Glenn Building, The University of Auckland 12 Grafton Road, Auckland 1010 & Te Noho Kotahitanga Marae, Unitec Institute of Technology 139 Carrington Road, Mount Albert, Auckland 1025 & Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki Corner Kitchener and Wellesley Streets, Auckland 1010 Full Programme of Abstracts and Biographies The AAANZ Conference 2019 is supported by the Te Noho Kotahitanga Marae, and the School of Architecture, Unitec Institute of Technology, Waipapa Marae, Elam School of Fine Arts and the Faculty of Arts at the University of Auckland, ST PAUL St Gallery and the Faculty of Design and Creative Technologies at Auckland University of Technology, Whitecliffe College of Art and Design, the Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki and the Chartwell Trust. The University of Auckland is proud to acknowledge Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei as mana whenua and the special relationship they have with the University of Auckland City Campus. Mana whenua refers to the iwi and hapū who have traditional authority over land. We respect the tikanga (customs) of Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei as mana whenua and recognise their kaitiakitanga (stewardship) role over the land the City Campus is located on. 1 AAANZ 2019 Ngā Tūtaki – Encounter/s: Agency, Embodiment, Exchange, Ecologies NAU MAI HAERE MAI! Welcome to AAANZ 2019 Ngā Tūtaki – Encounter/s: Agency, Embodiment, Exchange, Ecologies in Tāmaki Makaurau! The theme for this year’s conference had as its starting point a critique of the Ministry for Culture and Heritage’s Tuia Encounters 250th commemorations taking place in Aotearoa in 2019: the notion of encounter was one to conjure with. What is understood by the word encounter? Does it connote an unexpected meeting or a purposeful exchange? What is gained and what is lost? How do we understand encounter/s in 2019? For some, encounters manifest as social, cultural and global provocations, whilst for others, encounters represent the history of exchange and colonial settlement. Recent events, both locally and globally, have highlighted the urgency for wider conversations regarding encounter. For this year’s conference we wanted to encourage presentations that re-consider disciplinary boundaries to counter dominant narratives and offer decolonising strategies and alternative viewpoints within the arts and cultural sectors. In this way, encounters have the power to be transformative. The conference has four major themes: Agency Embodiment Exchange Ecologies The dynamics of Agency are contextual and are often influenced by hierarchies that determine who speaks and when, whose voices are heard, listened to and valued, and which histories are written and passed on. Embodiment explores how a diversity of cultural traditions and historical encounters are written into and onto the body. In this sense encounters are embodied with the body potentially becoming a battleground for contesting normative, gendered and colonial models of what a body is, or can be. Exchange often describes the art of giving one thing and receiving another, sometimes at the expense of balances in power, gender, and mātauranga/knowledges. Ecologies are characterised by relationships within complex networks of natural, social and cultural systems. The cultural properties of land are determined by the specifics of worldviews that produce ways of engaging with and caring for the environment. In what ways can whenua/landscape be considered as medium rather than genre, and be used as a stimulant for conversations about ecological crises? Four keynote speakers will lead discussion on these themes. We are honoured to have Distinguished Professor Bob Jahnke speak about his own history of encounters and about living as an artist in Te Ao Māori with its inherent responsibilities to whanau, hapū and iwi. From Edinburgh, Professor Jill Burke joins us to explore the implications for the appearance of the female body of being under constant surveillance and policing, addressing the theme of embodiment. New York- based Dr Maura Reilly, previously Professor of Art Theory at the Queensland College of Art, Griffith University in Brisbane is known to many in our field for the game-changing book on agency which she published last year with Thames and Hudson, Curatorial Activism: Towards an Ethics of Curating. We are so grateful to these overseas speakers for putting their bodies and minds through the torment of long distance flying to join us here for these few days. Maura Reilly’s visit has been supported by the Chartwell Trust and Jill Burke’s by Faculty of Arts Research Support Funds. Unfortunately, due to recent surgery, Professor Geoffrey Batchen is unable to present the last key note, Going Postal: Photography and Exchange, and this will be read by Dr Sophia Powers who was appointed to the Marti Friedlander Lectureship in Photographic Practices and History at the University of Auckland in 2019. This conference has been organised collaboratively by the Elam School of Fine Arts, the Art History Department at the University of Auckland, St Paul Street Gallery at Auckland University of Technology, Whitecliffe College of the Arts and Unitec Institute of Technology with support from the Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki and the Chartwell Trust. We hope that you will enjoy the programme and your time with us in Tāmaki.

Since 1974 it has fostered the dissemination of knowledge and debate about art, curatorship, and artistic practice throughout the region. By increasing the visibility of Australasian artists, curators and writers and encouraging critical inquiry into their work, the Association plays an important role in supporting the resilience and sustainability of the local visual arts sector. The principal activities of the Association are the publication of the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Art (ANZJA), holding an annual conference, and administering annual prizes which recognise outstanding achievement across the local and international art publishing industry.

  • Venice's Giardini Della Biennale and the Geopolitics of Architecture
    FOLKLORIC MODERNISM: VENICE’S GIARDINI DELLA BIENNALE AND THE GEOPOLITICS OF ARCHITECTURE Joel Robinson This paper considers the national pavilions of the Venice Biennale, the largest and longest running exposition of contemporary art. It begins with an investigation of the post-fascist landscape of Venice’s Giardini della Biennale, whose built environment continued to evolve in the decades after 1945 with the construction of several new pavilions. With a view to exploring the architectural infrastructure of an event that has always billed itself as ‘international’, the paper asks how the mapping of national pavilions in this context might have changed to reflect the supposedly post-colonial and democratic aspirations of the West after the Second World War. Homing in on the nations that gained representation here in the 1950s and 60s, it looks at three of the more interesting architectural additions to the gardens: the pavilions for Israel, Canada and Brazil. These raise questions about how national pavilions are mobilised ideologically, and form/provide the basis for a broader exploration of the geopolitical superstructure of the Biennale as an institution. Keywords: pavilion, Venice Biennale, modernism, nationalism, geopolitics, postcolonialist. Joel Robinson, The Open University Joel Robinson is a Research Affiliate in the Department of Art History at the Open University and an Associate Lecturer for the Open University in the East of England. His main interests are modern and contemporary art, architecture and landscape studies. He is the author of Life in Ruins: Architectural Culture and the Question of Death in the Twentieth Century (2007), which stemmed from his doctoral work in art history at the University of Essex, and he is co-editor of a new anthology in art history titled Art and Visual Culture: A Reader (2012).

  • Life Stories of Robert Semple
    Copyright is owned by the Author of the thesis. Permission is given for a copy to be downloaded by an individual for the purpose of research and private study only. The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. From Coal Pit to Leather Pit: Life Stories of Robert Semple A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of a PhD in History at Massey University Carina Hickey 2010 ii Abstract In the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography Len Richardson described Robert Semple as one of the most colourful leaders of the New Zealand labour movement in the first half of the twentieth century. Semple was a national figure in his time and, although historians had outlined some aspects of his public career, there has been no full-length biography written on him. In New Zealand history his characterisation is dominated by two public personas. Firstly, he is remembered as the radical organiser for the New Zealand Federation of Labour (colloquially known as the Red Feds), during 1910-1913. Semple’s second image is as the flamboyant Minister of Public Works in the first New Zealand Labour government from 1935-49. This thesis is not organised in a chronological structure as may be expected of a biography but is centred on a series of themes which have appeared most prominently and which reflect the patterns most prevalent in Semple’s life. The themes were based on activities which were of perceived value to Semple. Thus, the thematic selection was a complex interaction between an author’s role shaping and forming Semple’s life and perceived real patterns visible in the sources.
