1. [NEW ITEM] Deakin University Cultural Heritage Seminar, Melbourne, Wednesday 28 August

Deakin University’s next Cultural Heritage Seminar will be a presentation by Professor Chris Whitehead (Newcastle University, UK) on “Edgy heritages: the Forcefields of Europe”.

Abstract

What does Europe look like from its edges? What kinds of heritage do we find there? Edge places are geopolitical, affective and symbolic zonings in struggles to determine what is what (eg. ‘Europe’), where it is, who can belong there and where it is heading. It is almost an adage that we best understand the centre by attending to the periphery, or that work on the boundaries of a thing is necessarily a determination of the thing itself. Edgy connotes relationships that may be tense, nervous, and/or bold, provocative or volatile. Based on recent European Union-funded research into heritage politics in Europe (CoHERE: Critical Heritages of Europe), this paper is also part travelogue. It explores new and old edges such as Gallipoli, Ireland, Berlin and Andalusia. They turn out to be sites of discrepancy, cultural dissonance and ‘epistemological doubt’, where historical vicissitudes constitute heritages that test the very nature of ‘Europe’ as a geopolitical reality, as a discursive formation, as marker of identity and as a moral ground. These spaces of cultural confusion, hybrid histories and geopolitical contingencies prompt us to rethink the meanings of Europe at a time when its backstory is both politicised and contested.

4. [NEW ITEM] Australia ICOMOS / DOCOMOMO Sydney Talk Series, 11 September

“Along Bauhaus Lines” Architecture and Design by European Emigres in Aotearoa
presented by Linda Tyler

European emigré architects were key vectors for the introduction of Bauhaus ideas to post-war New Zealand. Their Central European training was often at odds with the modernism that was developing there. In the organisations and institutions where they were influential, the Bauhaus was held up as an exemplar to follow.

For example, in an article entitled “What was the Bauhaus?” published in 1949 in the Architecture Centre’s publication Design Review, the importance of the legacy of the Bauhaus for New Zealanders was explained. This talk will outline some of the key ways in which the Bauhaus left an inflection in New Zealand, not only in the built environment but also in design education.

Linda Tyler

Associate Professor Linda Tyler teaches in the disciplinary areas of both art history and museums and cultural heritage at the University of Auckland. Her architectural history thesis completed at the University of Canterbury on the New Zealand architecture of Ernst Anton Plischke has been the basis of two exhibitions and several publications in Wellington and Vienna. She has also published articles on Vladimir Čačala and has contributed the chapter on Bauhaus influences in New Zealand to the Miegunyah Press book, Bauhaus Diaspora and Beyond: Transforming Education through Art, Design and Architecture, edited by Philip Goad, Ann Stephen, Andrew McNamara, Harriet Edquist, Isabel Wünsche and published in August 2019.

Time & Date: Wednesday 11 September 2019, 5.30pm for 6pm start

Cost: Students $10, Members $15, Non-members $20 – book via eventbrite

Venue: PTW office, Level 11, 88 Phillip Street Sydney NSW 2000

Queries: by email to Noni Boyd

Australia ICOMOS, DOCOMOMO and NSW AIA Chapter members are all invited to attend

10. [NEW ITEM] New laws to better protect Canberra’s heritage

People who damage heritage places and objects in Canberra will face stronger penalties and may be required to repair damage in upcoming reforms from the ACT Government.

The Canberra community is passionate about our shared heritage and has been calling for more effective ways to deal with breaches of the Heritage Act.

The amendments, which follow community concern that current penalties are not as effective as they could be, mean the ACT Government will be able to take immediate action when a heritage place or object is damaged. On-the-spot fines will also provide a better deterrent than at present.

The proposed legislation amendments are anticipated to be introduced to the Legislative Assembly later this year.

See more about the proposed changes and how heritage is protected in the ACT at this link.

VICOMITES short talk series, Friday 6 September, Melbourne

VICOMITES short talk series – Friday 6 September 2019
Budj Bim, the World Heritage-listed cultural landscape

Australia ICOMOS members, and prospective members, are invited to a presentation by Damein Bell, a Gunditjmara man and CEO of Gunditj Mirring Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation. Damein will reflect on the journey that led to the inscription of the Budj Bim Cultural Landscape on the World Heritage List (6 July 2019).

The cultural landscape consists of three serial components, and constitutes one of the world’s most extensive and oldest aquaculture systems. The Budj Bim lava flows provide the basis for the complex system of channels, weirs and dams developed by the Gunditjmara in order to trap, store and harvest kooyang (short-finned eel – Anguilla australis). The system provided an economic and social base for Gunditjmara society for six millennia.

Refreshments will be provided.

Location: The Kathleen Syme Library and Community Centre, 251 Faraday Street, Carlton

Book launch: St Clair Villa, 175 Years of Goulburn History, Goulburn, 28 August

You are invited to the launch of St Clair Villa, 175 Years of Goulburn History by Peter Freeman OAM.

The launch is to be held in the Goulburn Mulwaree Library on Wednesday 28 August from 2.00pm to 3.00pm.

Click here to RSVP (the event is free but bookings are encouraged) and for location details.

THE BOOK

It is rare for an Australian dwelling to last for more than a century and it is even more of a rarity for a small brick cottage to remain standing one hundred and seventy five years. It is a testament to the design and building abilities of the Scot James Sinclair that St Clair Villa still stands today, albeit greatly enlarged. It is also a testament to the town and city of Goulburn, its residents, and to its municipal authorities and historical societies that the Villa has been retained and nurtured. This book tells the story, in text and image, of the life and times of St Clair Villa in Goulburn.

THE AUTHOR

Peter Freeman, OAM, is a conservation architect, writer and illustrator, whose life has been dedicated to documenting the rural vernacular of Australia, and those significant places, buildings and people that have enriched Australia. This is the sixteenth book in the Freeman collection, which first commenced in 1978 with the publication by Rigby of a sketchbook about the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area.

Decolonising Cultural Heritage and Museum Studies conference, 13-14 November 2019, Deakin Uni Burwood – call for papers: deadline 31 August

It is now 40 years since Deakin University began its Museum Studies program in 1979. In celebrating this milestone, we are organising a conference that responds to the enormous changes over that time, both in the fields of museum practice and the wider field of cultural heritage. Given our location in Australia, a settler society, our focus takes its bearing from the increasing pressure on museums, archives and heritage places to ‘decolonize’ their practices and relations with Indigenous and First Nations People. The conference thus seeks to broaden and deepen the cross-disciplinary and cross-sector conversation about new practices, interpretations and lives for collected materials across the GLAM sector, as well as heritage places shaped by colonial contexts. Informed by histories of the production of colonial knowledge and responding to new and interdisciplinary directions in collection theory and research, heritage management and interpretation, this conference will bring together researchers, practitioners, industry partners, and artists to discuss the critical elements of working with and through collections and heritage places within a Decolonising impulse.

For more information on the themes, etc, visit the conference website.

We welcome submissions by 31 August 2019. Please send submissions of a 200 word abstract and 150 word biography to the Cultural Heritage and Museum Studies Team by email.
