Australia ICOMOS 2013 National Conference—Centenary of Canberra

Call for Conference Session Proposals

‘Imagined pasts, imagined futures’ is an exciting multidisciplinary conference that coincides with the centenary of Canberra and the array of cultural activities, performances, exhibitions and events that are planned for Canberra in 2013. Australia ICOMOS is partnering with the Museum of Australian Democracy in the unique setting of Old Parliament House to explore how heritage participates in the ‘imagined communities’ and ‘imagined geographies’ of nations and communities in a globalising world. Taking the imagining of the city of Canberra as our inspiration, the conference encourages a focus on imagination, innovation and creativity. Conference activities will feature special events that showcase Canberra’s unique cultural, historical and political heritage—from indigenous heritage futures, to the imagined frontiers of science and the heritage of political debate and satire! Pre and post conference activities will explore the heritage and cultural landscapes of the region, including its fantastic cool climate wines and produce.

Proposals are encouraged for sessions, workshops, panel discussions, performances, as well as individual papers – suggested themes are set out on the conference website. Be creative! Non-traditional formats welcomed.

PLEASE NOTE NEW DEADLINES

The deadline for proposals for sessions, workshops and panel discussions etc is 28 February 2013. The deadline for abstracts for individual papers or performances is 30 April 2013.

3. 2013 Houses Awards open

The 2013 Houses Awards are open for entry, including – for the second year running – a Heritage category.

Sponsored by the Heritage Council of Victoria, the Heritage category was introduced last year to recognise the complex area at the juncture between contemporary life and places with heritage significance. Places must have statutory protection at a local or higher level to be eligible for this category.

The inaugural Heritage award was presented to Andrew Burges Architecture for their Rooftop Pavilion, Darling Point. Rooftop Pavilion received this award for its “highly functional and sculptural spatial arrangement within a tightly constrained envelope, forming an arresting and engaging backdrop for contemporary living using a notable heritage starting point.”

The annual Houses Awards program rewards design excellence across eight categories, with the pinnacle prize awarded as Australian House of the Year. Houses may be entered in more than one category. Last year’s top honour went to Shearer’s Quarters by John Wardle Architects, located on a historic farming property on Bruny Island, Tasmania.

Entries close on Thursday 28 March. For more information, go to the Houses Awards website.

4. AICCM National Conference – call for papers

AICCM National Conference
‘Contexts for Conservation’
The Science Exchange, Adelaide, SA
23 – 25 October 2013

The Australian Institute for the Conservation of Cultural Material (AICCM) National Conference will provide the conservation profession with an opportunity to explore the roles of conservation and conservators within a variety of wider contexts. An interdisciplinary approach will be taken in considering the activities, ideas and challenges of the conservation profession in the present and into the future.

The scope will encompass the many varied connections and relationships conservators encounter in their work, from close working relationships with curators and collection managers in cultural institutions, private citizens caring for their own collections to their much broader involvement with national and international cultural and heritage issues. Some of the proposed contexts include:

  • The creators – working with artists and craftspeople
  • The collaborators – curators, collection managers and the cultural organisations
  • The places – heritage places and buildings and the professionals who manage them (relationships with heritage organisations)
  • The community – supporting the preservation of cultural identity (disaster response, conservation education and local engagement)
  • The Government; local and national – policy and planning for culture and heritage (National Cultural Policy)
  • The World – the place of Australia in the international profession (especially within the South-east Asian region)
  • The frameworks – philosophy, ethics and ways of contributing to cultural thinking
  • The digital – digital conservation and conservation of the digital
  • The commercial – conservation funding and philanthropy

The National Conference will be a forum for showcasing innovation in the ways in which conservators already work within these larger frameworks, as well as highlighting the importance of increasingly flexible, cohesive and contemporary methods of meeting future challenges of engaging in wider contexts.

Presentations and activities will encompass a broad range of collaborations and contexts for conservation and will focus on building partnerships and engaging the profession within a wider culture and heritage perspective. Sessions on conservation research, practice and treatment will also be presented, with an emphasis on the ways these core activities connect with wider issues and contexts.

The organising committee now welcomes abstracts (maximum 300 words) for papers on these themes. Download the AICCM 2013 Call for papers.

Wednesday 13 February

Described by Deputy Vice-Chancellor of the University of Sydney, Stephen Garton as “a path breaking piece of forensic research…our knowledge of colonial New South Wales is much enhanced”.

Dismissed from public office by Governor Bourke in 1836 amidst bitter intrigue, Alexander Macleay’s life was filled with adventure, romance (especially his children’s), a passion for natural history and financial problems which ultimately resulted in personal calamity. Yet the Macleay Museum at the University of Sydney and Macleay Street in Kings Cross remind us of the significance of Alexander Macleay, whilst the Botanic Gardens, State Library, Australian Museum and Australian Club are just a few of our early institutions that benefitted from his active involvement.

Do not miss what promises to be a very interesting evening.

Both expanding and shrinking cities present new challenges that require preservationists to think broadly and collaboratively, themes that will be highlighted at APT NYC 2013.

APT’s annual conference is itself a melting pot of ideas and best practices from many disciplines. Abstract submissions are welcomed from architects, engineers, academics, conservators, consultants, planners, curators, landscape architects, developers, contractors, historians and students directly involved in the application of methods and materials to maintain, conserve, and protect historic structures and sites for future use and appreciation.

17. Cambridge Heritage Research Group Annual Seminar – abstracts invited

The Cambridge Heritage Research Group is hosting its annual seminar on 13 April 2013 on the topic of “Heritage Scapes”.

The 14th Annual Heritage Seminar invites you to send in abstracts for papers and presentations that address the issues below. Please send proposals to Leanne Philpotvia email or Calum Robertson via email by 1 March 2013.

“Heritage Scapes”

Various concepts of ‘scapes’ have been employed within the heritage discourse over the last decade. Stemming from an initial concern with the decontextualisation of heritage sites from their surroundings, more abstract notions of landscapes, including the inter-connections between natural, cultural, social and symbolic dimensions are being debated.

Interest in environs has furthered advances in landscape studies and in contextualizing heritage spatially. At the same time we see attempts at exploring heritage through the effects of space: heritage-scapes, city-scapes, and memorial-scapes.

Behind the vocabulary of ‘scapes’ lies a move towards a broader vision of the networks of meaning that create heritage, linking it with markers in both real and symbolic environments.

Is this suffix, this ‘scape’, an escape or does it reflect a change in how we understand heritage? Is the adoption of spatial terminology advancing how we learn of is it merely metaphorical? How it is attempting to develop conceptual and analytical terms that capture the dynamic between space and heritage? And will the new terminology be inclusive of cross-cultural concepts of space?
