  • 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.

    JUMP ON BOARD HIGH-PERFORMING NOT-FOR-PROFIT BOARDS IN FUNDRAISING November 2019 PREPARED BY Melissa Smith Director & Founder, Noble Ambition in partnership with Perpetual ABOUT THE AUTHOR Melissa is former Global Fundraiser of the Year (IFC, 2011) and Australian Fundraiser of the Year (FIA, 2011). She has facilitated philanthropic giving across education, the arts and health, and worked with hundreds of donors in Australia, Asia and the United States. Melissa has led four fundraising programs from start-up to established, from Powerhouse Museum and Sydney Opera House in the arts, to University of Technology, Sydney and RMIT University, in education. Melissa has a BA Hons (First Class, USyd), Masters of Management (UTS); is a Churchill Fellow (2007) and a graduate of University of Melbourne’s Asialink Leaders Program and Benevolent Society’s Sydney Leadership Program. She has presented her research internationally in areas including the impact of culture on philanthropy, international best practice in arts philanthropy, and the role of leadership in philanthropy. Melissa’s lifelong interest and experience enables her to understand both philanthropy and fundraising. As a thought leader in the philanthropic and fundraising sector, she is in the privileged position of possessing the practical and strategic skills to support both pillars equally. Jump on Board: High-performing not-for-profit boards in fundraising 2 Philanthropic fundraising in Australia is in a state of rapid change. While mass giving is in decline, major gifts are on the rise, and in coming years we will see the largest intergenerational transfer of wealth in our nation’s history. This undoubtedly presents an exciting opportunity for the non-for-profit (NFP) sector to attract significant support, but also raises questions about how prepared NFPs are to maximise this opportunity.

    NORTHERN TERRITORY LAW JOURNAL Volume 3, Number 2 September 2016 ARTICLES Ethics and etiquette – Justice Graham Hiley RFD and Kate Bulling Expanding on the presentation given by the Hon Justice Graham Hiley at the 2015 Criminal Lawyers Association of the Northern Territory Conference, this article provides both newly admitted and more experienced practitioners with a sound basis for understanding the origins and sources of legal ethics and the potential consequences for practitioners who fall foul of their duties. ................................. 59 The right to silence – David Morters This article considers the meaning of the concept, its historical origins and development in the case law, the arguments for and against modification and the effectiveness of changes that have been introduced in England and New South Wales. Finally, it expresses a conclusion about how best the balance can be struck between the interests of the individual and the state on this much debated topic. ........................................................................................................ 77 Driving whilst disqualified – A case for change – Julian R Murphy and Hugo Moodie This article highlights the authors’ concern at the approach of Northern Territory courts to sentencing for the offence of driving whilst disqualified. Particular concern is expressed at the impact on Indigenous Territorians.
