The Memory of Place: Judy Watson and Julie Gough Art Appreciation Lecture Series 2017 Site Specific: The power of place The memory of Place: Julie Gough and Judy Watson Mr Stephen Gilchrist, Associate Lecturer, Art History, University of Sydney 21st and 22nd June 2017 Lecture summary: Like the pools of pigment and washes of ochre that seep slowly into her canvases, Judy Watson (Waanyi, born 1959) absorbs the stories of the Waanyi people to create works of art that resonate with cultural memory. Through listening to oral histories, delving into official records and travelling into country, Watson has developed a visual language that responds to the pre-contact and post-colonial experiences of her people. While much of the artist’s oeuvre work is concerned with the specifics of northwest Queensland, Watson’s career has been punctuated by many residencies in Australia and overseas, and these opportunities have engendered a sensitivity to the politics of place. Similarly, Julie Gough (Trawlwoolway, born 1965) invites viewers to revisit events, places and practices to counteract the selective accounts of Tasmanian History. Gough’s strength as an artist lies in her ability to underscore the amnesiac tendencies of contemporary Australian society in ways that are uncompromising and achingly beautiful. Through her experiential and interrogative practice she models the importance of self-involvement in these historical narratives and demonstrates the value of gathering the past into the present occasioning moments of personal and national understanding.

  • Tasmanian Aboriginality at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery
    Article Type: Original Article Corresponding author mail-id: [email protected] “THIS EXHIBITION IS ABOUT NOW”: Tasmanian Aboriginality at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery Christopher Berk UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN ABSTRACT This article focuses on the design and execution of two exhibits about Tasmanian Aboriginality at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery. The first is a Tasmanian Aboriginal group exhibit from 1931, which was heavily informed by ideologies of Tasmanian primitivity and extinction. The second is the 2008 tayenebe, a celebration of the resurgence of fiber work among Tasmanian Aboriginal women. In each instance, the Tasmanian Aboriginal people are on display, but the level of community control and subtext is notably different. This article builds on discussions of cultural revitalization and reclamation by showing the process and how it is depicted for public consumption. [cultural revitalization, representation, indigeneity, Tasmania, Australia] Australia’s Aboriginal peoples have been central to how anthropologists have historically thought about progress and difference. Tasmania’s Aboriginal peoples receive less attention, both in Australia and in discussions of global indigenous movements. Before and after their supposed extinction in 1876, they were considered the most “primitive” culture ever documented (Darwin 2004; Stocking 1987; Tylor 1894; among many others). Ideologies of primitivism have historically been perpetuated and disseminated by cultural institutions around the world. James Clifford (1997) recounts a 1989 community consultation meeting with Tlingit representatives at the Portland Museum of Art during which the Tlingit Author Manuscript people told politically motivated tales about community concerns like land rights. The story of This is the author manuscript accepted for publication and has undergone full peer review but has not been through the copyediting, typesetting, pagination and proofreading process, which may lead to differences between this version and the Version of Record.

  • Making an Expedition of Herself: Lady Jane Franklin As Queen of the Tasmanian Extinction Narrative
    Making an Expedition of Herself: Lady Jane Franklin as Queen of the Tasmanian Extinction Narrative AMANDA JOHNSON University of Melbourne Figure 1. Julie Gough, Ebb Tide (1998). © Ricky Maynard/Licensed by Viscopy, 2015. Image courtesy the artist and STILLS Gallery JASAL: Journal of the Association for the Study of Australian Literature 14.5 In her site-specific installation Ebb Tide (The Whispering Sands) (Figure 1) from 1998, the artist Julie Gough constructs sixteen pyrographically inscribed life-size, two-dimensional figures of British colonialists who collected Tasmanian Aboriginal people and cultural materials for ethnographic purposes. Gough’s matriarchal Aboriginal family comes from far north-east Tasmania, Tebrikunna, where her ancestor Woretemoeteyenner, one of the four daughters of the warrior Mannalargenna, was born around 1797. Installed across a tidal flat at Eaglehawk Neck in southern Tasmania, one image shows the smiling, half-submerged colonial Governor’s wife Jane Franklin, who is neither arriving nor departing, waving nor drowning.1 The figure derives from a youthful portrait of Franklin by Amélie Romilly that was globally disseminated by Franklin herself across her lifetime (reproduced in Alexander, insert 198a). One cannot be sure whether the figure, as with any fragment or talisman of history, will be submerged, exposed or worn away. The white colonial authority figure loses its historical power as the water rises and settles, bleaching the pigment down. So Gough critiques the tragically dislocating ethnographic obsessions of early settler colonists, who are disabled and flattened, reduced to two-dimensional incursions in a space which, heretofore, they have forcibly, dimensionally occupied. Tasmania has recently produced and/or inspired a stockpile of literary postcolonial novels, including realist, burlesque, and mythopoetic treatments of cannibalism, violent miscegenation, genocide and natural species extinction narratives.

  • Julie Gough: Hunting Ground Julie Gough’S Forensic Archaeology of National Forgetting
    JULIE GOUGH: HUNTING GROUND JULIE GOUGH’S FORENSIC ARCHAEOLOGY OF NATIONAL FORGETTING By Joseph Pugliese In the course of his essay, “What is a Nation,” the nineteenth-century French historian Ernest Renan catalogues the acts of violence that are constitutive of the processes of nation building. He then pauses to reflect on the role of forgetting: Forgetting, I would even say historical error, is an essential factor in the creation of a nation and it is for this reason that progress of historical studies often poses a threat to nationality. Historical inquiry, in effect, throws light on the violent acts that have taken place at the origin of every political formation, even those that have been most benevolent in their consequences. Unity is always brutally achieved. 1 Renan’s insight into the constitutive roles that violence and forgetting play in the foundation of a nation powerfully resounds in the context of the Australian colonial state. From the moment that the Australian continent was invaded and colonized by the British in 1788, it witnessed both random and systematic campaigns of attempted Indigenous genocide. The collective acts of resistance deployed by Australia’s Indigenous people in order to defend their unceded lands and to safeguard their very lives provoked settler campaigns of massacre in order to secure possession of the continent and its islands. This genocidal violence sits at the very heart of the history of the Australian nation-state. Yet, when cast in the context of Renan’s astute observations, the violence of this history is precisely what had to be forgotten by non-Indigenous Australians in order to preserve the myth of the Australian nation as a state that has never experienced war on its own terrain.

  • Julie Gough Lorraine Biggs
    Julie Gough INTERRUPTED: RENDITIONS OF UNRESOLVED ACCOUNTS Lorraine Biggs RESILIENCE 10 August - 8 September 2007 Opening 6 - 8pm Friday 10 August Turner Galleries is very pleased to present two solo exhibitions by artists Julie Gough and Lorraine Biggs. I have seen Julie Gough at work, sitting on a curb side, patiently protecting cut and fallen branches from the ravages of the tree loppers. She sees in them, a wooden shelter. She carefully cuts the limbs so that they will form the structure to support a tent. Draped with canvas it will become the object onto which an image is projected, telling the story of early white settlement in Australia. Other works manifest further investigations, which take her deep into history, time and place. Julie searches libraries, institutions, op shops and second hand markets. She works, as a detective, uncovering facts and stories and filling the gaps of a shadowy past, a forgotten reality and the all too easily altered truth, of the history, of the Tasmanian Aboriginal people. The installation works in her exhibition INTERRUPTED renditions of unresolved accounts reveal more of the story and ask us to evaluate the impact of the past on our present lives. Julie Gough is sponsored by the Turner Galleries Art Angels and Curtin University and is our second resident artist for 2007. She holds a Doctorate of Fine Arts from the University of Tasmania, Hobart and is currently taking leave from her job at James Cook University Townsville, to undertake two years of projects, funded by an Australia Council Fellowship. Her work is held in the National Gallery of Australia, the National Gallery of Victoria, The Art Gallery of South Australia, The Art Gallery of Western Australia and various museums, regional galleries and private collections.
