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.

  • Inge King Eulogy
    Inge King Memorial Service NGV Great Hall, Monday 9 May 2016, 10:30 am I’m deeply honoured to be speaking today about Inge’s extraordinary career. I’m conscious of there being many others eminently qualified to speak, including Professors Judith Trimble and Sasha Grishin, each of whom have published eloquent monographs on Inge, and Professors Margaret Plant and Jenny Zimmer, who have both written informed, extended essays for two of Inge’s earliest survey exhibitions. In addition the NGV’s curator of Australian art, David Hurlston, and former NGV curator and recently retired director of the Geelong Gallery, Geoffrey Edwards, have both worked closely with Inge in the sensitive presentation of two retrospectives held here at the gallery, in 1992 and 2014. In the presence of such a wealth of knowledge and experience, I’m frankly humbled to have been asked to speak. I’d like to briefly mention how I came to know Inge, if only to contextualise my appearance here. Inge was arguably the best-known member of the Centre Five group, which forms the subject of my PhD thesis. I began reading about her work in 2008, while still living in Ireland and planning a return to Australia after a nine-year absence. The reading prompted faint memories of seeing her work at the Queensland Art Gallery while still a student in Brisbane. The following year, six months after embarking on doctoral studies at Melbourne University, I finally met my appointed supervisor, Professor Charles Green, who had until then been on sabbatical. One of the first things he said to me at that meeting was: ‘Now, you do know I’m Inge King’s godson, don’t you?’ Well, no, I didn’t.

    MENZIES AUSTRALIAN & INTERNATIONAL FINE ART & SCULPTURE Sydney 24 September 2015 Several of the best works in this sale are well above the buying budgets of my clients, so as usual I have not written about them. This is a shame, because if any of you has a spare $350,000, Ian Fairweather’s Fascismo is a superb late painting and easily museum standard. But overall it’s an interesting sale containing some unusual and offbeat items. So I have taken the opportunity to introduce some new artists I’ve not previously recommended, and to reiterate my enthusiasm for a couple of others I’ve had little success with. Other works I’ve not recommended because I have no-one collecting in the area, for example the two terrific 1973 prints by US pop master Jim Dine, or the 1976 screenprint by Bridget Riley, the major figure in the international op art movement. I hope you enjoy seeing some new artists and, as always, I am very pleased to discuss any works of interest to you that I have not included in the presentation. JOHN CRUTHERS rococo pop pty ltd In a recent sale I recommended a painting by Albert Tucker called Woman 1950, of a prostitute standing in a doorway in a bombed-out looking Paris. I commented that the years Tucker spent overseas, roughly 1947-60, represented a highpoint in his work. He saw a lot of great art, worked hard and strove to produce work that measured up to the best contemporary art he was seeing. The current work is a study in which Tucker tries a variety of stylistic devices borrowed from late cubism to depict the female form in interior space.

In 1989, Roger Butler, the then President of the Print Council, and Curator of Australian Prints at the National Gallery of Australia invited Grahame King to speak at the First Australian Print Symposium. His presentation concerned the early history of the Print Council. In later discussions with Roger Butler he offered his papers relating to the formation and running of the Print Council to the National Gallery of Australia. This small collection includes papers that document Grahame King’s activities with the PCA, the adult education classes he taught and lectures he gave for university courses. The majority of documents comprising this collection are administrative and relate to the PCA; other material includes correspondence, newspaper clippings, financial records and copies of published articles.

  • Antarctic Animation: Gestures and Lines Describe a Changing Environment
    Antarctic Animation: Gestures and lines describe a changing environment By Lisa Roberts A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy College of Fine Arts, The University of New South Wales. October 2010 Dedication I dedicate this work with love to my children Josef and Katherine, grandchildren Joshua and Benjamin, and to my teachers Lenton Parr, Simon Pockley and Kathryn Yeo. i Abstract The need to engage the public with accurate information about climate change is urgent. Antarctica has become the focus of research for scientists and artists who seek to understand the complex forces at work. Different perceptions of Antarctica are surveyed. These perceptions are expressed through data sets, art works, dances, words, tones of voice and gestures. An iconography of primal gestural forms is iden- tified that has been used since pre-history to make visible expressions of connection to the natural world. The primary research methodology is practice-based. Interviews with expedi- tioners, online responses and improvised movement workshops are used as sources for animations and art works. Animated forms arise from circling, spiraling, and crossing gestures. These ancient choreographies describe the dynamic structures that shape the Antarctic ecosystem and reflect structures within the body through which they are generated. Animations are presented at international conferences and exhibitions of Antarc- tic arts and sciences. An online log is used to display the animations and invite responses. The responses are evaluated. Archetypal gestural forms are found to expand the meaning of climate change data. Recognition of these primal forms (as body knowledge) is found to add a dimension of meaning to scientific information that is an essential component of accurate communication.
