(2020) The Victorian Music Business Career Life Cycle, RMIT University, Melbourne for the Victorian Music Development Office 2 Foreword A message from the VMDO The music industry will always evolve and so will career prospects. This study provides a genuine insight into how change can be managed in an uncertain industry. The skills, knowledge and experience demonstrated by passionate Victorian music industry professionals and businesses are imperative – they solidify and bind so many possibilities for musicians and artists in the music sector. It’s also evident that this extensive and nimble skillset is transferable across many sectors – creative, corporate and non-for-profit. These unsung heroes could include artist managers, record label owners, promoters, publicists, agents, marketing and publishing practitioners (amongst others) who may work for organisations or within their own small or micro music businesses. The Victorian Music Development Office (VMDO) co-designed the Victorian Music Business Career Life Cycle study with RMIT University and Doctor Catherine Strong from the School of Media and Communication, which looks at gaining a deeper understanding of what skills and strategies people need to be successful as a music professional.

Deconstruction Sites: An Interpretive Case Study of the Design of the Emerging Cultural Landscape. Vince Dziekan Position Statement Monash University In response to the call to “address the emerging context, which acknowledges that in recent years, media and information-technology shifts have changed the cultural landscape of design and designing”, this paper will contribute to the discourse of design’s fluid interrelationship with cultural activity and production by focussing on the resulting formation of art, new technology and the design of its institutions. If art since the advent of Modernism can be characterized by any single quality it would have to be its diversity… however, across the breadth of such aesthetic and stylistic difference remains its common, primary destination: the Museum.

  • European Influences in the Fine Arts: Melbourne 1940-1960
    INTERSECTING CULTURES European Influences in the Fine Arts: Melbourne 1940-1960 Sheridan Palmer Bull Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree ofDoctor ofPhilosophy December 2004 School of Art History, Cinema, Classics and Archaeology and The Australian Centre The University ofMelbourne Produced on acid-free paper. Abstract The development of modern European scholarship and art, more marked.in Austria and Germany, had produced by the early part of the twentieth century challenging innovations in art and the principles of art historical scholarship. Art history, in its quest to explicate the connections between art and mind, time and place, became a discipline that combined or connected various fields of enquiry to other historical moments. Hitler's accession to power in 1933 resulted in a major diaspora of Europeans, mostly German Jews, and one of the most critical dispersions of intellectuals ever recorded. Their relocation to many western countries, including Australia, resulted in major intellectual and cultural developments within those societies. By investigating selected case studies, this research illuminates the important contributions made by these individuals to the academic and cultural studies in Melbourne. Dr Ursula Hoff, a German art scholar, exiled from Hamburg, arrived in Melbourne via London in December 1939. After a brief period as a secretary at the Women's College at the University of Melbourne, she became the first qualified art historian to work within an Australian state gallery as well as one of the foundation lecturers at the School of Fine Arts at the University of Melbourne. While her legacy at the National Gallery of Victoria rests mostly on an internationally recognised Department of Prints and Drawings, her concern and dedication extended to the Gallery as a whole.
