  • On Site : Installations by Tom Arthur
    ON SITE INSTALLATIONS BY TOM ARTHUR JULIE BROWN ELIZABETH GOWER HOSSEIN VALAMANESH Tasmanian School of Art Gallery, This exhibition was assisted by the University of Tasmania, Commonwealth Government through the Visual Mt Nelson Campus, Hobart, Arts Board, Australia Council. September 4 - October 27, 1984 ISBN 0 85901 258 1 p.l PREFACE Fundamental to the Tasmanian School of Art Gallery Committee's exhibition policy is the commitment to exhibit work from outside Tas­ mania. Normally the selected works are re­ ceived in crates, unpacked and displayed. Occasionally the artist may be present to install the work or to participate in con­ current lectures/seminars. The latter can give greater meaning to the completed work, but rarely is there an opportunity to witness the work in progress. The Gallery exists within an art school, and this exhibition was intended to extend the normal educative role of exhibitions. Each artist spent approximately two weeks "in residence", developing and completing a work. The piece didn't have to be "site specific", so preliminary work could commence prior to arrival. However, it was essential that further evolution took place on site. There was no intended thematic link between the four artists; buf what they had in common was a body of work which illustrated an ability to participate within the exhibition's frame­ work and an involvement in a range of disciplines (without any being easily cate­ gorized within any particular discipline). The diversity proved to be a considerable asset. Not only did the audience gain an insight into the range of conceptual posi­ tions of four professional artists, but also into the individual pre-occupations and idio­ syncracies of their particular art practice.

    LA MITOLOGÍA CLÁSICA EN LOS MUSEOS DE AUSTRALIA MIGUEL ÁNGEL GARCÍA NAVARRETE & ANTONIO R. NAVARRETE ORCERA IES San Juan de la Cruz (Úbeda, Jaén) [email protected] Resumen Este trabajo es fruto de un viaje a Australia en busca de mitología y naturaleza virgen. Se visitan tres importantes museos: Art Gallery of New South Wales (Sydney), Nati onal Gallery of Victoria (Melbourne) y Art Gallery of South Australia (Adelaida), que sorprenden tanto por la cantidad como por la belleza de las obras mitológicas contenidas en ellos. Palabras clave Australia, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaida, museos de arte, mitología, pintura. Abstract This work is the result of a trip to Australia, trying to find mythology and nature. Three major museums have been visited: Art Gallery of New South Wales (Sydney), National Gallery of Victoria (Melbourne) and Art Gallery of South Australia (Adelaida). All of them are impressive not only because of the number, but also the beauty of their mythological works of art. Key words Australia, Sydney, Melbourn, Adelaida, Art Gallery, mythology, painting.

NAVARRETE ORCERA 442 A las bellezas naturales que de por sí ofrece el continente australiano, se añade otra no menos atractiva, la de albergar mitología, en sus museos y en sus calles. Así lo pudimos comprobar mi sobrino Miguel Ángel —coautor de este trabajo— y yo mismo en un reciente viaje a tres de las principales ciudades de Australia: Sydney, Melbourne y Adelaida. Nos sorprendió encontrar en ellas tantas —y tan bellas— obras de mitología, que nos dio la impresión de estar en casa, a pesar de los miles de kilómetros que nos separaban.

  • The Iconography of Arthur Boyd Lecturer: Kendrah Morgan 29/30 August 2018
    Art Appreciation Lecture Series 2018 The Hidden Language of Art: Symbol and Allusion. Lecture title: The Iconography of Arthur Boyd Lecturer: Kendrah Morgan 29/30 August 2018 Lecture summary: Acclaimed artist Arthur Boyd (1920–1999) was a master in a range of media but most widely recognised for the extraordinary allegorical paintings that he produced in series across the course of his long career. This lecture focuses on how Boyd developed his distinctive and deeply personal symbolic language, exploring the evolution and meaning of specific motifs and how he applied and extended these in key sequences of paintings to create images of universal and lasting relevance. While Boyd’s work is stylistically diverse, his iconography is remarkably consistent, allowing us to identify what inspired and drove him, and made him one of the most important Australian artists of the twentieth century.

WALL BOY WALL BOY is a sensitive account of the issues facing vulnerable young people in contemporary Australian society. The film is both unsettling and brave in its dramatisation of the fractured world of a vulnerable adolescent. Some students may find the references to sex and drugs too confronting and the dimensions of the narrative too upsetting. This study guide accompanies the short fiction film WALL BOY by Shark Island Productions, makers of THE OASIS documentary. It has been written for senior secondary students and practitioners, and provides information and suggestions for learning activities in English, Drama, Health and Human Development, Media, Religion and Society, VCE VET Community Services and curriculum projects exploring social justice issues in contemporary Australian society. WALL BOY could also be shown to teachers as part of professional development sessions addressing student welfare and pastoral care. Some of the questions and activities in this study guide will be of use to organisations, community groups and counselling services that support vulnerable young people. WALL BOY is the story of a vulnerable sixteen- year-old boy forced to work as a male sex worker at a notorious spot in inner city Sydney called The Wall.

  • 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.
