1. [NEW ITEM] GA2023 MEDIA RELEASE, 18 NOVEMBER 2020: Australia to host major global cultural heritage event

The Australian Government and NSW Government joined Australia ICOMOS today in announcing that Sydney will host heritage experts from around the world in 2023, at the next global General Assembly of the influential International Council on Monuments and Sites (‘ICOMOS’).

ICOMOS has more than 10,000 members globally – architects, historians, planners, archaeologists and other specialists – and officially advises the World Heritage Committee and national governments about heritage issues.

Australian Minister for the Environment, the Hon Sussan Ley MP, welcomed the announcement that Australia would host the ICOMOS General Assembly and related Scientific Symposium:

“Australia is a global leader in heritage conservation, and our hosting the General Assembly aligns closely with our commitment to the management of 20 World Heritage properties – with more nominations on the way. As an active member of the World Heritage Committee, and one of the first nations to adopt the World Heritage Convention, we are delighted to partner with the NSW Government and ICOMOS to bring this prestigious global gathering to Sydney”, she said.

NSW Heritage Minister Don Harwin MLC observed that the 2023 ICOMOS General Assembly would highlight NSW’s significant achievements in cultural heritage management and the role of the cultural sector in the State’s post-pandemic recovery.

“Sydney and NSW boast wonderful heritage places ranging from important Aboriginal sites with rich stories, to the convict Hyde Park Barracks and Parramatta’s historic Female Factory. Our ICOMOS visitors will share knowledge of great conservation practice and enjoy amazing cultural experiences at iconic venues like Sydney Opera House. This event will boost cultural tourism, and attendees will become advocates for the amazing experiences that our cultural heritage offers”, he said.

Tourism Australia and Business Events Sydney recognise that this global cultural event will draw millions of dollars into the visitor economy, and will have wide-ranging benefits for future cultural tourism.

Australia ICOMOS President Helen Lardner welcomed strong government and corporate backing, which enabled Australia’s successful bid for 2023.

“The General Assembly theme: ‘Heritage Changes: Resilience – Responsibility – Rights – Relationships” reflects the tumultuous changes taking place in the world, but also a positive message about the role of our heritage in supporting rapid recovery and inclusive approaches”, she said

Delegates will visit iconic heritage sites including Sydney Opera House, Hyde Park Barracks, Luna Park, National Trust properties and the Greater Blue Mountains, which are being showcased on the world stage. Events and tours both pre and post the General Assembly will offer opportunities for participants to visit many cities and regions across Australia, including many famous World Heritage properties.

“GA2023 will highlight stories and techniques for conserving important cultural sites and will make an important contribution to the re-emergence of Sydney and Australia more broadly as a leading cultural tourism destination”, Ms Lardner said.

The Sydney gathering will include the International Committee on Cultural Tourism; highlighting the importance of heritage as a driver of Australian tourism.

2. [NEW ITEM] Australia ICOMOS AGM, Honorary Membership announcement and Executive Committee

The Australia ICOMOS AGM was held on Thursday 12 November 2020 by Zoom. Although it was the first AGM using a virtual platform, there were a large number of attendees and all ran smoothly thanks to the excellent technical skills of Chris Johnston, Georgia Meros and Caitlin Mitropolous. The AGM received the 2019-20 Financial Statement, provided details of membership growth and extended an invitation to attend the ICOMOS 21st Triennial General Assembly and Scientific Symposium (GA2023) to be hosted in Sydney, 31 August – 9 September 2023. During the AGM, I reported on Australia ICOMOS’ response to the devastating bushfires and highlights of our advocacy, particularly in relation to Indigenous Heritage legislation and the EPBC Act 1999 Review. These and other submissions can be found here on our website.

The Australia ICOMOS Annual Report for 2019-20 is now available on the website.

A highlight of the AGM was the awarding of Honorary Membership to Max Bourke AM, in recognition of his seminal role in the development of heritage conservation in Australia and Australia ICOMOS. During his distinguished career, Max was the founding Director of the Australian Heritage Commission, the first Australian to be elected to the international ICOMOS executive committee (1981-87) and Australia ICOMOS President in 1983-84. Max encouraged many other people around him, including those working on developing the Burra Charter. The AGM was a wonderful opportunity to recognise his broad and very substantial contribution to Australia’s heritage generally, as well as to Australia ICOMOS. The Honorary Membership citation is now on the website. Congratulations Max!

At the AGM, I reported on the results of the call for nominations for vacancies on the Executive Committee, with the successful candidates as follows (* means continuing member):

  • Tracy Ireland (ACT)
  • Lucy Irwin (NSW)
  • Wayne Johnson* (NSW)
  • Anita Krivickas (NSW)
  • Michael Queale* (SA)
  • Lisa Sturis* (NSW)

They join the following members who are in the middle of their 2-year term:

  • Mitch Cleghorn (QLD)
  • Bruce Dawbin (NSW)
  • Flavia Kiperman (WA)
  • Helen Lardner (VIC)
  • Elizabeth Little (SA)
  • Caitlin Mitropolous (VIC)
  • Adam Mornement (VIC)
  • Kevin O’Sullivan (SA)
  • Matthew Whincop (QLD)

As three members had retired and three new ones nominated, there was no need for an election.

We extend a warm welcome to Lucy who is an Emerging Professional and are pleased that Anita and Tracy, who have both served on the Executive Committee in the past, are able to join the team.

We would also like to sincerely thank those members of the Executive Committee who are not continuing: Duncan Marshall, Richard Mackay and Jane Alexander. All have made a significant contribution to the EC and Australia ICOMOS is very fortunate to have people with their immense skills, experience and talent. I am personally very grateful for the support of Duncan as Vice President. We note with thanks that Richard will continue working hard for the ICOMOS family as Convenor GA2023 and Duncan as Convenor of the Strategic Advocacy Reference Group.

A meeting of the new Executive Committee was held on Friday 13 November 2020 by zoom. The following new Office Bearers were elected:

  • President – Helen Lardner
  • Vice-President – Michael Queale
  • Secretary – Anita Krivickas
  • Treasurer – Matt Whincop

Wayne Johnson will continue in the role of Membership Secretary and a full list of Executive Committee members’ roles and responsibilities will be available on the website in the near future.

As the continuing President, I would like to congratulate my fellow Committee members and thank the membership for your trust in us. We look forward to a great year ahead with the Executive Committee and the fabulous Georgia Meros, our Secretariat Executive Officer.

Helen Lardner
President, Australia ICOMOS

Council has published Taking Control of Our Heritage, a Discussion Paper on legislative reform of the Aboriginal Heritage Act 2006. The objective of the Paper is to help everyone, Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal, Victorian and non-Victorian, have their say on the operation of the Act.

The Paper organises proposals for legislative change into themes corresponding to mechanisms and parts of the Act. Each has its own section which explains the key purpose of the proposed change and invites submissions and questions.

The primary focus of the review is the Act, however, if issues raised relate to the Aboriginal Heritage Regulations 2018 these will also be considered.

7. [NEW ITEM] Heritage Act 1977 (NSW) – new management of standard exemptions

Heritage NSW advises that they are making changes to the way standard exemptions to the approval requirements of the Heritage Act 1977 are managed.

New Standard Exemptions for items listed on the State Heritage Register (SHR) or subject to an Interim Heritage Order (IHO) will come into force on 1 December 2020.

Standard Exemptions are for works that must not impact heritage significance and support the day to day practical management of a heritage item. Key changes and benefits of the new Standard Exemptions are:

  • an increased number and type of exempt activities
  • no requirement for notification or endorsement to carry out activities/works
  • landholders/managers are required to keep records for auditing and compliance purposes

The new standard exemptions are available on the NSW government gazette.

A new fast track approval pathway will also be introduced, effective 1 December 2020. This pathway is for activities/works that may or will have a minor impact on the heritage significance of an item listed on the SHR or subject to an IHO. The introduction of the fast track pathway simplifies approval requirements and reduces processing times. These activities/works will require a fast track application including a fee and will be assessed within 21 days.

What isn’t changing?

  • The regular section 60 approval pathway will remain unchanged for activities that have (or have the potential to have) a moderate or greater impact on the heritage significance of an item. These activities require an application, assessment and approval.
  • While certain activities/works may be exempt under the Heritage Act, other legislation may still require approval before commencing work.

The new Standard Exemptions and Fast Track supporting information will be available from 1 December 2020 on the Heritage NSW website.

Duldig Studio Museum & Sculpture Garden Annual Lecture, 26 November

The annual Duldig Lecture for 2020
presented by Dr Arie Hartog, Director of Gerhard Marcks Haus, Bremen Germany

Thursday 26 November, 7.00pm – 8.30pm including Q&A
Online Event / Webinar
FREE EVENT

Hear Dr Hartog speak for the first time to Australian audiences. Here’s how to expand your knowledge on modernist sculpture with highly regarded experts. Book now for this exciting opportunity.  

With an introduction by Dr Gerard Vaughan AM, former Director, National Gallery of Australia, and National Gallery of Victoria.

In 1932 German artist and sculptor, Gerhard Marcks (1889-1981), appeared to be “the next big thing” in German sculpture, however, events turned out quite differently as Marcks’ work was soon labelled as “degenerate art” by the Third Reich. Despite such persecution he continued to live in Germany between 1933 and 1945 and became one of the most important representatives of modern sculpture in German Post-War Art. That being so, what does the term “modern” mean exactly? What did it mean then, what does it mean today? The question becomes all the more interesting when you draw an imaginary line from Gerhard Marcks to Karl Duldig. Was Duldig modern? When and why?

Dr Arie Hartog is Director of Gerhard Marcks Haus, a museum for modern and contemporary sculpture inspired by the work of the German sculptor and graphic artist Gerhard Marcks (b. 1889 – d. 1981). Dr Hartog is also chairman of the Association of Sculpture Museums and Sculpture Collections Working Group in Germany. His research focuses on the history of European sculpture.

In Situ. Revue des patrimoines journal – Heritage values of 20th century architecture: what recognition?: call for papers | deadline 15 December 2020

CALL FOR PAPERS — Heritage values of 20th century architecture: what recognition? Critical review and international forward-looking vision

The journal In Situ. Revue des patrimoines offers heritage professionals and researchers the opportunity to disseminate and promote the results of their work on the knowledge, conservation and transmission of works and objects for which they are responsible or which they are studying. Its ambition is to promote exchanges between the different players and between the many disciplines that make up the heritage sciences. It makes the knowledge thus produced available to the public.

General context

The heritage values of 20th century architecture, whether they be cultural, social or technical, remain relatively complex to assess, and thus to share, due to lack of perspective and knowledge. The architectural and urban production of the second half of the 20th century was particularly prolific, sometimes remarkable, even exceptional.

The energy, ecological transition, the changing habits and lifestyles are leading to the gradual transformation of this built heritage reaching to the end of its life cycle.

Today, many countries with a post-industrial economy are confronted with the challenge to bring about changes in these buildings and neighbourhoods in order to meet the increasing social demand, without compromising their original architectural interest and qualities.

For more information, visit the In Situ. Revue des patrimoines website.

Deadline

If you would like to contribute to this issue, we thank you for sending us by 15 December 2020 a summary of your proposal with a maximum of 1,500 characters.
