Planning for growth has been an interesting journey, which at times seemed unachievable, but in the words of Kev Carmody and Paul Kelly ‘from little things big things grow’. Each year we make significant inroads into our action plan and this year is no different. This year, it is all about the numbers: our total attendance of 187,301 is a record, the largest visitation the Art Gallery of Ballarat has ever seen thanks to the great success of the 2015 Archibald Prize exhibition along with our diverse exhibition schedule. This year we: • had 56,915 visitors who paid to attend an exhibition, and 130,386 visitors who enjoyed free entry to exhibitions; • ran thirty-six exhibitions (thirty of which were self- curated/initiated exhibitions) resulting in 1,692 exhibition days; • hosted almost 130 public program events, such as workshops, lectures, concerts etc; • had 10,084 children/youth in our Education programs; • added 280 new artworks to the collection as either purchases, bequests, gifts or Cultural Gifts. Highlights include a Hubert von Herkomer portrait, indigenous portraits in print, Eureka-related drawings from the 1860s, a work by Julia Silvester, Danny Moynihan prints and Kevin Lincoln works; • created a series of in-house publications, including the beautiful Kevin Lincoln catalogue, including the limited- edition copies; • made the decision to take control of the café lease and appoint Kittelty’s as the café operators last year, a move which has turned our street frontage into a vibrant café and entrance area. 4 We are halfway through our 2014–18 Strategic Plan ‘Building deal of oversight. The ongoing MOU discussions this year for the Future’ and this year’s milestones continue to highlighted more issues with the current governance deliver on our four key building pillars: to build an inspiring structures of and the relationships between the Gallery exhibition schedule, and to build our footprint, build our Board, Association, Foundation and Guides.

    1 ABSOLUTELY MODERN A NEW Film BY PHILIPPE MORA “Modern paintings are like women, you'll never enjoy them if you try to understand them.” Freddie Mercury PRESS KIT Inquiries: morafilms@ gmail.com https://www.facebook.com/pages/Absolutely- Modern/429822753746917 2 ABSOLUTELY MODERN is "Absolutely funny, fresh and thought- provoking. Philippe Mora at his best." Piotr Czerkawski, Film Critic Wroclaw “..there is a genuine heart and soul to the film that is something of a passion project for Mora.” Laurence Boyce Screen Daily “The creation here (of Lord Steinway) is definitely a masterpiece.” Anna Tatarska FRED Radio, The Festival Insider “Mora’s films break all conventions, combine different styles and are nearly always saturated with rebellious, surrealistic humor.” Adam Kruk Film Critic, New Horizons “Mora tells perhaps one of his most personal stories to date as he examines art and modernism. Mora, who casual fans would most likely know from such films as Communion and cult classic The Return of Captain Invincible, unsurprisingly does not tell the tale with any regard for the norms of convention..” Screen International “Philippe Mora…French Australian director legend.” Der Spiegel May 2013 3 SYNOPSIS OF THE FILM This story of Modernism, muses and the role of sexuality in art are told by famed art critic Lord Steinway. When a soccer player, confronts Steinway as his son, the story takes a modernist twist itself. This comedy hit at the 2013 New Horizons International Film Festival takes the form of a hybrid of fact and fiction about Lord Steinway, the “Method” art critic, making his television show THE EPIC OF CIVILIZATION.

  • Thesis Title
    Creating a Scene: The Role of Artists’ Groups in the Development of Brisbane’s Art World 1940-1970 Judith Rhylle Hamilton Bachelor of Arts (Hons) University of Queensland Bachelor of Education (Arts and Crafts) Melbourne State College A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2014 School of English, Media Studies and Art History ii Abstract This study offers an analysis of Brisbane‘s art world through the lens of artists‘ groups operating in the city between 1940 and 1970. It argues that in the absence of more extensive or well-developed art institutions, artists‘ groups played a crucial role in the growth of Brisbane‘s art world. Rather than focusing on an examination of ideas about art or assuming the inherently ‗philistine‘ and ‗provincial‘ nature of Brisbane‘s art world, the thesis examines the nature of the city‘s main art institutions, including facilities for art education, the art market, conservation and collection of art, and writing about art. Compared to the larger Australian cities, these dimensions of the art world remained relatively underdeveloped in Brisbane, and it is in this context that groups such as the Royal Queensland Art Society, the Half Dozen Group of Artists, the Younger Artists‘ Group, Miya Studios, St Mary‘s Studio, and the Contemporary Art Society Queensland Branch provided critical forms of institutional support for artists. Brisbane‘s art world began to take shape in 1887 when the Queensland Art Society was founded, and in 1940, as the Royal Queensland Art Society, it was still providing guidance for a small art world struggling to define itself within the wider network of Australian art.
