Abstract:

The thesis argues that the relations between culture and government are best viewed through an analysis of the programmatic and institutional contexts for the use of culture as an interface in the relations between citizenship and government. Discussion takes place through an analysis of the history of art programmes which, in seeking to target a 'general' population, have attempted to equip this population with various particular capacities. We aim to provide a history of rationalities of art administration. This will provide us with an approach through which we might understand some of the s

Abstract:

Informed by the writings of Michel Foucault, this thesis investigates the discourse on folk art in Australia. Emphasis is placed on exploring the recent emergence of a body of statements that contribute to its Australian specificity. This thesis considers the various discursive strategies that construct the domain of folk art in this country, including the contribution played by overseas folkloric studies in establishing the field. By using a framework operating under the principle of distance and immediacy, the processes of production and dissemination of cultural goods are examined to re

Abstract:

[Surrealism] changed the face of art. Everything has changed. (James Gleeson) A pervasive modern sensibility This study adopts several approaches to surrealist practices in Australia. The first is an historiographical one, in which I map surrealism's (re)presentafion in Australian art historical texts. Second, I identify the emergence of surrealism in modernist discourses in Australia, including mass media and popular culture. I then contextualise surrealism in an epistemology of privileged subjectivity in Australia, in which an understanding of Freud, Jung, theosophy and Bergson are

Abstract:

In 1815 the Blue Mountains were first identified as a unique landscape when Governor Macquarie took a tour over them and located the nineteenth century principles of the Sublime and Picturesque within its' landscape. Until this time the Blue Mountains were considered to be a hostile impenetrable barrier to the West. This paper examines some of the ways the Blue Mountains has been represented in the past, and has been identified as a tourist destination through interpretations imposed on the landscape by the tourist industry since that time.

Abstract:

This study explores student learning in a tertiary visual arts institution. Students' conceptions of art practice are described using the phenomenologically based educational research method of phenomenography. The study addresses the intentional content of student art practice in the contexts of the visual arts institution and the status of visual arts in the 1990s. Data collection was carried out through interviews with Honours Year visual arts students, which was processed using textual analysis to examine understandings related to the visual arts.

These two types of history are compared and conclusions are made about their similarities and differences in the articulation of identity and culture.

This is an ethnoarchaeological study of style in the visual arts of Aboriginal people living in the Barunga region of the Northern Territory, Australia. My main concern is the development of a practical framework for the analysis of style in indigenous visual arts. This framework integrates the notions of style, semiotics and social strategy in an attempt to deal with the dynamics of image creation and perception. The principal result is that the morphological characteristics of style are influenced systematically by the historically situated positions of both producer and interpreter and by t

Abstract:

Current research into the status of art in primary school education suggests that there is overwhelming support for a more vigorous approach to the artistic and creative development of children in Australian education. A recent Australian Council Report (Costantoura, 2000) into the arts in Australia found that as many as 85% of Australian adolescents and adults felt that involvement in the arts "should be an important part of the education" (p. 86) of every child. Despite such support however, there is a lack of emphasis on the creative arts in the curriculum of many Australian primary scho

The place for Charles Wheeler’s nudes in Australian art history has not been adequately gauged by art historians. He was one of Australia’s most notable painters of the nude, not perhaps because his vision was particularly inventive or original, but rather because he was an important, conservative conduit of that European tradition. Wheeler was very popular with the buying public over many decades, but success with his nudes was fundamentally a critical one. The positive response to Wheeler’s nudes, paintings which combined elements of the academic tradition and more fashionable conventions, p

Abstract:

The debate of Indigenous art as contemporary art in Western art discourse has been ongoing since the acceptance of Indigenous art as contemporary art in the early 1990s. This has resulted in a collision of four diverse fields; Western art history, Western art criticism, anthropology and Indigenous cultural material. The debate stems from the problematised way the term contemporary is defined by globalised Euro-Western art and its institutions. This thesis considers the value of applying the concept of the contemporary to Indigenous art practices and art, in particular as a mode for cultural se

Abstract:

The purpose of this research is to contribute a non indigenous perspective to current discourse on sense of place in contemporary Australia. The research employs a number of strategies to investigate current responses to our geographic and historical time position. Within the exegesis there is a vers libre poem, written from the imagined viewpoint of members of the Burke and Wills’ expedition. The poem is supported by a superimposition of the Don Quixote story over that of the ill-fated inland Australian explorers. [...]<br>Master of Arts (Visual Arts)

Abstract:

This research involved an examination of landscape art, the nexus of art and landscape architecture, within a rural Australian context. Four completed landscape art projects from different regions of the country were selected as case studies, and through a methodology of layering data to create a matrix of physical, social and cultural, and design factors, the case studies were analysed and compared to identify commonalities and differences. The influence on the design outcome by diverse factors such as climate, landform, community profile, local history, and the methodologies employed during

Abstract:

In researching this topic, I have developed chapters on a History of Taste in Australia (as related to Asia), incorporating discussion of the late-nineteenth century art movements of Chinoiserie, Japonisme and Aestheticism (chapters 1 to 3). Chapters 4, 5, 6 and 7 focus on particular visual and cultural phenomena throughout Australia which are correlated to these movements, and are largely documented from primary sources. As an overview of the growth and content of Asian collections within Australia, chapter 8 presents a national view - from the founding of private colonial collectio

Abstract:

The artist Hans Heysen is closely associated with the South Australian regional environment, which featured as the subject matter of his most celebrated works. At the same time, however, he also rapidly established a national reputation, achieving critical and commercial success in the interstate art worlds of Melbourne and Sydney. This dissertation investigates the significant role of Heysen’s art world networks in establishing, shaping and maintaining his career and reputation. Most of the existing scholarship on Heysen has either been biographical or concerned with analysing the style and s
