Drop and Plop: public debate
Craft ACT Galleries
Tuesday 8 June 6.pm–7.pm
Craft ACT and Canberra Contemporary Art Space presents the Fora Series. This series of informal discussions and debates examine topical issues surrounding the impact and influence of contemporary craft and design on the cityscape and city dwellers, and form part of the ongoing dialogue associated with the Designing a Capital: Crafting a City program.
Drop and plop: the art of public sculpture explores the validity of public art and its civic function for the people of Canberra. Come and hear the experts and the most opinionated as they debate the question, 'Is public art the least democratic of art forms?'.
Join host David Broker, Director Canberra Contemporary Art Space and prepare yourself for a night of light hearted humour, opinion and good old fashion hot-headed competitiveness.
Speaking for the assenting team arguing 'Public art is the most democratic of art forms' we have Senator Kate Lundy, Kate Murphy and Michael Desmond, and on the dissenting team arguing 'Public art is the least democratic of art forms' we will hear from Domenic Mico, Karina Harris and Natalie Thomas.

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.
