Hyperborean Tales

- Description: 'Hyperborean Tales' Exhibition at Switchback Gallery, Federation University Australia, Gippsland Campus; 6th October - 5th November 2015. Jennifer Murray is a Masters candidate at Federation University’s Gippsland Centre for Art and Design and a painter of miniature images. Her Masters project explores the imagery of cold climates, focussing on places in the Arctic Circle. During her candidacy she undertook a residency at Skagestrond in Northwest Iceland, painting onsite out of an old converted fish warehouse and experiencing directly the visual and cultural effects of the cold climate. The result is an intriguing set of miniature paintings, which reveal the otherworldliness of our planet’s ultra-cold places. Murray is an admirer of Persian and Victorian miniature painting. The small scale meshes with the claustrophobic nature of cold climate living and these works illuminate what it is in cold places that adds new visual and cultural understandings about place.

I am becoming German

- Full Text: false
- Description: 19th August-17th September 2017 I am becoming German (Ich Werde Deutsch) pictures young people, who were forced to leave their countries to start a new life as immigrants in Germany, as well as those who were born in Germany but have grown up under influence of their family's cultural background. The work is based on the impressions, fears, experiences, fates and losses of the young immigrants, by focusing on the individual circumstances of their lives. Maziar Moradi uses staged photographic portraits as the framework to capture and visualise their stories. He lets the immigrants re-enact key scenes of personal developments, dramatic experiences or turning points in their lives and thereby letting the individuals become the actors in their own narratives. Through drama, wit and humour these stories of personal experiences tell about the protagonists' great effort to become "German" and to establish a new life in a foreign country.

Illuminating the exegesis : A discussion of the exegesis component of the creative thesis in Australian research higher degrees

- Description: Within the Australian context of research higher degrees being undertaken as ‘thesis only’ programs, the “creative thesis” model has become well established as the usual model for research higher degrees in the Visual and Creative Arts disciplines, offered by Australian Universities. The “creative thesis” model originated within Visual Arts Masters programs, and has been more recently taken up in Visual Arts PhDs, and within Masters and PhD programs in other Creative Arts areas, for example, in Performing Arts and Creative Writing programs. This model requires a research undertaking that results in the submission of a substantial and original body of creative work (for example: a public exhibition of paintings, drawings, sculptures, a novel or collection of poetry or stories of publishable quality, a play or musical performance piece, etc) accompanied by an exegesis: a scholarly commentary that supports, contextualises, and elucidates the creative research. This thesis model, of creative work plus exegesis, has emerged against a background of debate and contestation regarding art and research. The inevitable tension between ideas of 'art as research' and 'art as professional practice' has given rise to a range of debates regarding the status of art practice as research, the recognition of art practice as 'publication' equivalent, and even the appropriateness of research higher degrees in the Creative Arts. These issues have been debated throughout the 1990s, and in some areas are still being debated. In spite of this, Creative Arts research higher degrees are firmly up and running, and the 'creative thesis' is a reality. While these debates may appear to have been resolved by university policy developments that have established the 'creative work plus exegesis' model within many institutions, this paper will explore the extent to which these debates not only provide the context or background of this thesis model, but also remain reflected in the range of ways the creative thesis is handled by institutions, and in the levels of uncertainty that continue to surround the exegesis. This paper then will explore and discuss a range of practices and debates surrounding the roles, purposes and expectations of the exegesis component of the creative thesis in Australian Universities, in particular as these relate to Visual Arts higher degrees. Beyond this, however, it will attempt to negotiate a path through these diverging practices and debates, in order to demystify, clarify and illuminate the exegesis.

In between the object and the gaze

- Description: 23rd June-15th July 2017 Deanne Gilson’s work focuses on reclaiming traditional knowledge, the colonial gaze and challenging Western portrayals of Aboriginal people. Her art practice and current research is concerned with the objectification of Aboriginal women and the impact of the male colonial gaze, and what was known of traditional ‘women’s business’. Examining how contemporary art can heal, disrupt and challenge the male colonial gaze through a reflective process, within Deanne’s research and art, her aim is to highlight and bring back women’s business through art practice as research and link this to the revived practice of ceremony. Deanne Gilson is a proud Wadawurrung woman who currently lives and works in Ballarat, Victoria. Deanne completed a Bachelor of Arts (Visual Art) with Honours at the Arts Academy, Federation University Australia, in 2010 and is currently a PhD candidate at the Institute of Koorie Education, Deakin University, Geelong, Victoria.

Indwelling : A story in Fresco
- Authors: Chappell, Annette

- Type: Text , Visual art work
- Full Text: false
- Description: 24th May-3rd June 2017 Annette Chappell’s work is a contemporary exploration and transgression of the material form and function of traditional fresco. Drawing upon onsite experience as a materials conservator of historic fresco she repurposes that knowledge to create contemporary part and full fresco surfaces and to locate her self-story as an artist. Through a process of indwelling in recurrent and resonant imagery, her storylines are enacted through immersive and spontaneous material and pictorial techniques, and captured in the stone layer veil or ‘velo’ of the fresco lime plaster. The choice of dark and light tonal values in her backgrounds are an evocation of mysterious spaces – the inner and outer worlds of human experience where self-story takes place. Annette’s storylines chronicle the shift from her figurative enactments of story to a focus on form-denying settings where those narratives dissolve into the sensation and emotion of contemplative silence. This exhibition constitutes the visual outcomes emerging from a practice-led research project for a Doctoral Award at the Arts Academy, Faculty of Education and Arts, Federation University Australia.
