers’ referendum.

  • Collections Policy 2017 - 2025
    COLLECTIONS POLICY 2017 - 2025 1. SUMMARY The Whitehorse Art Collection was established by the former City of Box Hill in 1927 and was developed from a core of artworks created by artists who attended the famous Box Hill Artists’ Camp in the 1880s. Included are artworks by Frederick McCubbin, Tom Roberts and Arthur Streeton. The main subject of the early artworks is the landscape. The Collection is a notable public collection, with a wealth of historic and contemporary art. In recent years, the Collection has developed with the acquisition of contemporary landscapes, the urban and suburban landscape, and a large amount of ceramics. The region is renowned for tile manufacturing, potteries and brickworks. Generous donations and an acquisitions budget have ensured the longevity of this significant collection for the benefit of future generations. The Whitehorse Art Collection currently comprises almost 1,700 items. The Collections Policy combines the former Art Collection Policy, the Exhibition Policy and formalizes the development of a memorabilia collection to be known as the Civic Collection. 2. PURPOSE To ensure sound management and development of the collections managed by the City of Whitehorse, the Whitehorse Art Collection and the Whitehorse Civic Collection, together with the provision of guidelines for visual arts exhibitions in Council venues. 3. OBJECTIVES • To conserve, document and develop the Art Collection and Civic Collection in accordance with current museological practices. • To facilitate public access to the Art Collection and Civic Collection. • To curate a diverse exhibition program for the residents of Whitehorse and beyond. • To implement the Statement of Purpose. 4. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE The Whitehorse Art Collection and Civic Collection reflect, engages with and inspires our diverse community.
