raised by Maya on Side by Side.

Jan Hogan, PhD, in relaxation mode… Congratulations!

in (yes) The Weekly Qualitative Report! As it should be…

…as a part of your research process. See Maya’s account of her recent exhibition while on fieldwork in Mexico.

But don’t mention OHS – Maya here adjusting the lighting!

See her blog.

Coursework students enjoyed the privilege of being able to interrogate converse with both Helen Maxwell and Karina Harris and Neil Hobbs, seeing two stages in the trajectory of works of art from studio to resting place. The metaphor of “the frame” was further expanded, and everyone went home smiling. Our thanks to both hosts!

See the link to emaj (electronic melbourne art journal) for opportunities for referreed online publishing of essays of art historical interest. And glimpse, for nostalgia’s sake, your blogwrangler’s work on the cover illustration.

Many thanks to our host Cath Bowdler (Director of Wagga Wagga Art Gallery, and Curator of Colour Country, Art from Roper River) here explaining how abstraction and figuration can say the same thing in the one picture for the Points of View group… Want to see more? Go to guess-where…

If you’re interested in the potential of a blog as an individual research tool, take a look at how Maya Haviland is doing it… And come and talk to us about it.

Kevin Miller (MPhil, Photomedia, ANU School of Art) is also in the NT on reconnaissance. He sends us some images which gives us all itchy feet! In his words: “I made my way to Bathurst Island complete with whole family – including grandparents.  This ended up being the best way to learn about the Tiwi way of life, culture, different clans (skin groups), who can marry who, etc.  Our guide (Trevor) was proud to show as much as possible and displayed enormous patience with my eldest son who never left his side for the whole trip.  It was great to experience a community where art and the connection to the land is such an embedded way of life.

It was hard to select just a few images, but here is a taste:
1. Burning off on Melville Island across Apsley Strait with red sand beach
2. Wall of Tiwi design arts centre in Nguiu – we purchased a work by Maria Josette Orsto who has exhibited often in Canberra
3. Sometimes it is easy to see the inspiration for the patterns and colours in the artwork
4. Detail from the Catholic Church with Tiwi decoration, this is the old church now only used for special occasions.  This church designed by a Dutch architect in the 1940s is a fine example of tropical architecture and probably the coolest building (temperature) we visited.  The new church is just a roof – also appropriate.
