CCP is responsive to artists and the ever-changing nature and uses of this magical medium. From emerging through to established artists; from vintage prints, analogue, digital and alternative technologies; from $400 to $12,000; there is something here for you to desire and to purchase. THE ART OF COLLECTING CCP supporters and keen observers of contemporary photography, I commend to you the 2018 CCP Fundraiser exhibition, The Art of Collecting. Cast your eyes across the magnificent work offered in this catalogue and consult your heart: what will be your choice in purchasing some of the best in contemporary Australian photography as well as supporting the august Centre for Contemporary Photography. You are invited to peruse this catalogue and make your astute choice prior to 6 pm Thursday 17 May, when internationally renowned star of the art world, the eminently collectable Tracey Moffatt opens The Art of Collecting. This year photographs by some of Australia’s most highly collectable contemporary artists are offered for sale. And for those who are dipping their toes in the rich and exciting waters of collecting art for the first time, we present a wall of work by brilliant rising stars, commencing at the entry level price of $400. Each artist has generously donated either 80% or 100% of their work in support of CCP. Your support in purchasing work is respected and above all, vital to our ability to create opportunities for artists and audiences of the future. During The Art of Collecting event CCP will also auction an astonishingly rare experience: a private tour by the equally renowned artist, Patricia Piccinini of her studio complex, Drome Studios. You and three of your friends will meet one of Australia’s most successful and articulate artists and be treated to a behind the scenes tour of her remarkable work. I thank the artists and their representatives whose outstanding generosity makes this fundraiser possible, and the many supporters and sponsors recognised on page 22.

    THE cancer puzzle patterns, paradoxes and personalities Medical History Museum, University of Melbourne The story of cancer is complex and extremely personal. One in two Australian men and one in three Australian women will be diagnosed with cancer by the age of 85. For generations, doctors and researchers have been searching for remedies for this disease, which has long been shrouded in fear and dread. While surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are still the main treatments, radically new approaches and technologies are emerging, together with a much more sophisticated understanding of the causes and very nature of cancer. Central to the story of cancer in Victoria has been the contribution of the University of Melbourne, in undertaking fundamental and applied research, developing treatments, training clinicians and scientists, educating the public, and advocating for change. Significant figures in the Melbourne Medical School, such as Professor Peter MacCallum, have helped build the infrastructure that underpins cancer services for the Victorian community. The cancer puzzle: Patterns, paradoxes and personalities explores the roles of individuals, public education campaigns and research efforts, as well as revealing patients’ insights through the work and writings of three contemporary artists who have cancer. the cancer puzzle PATTERNS, PARADOXES AND PERSONALITIES Edited by Jacqueline Healy Medical History Museum University of Melbourne Contents Foreword vii Published 2017 by the Medical History Museum, The exhibition The cancer puzzle: Patterns, paradoxes and personalities, Professor Mark Cook Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences, curated by Dr Jacqueline Healy, was held at the Medical History University of Melbourne, Victoria, 3010, Australia Museum, University of Melbourne, from 1 August 2017 to Sponsor’s message ix 24 February 2018.

  • Polixeni Papapetrou, Photographer with an Eerie Eye, Dies at 57 April 27, 2018
    Polixeni Papapetrou, Photographer With an Eerie Eye, Dies at 57 April 27, 2018 In “I Once Was,” from her 2018 series, “My Heart,” Ms. Papapetrou placed herself in a series for the first time with this photograph. Polixeni Papapetrou, a photographer known for whimsical, eerie, somewhat disturbing pictures that often featured her children and their friends in odd costumes, died on April 11 in Fitzroy, Australia, near Melbourne. She was 57. The cause was breast cancer, said her husband, Robert Nelson, an art critic and professor at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. “Study for Hattah Man and Hattah Woman” (2013), from the series “The Ghillies.” Ms. Papapetrou put three children in pigs’ heads and pink outfits for a 2009 work called “The Harvesters,” an interpretation of the 1857 Jean- François Millet painting “The Gleaners.” She put her son, Solomon, in camouflage gear used by the Australian military and in military-themed video games for a 2013 series called “The Ghillies.” (The title referred to a specific type of camouflage suit.) But perhaps her most attention-getting picture was of her daughter, Olympia, at age 5 or 6 (news accounts differ), sitting on a rock naked; it ran on the cover of Art Monthly Australia magazine in July 2008 and fueled a controversy that was already underway over whether such imagery sexualized young children. The furor died down, and Ms. Papapetrou continued to make her distinctive photographs, exhibiting regularly in Australia as well as in New York, New Jersey, China, Greece, Germany and elsewhere. Her works were striking in their strange simplicity yet evoked deep emotions and archetypes.

  • Stories from the Other Side
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Polixeni Papapetrou: Stories from the Other Side April 4 – June 1, 2013 Opening Reception: Thursday, April 4, 6 – 8 PM Discussion with Susan Bright Thursday, April 4, 7 PM Hattah Man and Hattah Woman Study, 2012, pigment print, ed. of 8, 27 ½ x 41 3/8 in New York Jenkins Johnson Gallery, New York, is pleased to present Stories from the Other Side, a solo exhibition of photographs by Polixeni Papapetrou. The exhibition features two of Papapetrou’s most recently completed series, The Ghillies and Between Worlds, and will be her first solo show with Jenkins Johnson Gallery in New York. There will be an opening reception on Thursday, April 4 from 6 to 8 pm, which will feature a discussion with writer and curator Susan Bright at 7 pm. Accompanying the exhibition will be a full color catalogue entitled ”The Ghillies” with an essay by Chris Healy, Associate Professor of Cultural Studies at the University of Melbourne. Australian photographer Polixeni Papapetrou creates darkly whimsical images that grapple with conceptual definitions of childhood, both historically and in contemporary society. Addressing what it means to be a child, Papapetrou uses her work to argue that the institution of childhood is an adult construct created to satisfy roles in society. Like Bill Henson and Sally Mann, Papapetrou encountered controversy when a 2003 photograph of her nude six-year-old daughter, Olympia, entitled Olympia as Lewis Carroll’s Beatrice Hatch Before White Cliffs, graced the cover of Art Monthly Australia. Complaints of child pornography and violations of child protection legislation followed, and Papapetrou began photographing children wearing masks or with their faces obscured as a way to remove the childhood identity and add an element of layering to the figures.

Or similarly, returning on a regular basis, from 1986 to 1993, to the Melbourne General Cemetery in Carlton to photograph earnest Elvis Presley fans in their annual homage. Polixeni Papapetrou was inspired as much by her love of Diane Arbus’s photography as her outsider status as the child of immigrants with a profound respect for difference, in a period in Australia where being Greek was not considered particularly glamorous. From the outset Papapetrou addressed her subject with respect, rigour, determination and a fine understanding of photography’s history and theory.
