Public Talks -- School of Art -- Sarah Scott

Sarah Scott -- Wednesday 19 May 2010

Disintergration and Regeneration: Art and life in the Darwin region.
The period between 2005 and 2008 witnessed an unprecedented flowering of Darwin’s cultural scene. At the same time, it also saw the Federal Government’s emergency intervention into indigenous communities, and the hospitalisation in Darwin of Jose Ramos Horta after an assassination attempt in February 2008 brought the politics of East Timor directly to the city’s doorstep. Sarah Scott will describe the unique interplay between art, the natural environment, culture and politics in Darwin during this complex time.

Michael Callaghan

Michael Callaghan
Image & Text 1967 - 2010
7 - 29 May

An exhibition tracing the career of one of Australia’s more politically focused artists. From 1977 to 1979 Callaghan was part of the Earthworks Poster Collective at Sydney University working alongside a group of talented artists who made a major contribution to Australian art at a time when mainstream painting and sculpture appeared moribund. In 1979, Callaghan founded Redback Graphix in Brisbane, and in 1980 moved it to Wollongong and in 1985 to Sydney. Redback developed an idiosyncratic style, using fluoro colours with bold black outlines. Throughout the 1980s and 90s the workshop undertook campaigns from a number of Commonwealth government departments. Callaghan is the co-creator of Condoman the Phantom-like figure who advocates the use of condoms for young Indigenous men, one of the
more successful anti-AIDS health campaigns in indigenous health. In recent years he has continued working with combining art and politics in digital prints and has also returned to making paintings and sculptures. His most recent body of work, created as the H. C. Coombs
Creative Arts Fellow for 2009 at the School of Art, ANU, is concerned with the war in Iraq. Focusing on the doublespeak of the ‘war on terror’ and in particular the issues it brings to bear on human rights. Michael Callaghan is the recipient of the ANU H C Coombs Creative Arts
Fellowship 2009 administered by the Research School of Humanities & the Arts in association with the ANU School of Art.

• GRAND DESIGNS REVISITED: HACKNEY

Kevin McCloud takes a trip back to the home of John and Elini Flood who completely gutted their Victorian terrace house to create an open, light and modern space. For ten years John and Elini have lived in a 19th century terrace house in the north-east London borough of Hackney. Hackney is a conservation area so the facade can't be changed but everything else can be demolished.

The project is a multi-decade, multi-million dollar effort to rescue the Parthenon and other ancient structures on the Athenian Acropolis. The Parthenon, in particular, was in danger of collapse.
