  • Official Opening of the Gartland Exhibition
    THE HON RICHARD MARLES MP DEPUTY LEADER OF THE AUSTRALIAN LABOR PARTY SHADOW MINISTER FOR DEFENCE MEMBER FOR CORIO KEY NOTE ADDRESS – OFFICIAL OPENING OF THE GARTLAND EXHIBITION GEELONG, VICTORIA THURSDAY, 19 SEPTEMBER 2019 ***CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY*** Art is the highest form of expression of the human spirit. After the chores of life, food, shelter, work; art is what we do. Just as the exquisite plumage is to the bird of paradise, art is the human signature and it is what we leave behind. From the rock paintings of Kakadu, to the Terracotta Warriors, to the Mona Lisa, art comes in an infinite variety of forms but what underpins all of it is identity. An ancient culture telling its stories, a society giving an expression of the afterlife, a portrait of a mysterious woman, all of these are voices from the distant past telling us who they are. In this exhibition “The Greatest Team of All”, in this our gallery, there is the best telling of the story of who we are that you will ever see. The creation of this exhibition by Bob Gartland, is itself an astounding work of art. It is the closest that we will get to the distillation of Geelong’s identity. And that is important, because over the journey our identity has gone through many changes. From our incorporation as a city in 1849 by an act of the NSW Parliament as a port of a fledgling far flung settlement, to a gateway to the Gold Rush, to the centre of national action when Australia rode on the back of the sheep, a country town an industrial centre, to the present day when we are perhaps writing the next chapter in Geelong’s identity, a university town, a centre of public insurance, a lifestyle city.
