    CITY OF F4DCTSC 1•2 AY Openinq of New Municipal Offices c Chambers by the Governor, Lord 1-luntincifield VA/EVILER 201 — 1936 • EDWARD HANVIER, J.P., MAYOR OFFICIAL PROGRAM 1 HIS WORSHIP THE MAYOR, CR. E. HANMER =jnitaittcit.on • • • For many years the citizens of Footscray considered that the Muciicipal Buildings known as the Town Hall were not suitable. Indeed the structure had become unsafe to those who used or occupied it. The people had realised their City had made such progress that the retention of the old Town Hall was quite unjustifiable from any civic or other standpoint. This unanimity of opinion, however, entirely disappeared when consideration was given the type of new building and the site of the same. Many advocated that there should be a new Town Hall as well as Council Chamber and Municipal Offices, but these people differed in opinion whether the building should be at the existing site or at another. A large number of Citizens refused to admit the need of a public building, but agreed that new Council Chamber and Municipal Offices were needed. They also differed in opinion in respect of the site. This confusion of thought delayed action for some years. Eventually the Council decided in favor of new Council Chamber, Administrative Offices and Assembly Hall at the same site, the corner of Hyde and Napier Streets. These decisions were embodied in a certain loan proposition, which, when submitted to the people, in pursuance of the provisions of the Local Government Act, presented an opportunity to the ratepayers to veto the same.

For many artists and experimenters the challenge arises when, looking around for inspiration, we attempt to materialise our vision with the means available to us. This is hardly new. To some nineteenth-century painters and photographers who had, as Oettermann suggests, "discovered" the horizon (1), it must have seemed natural to abandon the frame and its imposed point of view &emdash; familiar in painting &emdash; for a wider, horizontally unedited form of visual representation. Introduced by Aston Barker in Glasgow in 1783, the panorama and its offshoots were at the forefront of imaging development throughout the next century and remained a popular attraction until cinema was introduced. The theatrical presentation of moving images suddenly drew the crowds away from the rotundas displaying the still panoramas. By the turn of the twentieth century, the new generations of entrepreneurial image-makers had abandoned, out of sheer technical difficulty and for economic reasons, the project of developing a cinematic panorama and made do with the frame's imposed point of view.

  • City of Melbourne Numismatic Collection Made in Melbourne
    City of Melbourne Numismatic Collection By Darren Burgess The City of Melbourne has a unique collection of items that are important to the cultural and social history of the city. Many of these items are on permanent display in the form of artworks and architecture, while some come out from time to time in exhibitions, such as those held at the City Gallery, next to the Town Hall. Yet others still sit in cabinet drawers, behind locked doors, in a storage room down an anonymous laneway, where no-one sees them. This project is an attempt to shed light on some of these fascinating little-seen items. They not only tell a story of the City of Melbourne but also of some of the people that have helped shape it over the years. The project’s focus is numismatic items, a term that traditionally refers to coins, banknotes and medals. The collection has approximately 200 such items, ranging from examples of pre-decimal coinage through to elaborate exhibition medals. The majority of items described here fit into the coins and medals categories, but this project expands the definition to include badges held in the city’s Art and Heritage Collection. Badges were often manufactured by the same companies that produced coins and medals. They also frequently perform similar functions to medals, in that they are used to commemorate events, mark achievements or indicate membership of an organisation. Made in Melbourne Abundant skills in engraving and medal manufacture existed in Melbourne at the turn of the 19th century, as the following section, Selling Melbourne, shows; for example, Ernst Altmann, Stokes & Martin and the Melbourne branch of the Royal Mint.

This borrowing is in- tended to signal from the outset that parallels will be drawn in this paper be- tween Greek-Australian recorded sound and the now better documented Greek-American case. Contextualising the story of Greek recorded sound in Australia will also necessitate some narrative of developments in both the broader Australian and the metropolitan Greek record industry, as well as ex- tensive reference to the English Parent Company of the principal corpo- rate players in both Greece and Australia. This reflects the fact that sound recording has been a multinational industry virtually since its inception.1 My paper might have been better subtitled a neglected research topic, for this is the inevitable conclusion to be drawn from declared interests and publications to date.2 This is a pity, because Greek-Australian recorded 1 The company documents used in this paper are housed at the EMI Archives in Hayes, Middlesex, UK: the reference to country and date sources each document cited to an annual file for either Greece or Australia.

  • Sydney Dance Company - a Study of a Connecting Thread with the Ballets Russes’
    ‘Sydney Dance Company - A study of a connecting thread with the Ballets Russes’ Peter Stell B.A. (Hons). The Australian Centre, School of Historical Studies, The University of Melbourne. A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts by Research May, 2009. i Declaration I declare that the work presented in this thesis is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, original, except as acknowledged in the text, and that the material has not been submitted, either in whole or in part, for a degree at this or any other university. …………………………………………. Peter Stell ii Abstract This thesis addresses unexplored territory within a relatively new body of scholarship concerning the history of the Ballets Russes in Australia. Specifically, it explores the connection between the original Diaghilev Ballets Russes (1909- 1929) and the trajectories of influence of Russian ballets that visited Australia. The study’s hypothesis is that the Sydney Dance Company, under the artistic direction of Graeme Murphy between 1976 and 2007, and the creation in 1978 of Murphy’s first full-length work Poppy, best exemplifies in contemporary terms the influence in Australia of the Ballets Russes. Murphy was inspired to create Poppy from his reading of the prominent artistic collaborator of the Ballets Russes, Jean Cocteau. This thesis asserts that Poppy, and its demonstrable essential connection with the original Diaghilev epoch, was the principal driver of Murphy’s artistic leadership over fifty dance creations by himself and collaborative artists. This study sketches the origins of the Ballets Russes, the impact its launch made on dance in the West, and how it progressed through three distinguishable phases of influence.
