Walking And Mapping: Artists As Cartographers By Karen O'Rourke (Review), Michael Leggett

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

In Walking and Mapping, both senses of the term "mapping" are caught up in a detailed hagiography of artists who, in one way or another, engage with movement through space, mainly as walkers. Records of the experience, by both the participants and the creators of the artworks, are mapped across both contemporary and historical time spectrums.

The Boundary Riders: Artists In Academia / Artists And Academia, Sarah B. Miller, Brogan S. Bunt

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

This paper seeks to explore the challenges and the rewards of supervision from two perspectives: artists who are employed as lecturers within the academy and mature artists returning to the academy to undertake a higher degree by research.

The University of Wollongong introduced its Doctorate of Creative Arts (DCA) program in 1986. As one of the earliest doctoral programs in the country, this apparent perspicacity was arguably more to do with Creative Arts as a resident faculty within the University, and the need to work within a university framework. This is in contradistinction to the forced marriages undertaken between many …

Imag(In)Ing The Pacific: Modernist Women Artists, Anne A. Collett

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

It was all very risque and, indeed quite shocking. Vanessa Stephen would marry Clive Bell, and make her name as an English modernist painter and designer; Virginia, would marry Leonard Woolf, and make her name at the vanguard of experimental English modernist literature. Virginia would be the more famous, or possibly, infamous, of the sisters, being the mover and shaker of the Bloomsbury Group - a nucleus of primarily male, primarily Oxbridge-educated intellectuals who began meeting regularly at the house of the sisters in Gordon Square, Bloomsbury, London, in the first decade of the 20th century. Here they discussed all …

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

In contemporary art and culture, we are living within a constant flood of images, diluting our attention spans. Wollongong-based artist Teo Treloar would like to challenge our state, and to bring us back to central focus. He practices in painting and drawing, usually within an intimate scale, and uses a muted colour palette and minimal, relaxed tones.

Fairy Knoll; Johais Hancock And An Apparition In The Sky; Light Well Conduit - Works Of Art Exhibited In The Exhibition The Ipswich House: Heritage House Portraits By Contemporary Queensland Artists, Madeleine T. Kelly

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

On its completion in 1901, Thoman Hancock Junior's grand residence, Fairy Knoll, afforded an enviable view of Ipswich and its surrounds. Its prestigious hill top site overlooking Limestone Park amply reflected the position occupied by the Hancock family in Ispwich society and the material culmination of Hancock's successful business career as a timber merchant.

Artists Talk: Listen To The Imagination, Francesca T. Rendle-Short

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

How does the imagination work? How do artists working in different forms move from the very beginning of an idea to something they are ready to share with the world? How do artists - even the most experienced - contend with the possibility of failure? And, how do we develop a robust reflective and creative practice in our creative writing programs? This article doesn't pretend to answer these questions explicitly, rather, in its own elliptical style, it explores the possibilities of creation, how to express the inexpressible, how to share the most nascent of ideas. It introduces the reader to …

Soft Attack: Artists Against Militarism, Jonathan P. Cockburn, Denis Mizzi, George Alexander

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

The image of the work is the death's head, the skull. A universal and extremely familiar if not hackneyed symbol. One that continues to pop up in such places as: Shakespeare's HAMLET ... Hitler's EUROPE ... Truman's JAPAN ... Kissinger's CHILE . . . Kissinger and Nixon and Mao and Frazer's VIETNAM and KAMPUCEA ... Sukarto and Whit lam's TIMOR ... Reagan and Breznev's AFGHANISTAN .. . Reagan's EL SALVADOR and HONDURAS and GUATAMALA and NICARAGUA and GRANADA .
