Cherie Mcnair Cherie McNair: Supporting Statement for Nomination Please accept this supporting statement for my nomination on the Board of ICOM for a 2year period commencing at the 2018 AGM. I have been an Executive Board Member of ICOM for 12 months and transferred my membership from a UK Membership to an Australian on my return to Australia in 2015/16. I have been an ICOM Member for a majority of my career and was first introduced to the concept as a Museum Studies Student at Deakin University. I have particularly enjoyed my time with ICOM over the past year with involvement in International Committees research, leading the International Museum Day working group and roll out of activity nationally, participation on the Awards working group and Partnerships working group. I’m a firm believer in participation when joining boards and believe I have general suitability for the Executive Committee of ICOM. I can commit to a 2 year term and can attest to my commitment to the Code of Ethics and the inherent value a membership of an organisation like ICOM has I have worked in museums and galleries for my entire career. I commenced volunteering at the Monash Gallery of Art at 16 years of age and continued to make a career in the industry. I have held numerous positons in regional, state and international museums, focused towards programs and development, strategy and delivery. I have successfully worked with the talented teams across multiple specialist areas at the National Gallery of Victoria, Victoria and Albert Museum, Tate, National Museums Scotland and Sydney Living Museums. I have delivered successful projects working with partners locally (Australia and in the UK) and internationally, which is where the work of ICOM Australia is particularly relevant. I bring to ICOM my experience in the process of development and translation of strategic planning, business planning and the overall understanding of museum process. This can translate intodeveloping strategies for an increase in engagement at grass roots level. I have dedicated my career to working with the amazing collections held by museums the world over and find personal inspiration in working with knowledgeable colleagues. I have spent the last twelve years working across an international program of multi-specialist and externally focused programmes. This has allowed me to develop extensive contacts in the museums and cultural sector and to maintain an open network to capitalise on opportunities and collaborations for ICOM. My previous role at Tate was externally focused and driven by soft diplomacy aims for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and the Department for Media, Communication and Sport. This included working closely with Immunity from Seizure legislation and broader topics on transference of cultural material, all of which ICOM plays a significant role. I believe it is important for Australia to have a voice and adequately represent its membership in these international conversations. ICOM is an important funnel for international conversations on issues facing the sector and involvement at a local level.

    WORLD OF THE BOOK Books are mirrors of many worlds: worlds here and distant, past and present, real and imagined. Through text and image, they act as keepers of ideas, of knowledge and of stories. This exhibition showcases many of the rare, beautiful and historically significant books held by this Library on behalf of the Victorian community. It celebrates the unique place of books in our hearts and minds, taking you on a journey through the history of book production, design and illustration, from the medieval era to the present day. BOOKS AND IDEAS ‘[T]he book is an extension of the eye...’ Marshall McLuhan The history of ideas is mirrored in the history of the book. Books have altered the course of history itself, through the dissemination of ideas that have changed how we think about the world and ourselves. In many cultures across different eras, books have played a highly symbolic and iconic role. There was a time when it was thought that the world’s knowledge could be collected between the covers of a book. The information explosion of recent times now makes it impossible to contain the world’s knowledge within one library, let alone in one book, yet books continue to be a powerful means of informing and inspiring new generations. The Dome Galleries You are standing in what was once the book stacks for the whole library. This photograph shows the storage of ‘elephant folios’ (very large books) in this very spot. Librarians used the spiral metal stairs to retrieve the books requested by readers sitting at desks below in the Dome Reading Room.

    Up in the sky, behind the clouds Brenda L. Croft I do what I do because I like doing it, I’m not chasing fame … Photography is just a medium for me, a way of putting across my views and images to the world. It’s no big deal.1 Big sky. Flat, open plains. Scudding clouds, as if swept across the canvas by a colossal invisible hand. The plane shudders as its landing gear drops – clunk – and, when its wing dips to the right, the black soil of Moree rises up in greeting. I was travelling there to meet with the family and friends of Michael Riley (1960– 2004), whose mother’s people were part of the Moree Kamilaroi community, and whose father’s people came from the red-soil western plains of Dubbo, Wiradjuri country, to the south, where I had travelled some weeks earlier. How do you measure a person’s life? Through their creative output? Their traces left behind, the memento mori? Through the reminiscences of others, in the spoken and written word? Through their family, their ancestors and descendants? Michael left us physically in August 2004, aged 44, suffering the after- effects of childhood poverty – the fate of too many Indigenous people in Australia, a First-World country, where the majority of the Indigenous people continue to live in Third-World conditions. By any standards Michael’s life was extraordinary and he has left behind a body of work that encompasses the complexity of contemporary Aboriginal life in myriad forms: portraiture, social-documentary and conceptual photography and film, and fine-art film.
