    Alison Young Art and Belonging: on Place, Displacement And

    10 NUART JOURNAL 2019 VOLUME 1 NUMBER 2 10–19 ART AND BELONGING: ON PLACE, DISPLACEMENT AND PLACELESSNESS Alison Young University of Melbourne Street art is often talked about as contributing to a sense of place. Mural projects, festivals, and street artworks are said to foster feelings of belonging, recognition, and connection to a place. More than this, street art is increasingly used in place-branding and in commercial transactions. This article poses some questions about the implications of the way that street art relates to place and both makes and unmakes spaces of connection and disconnection. It will begin with the use of street artwork to sell property development, identifying this as a contemporary characteristic of the now well-known relationship between art and gentrification. As a counterpoint to the commercialisation of the sense of place generated by street art, it examines the work of artists such as Ian Strange, Francis Alÿs, and Stanislava Pinchuk, who make art located in displacement, dislocation, and dispossession. ART AND BELONGING 11 INTRODUCTION time, it did not take long for this apparent correlation to be Where does street art take place? Found in train converted into a belief that commissioned art interventions tunnels, abandoned buildings, warehouses, train carriages would have the same effect on markets. Mural projects, in railyards, alleyways, and on rooftops, street art has usually involving large-scale gable end murals painted with never been found only in the street.

    MANLY FERRIES BALGOWLAH, BARRENJOEY and BARAGOOLA

    MANLY FERRIES BALGOWLAH, BARRENJOEY and BARAGOOLA Tony Prescott and Ross Willson This article originally appeared in The Log, vol. 12, no. 3 New Series (25 August 1979), pp. 78-85 It has been edited for digital publication on 27 December 2007. © The authors 2007. Drawings © Peter Nicolson 1970. Baragoola in the 1980s, in her final years as a government-operated ferry. (Tony Prescott) INTRODUCTION The popular image of the Manly ferry during the present century has very much evolved around the "class" (to use a naval term loosely) of six very similar double-ended screw steamers built for the Port Jackson Co-operative Steamship Co. Ltd. and the Port Jackson and Manly Steamship Co. Ltd. between 1905 and 1922. These six steamers were to be eclipsed in size, speed, accommodation and glamour by the Scottish-built Dee Why and Curl Curl of 1928 (The Log, May 1977) and South Steyne of 1938 (The Log, August 1983, November 1983). However, the smaller boats were to prove more economically practical in the long-term and two of them, both to be described in this article, are still in service while the Scottish boats have been withdrawn. Up to the early years of this century, the Port Jackson company operated a fleet consisting almost entirely of paddle steamers. The reason for the relatively late transition to screw propulsion lay in the necessity of using double-ended ships due to the configuration of Sydney Harbour with its many coves and the difficulties of turning in the Circular Quay terminus. Smaller double-ended ferries had been found to operate quite successfully with screw propulsion, but the Manly service had speed and heavy weather requirements which necessitated fine bows on the ships.
  • A Social Geography of the Mornington Peninsula (Dr Ian Manning)

    A Social Geography of the Mornington Peninsula (Dr Ian Manning)

    A social geography of the Mornington Peninsula (Dr Ian Manning) This article was prepared for the George Hicks Foundation as part of a background paper for a meeting of philanthropists interested in work on the Mornington Peninsula. An evaluation of the costs and benefits of providing educational assistance to disadvantaged families living on the Peninsula is provided in a separate posting. The Mornington Peninsula Shire is known as a place where people can live near the sea, perhaps within walking distance of the beach or on a bluff with a view over the bay, or perhaps among the hills within easy driving distance of the beach. The peninsula faces Port Phillip Bay across a crescent of beaches along which there is a near-continuous strip of urban development, backed by a range of hills which, once over the ridge, slope down to Westernport Bay to the east and Bass Strait to the south. Paradise? Yet not for all residents. As will be shown below, the peninsula has its disadvantaged families, some of them scattered across the shire and some of them concentrated in two main pockets of disadvantage, one centred on Rosebud West and the other on Hastings. Geographically, the peninsula contrasts sharply with the western shore of Port Phillip Bay, where a basalt plain comes down to the sea and separates Melbourne from Geelong. Though similar in distance from Melbourne to the City of Geelong (that is, 60-110 km), the peninsula lacks Geelong’s historic, independent city centre; instead, the peninsula shades from outer suburb to peri-urban; built-up to semi-rural.
