HRC Colloquium

Australian Art, Craft and New Media Now:

Aesthetics, National and Politics

This HRC-sponsored Symposium will focus on questions related to the meaning and significance of contemporary Australian art, craft and new media.

What are the aesthetic and political advantages, particularly today, of the lack of a single direction in contemporary Australian art, new media and craft?

Does it make sense anymore to speak categorically of "What's Australian," especially in an increasingly international art and new media world?

Fifteen invited panelists (including 2004 curators) will consider both Australian and non-Australian points of view. After a morning and early afternoon session of short presentations and discussion, invited speakers, including art historians, critics, and curators, will join in a dialogue. The outcome will be published on the web prior to June 2004, as part of the event lead-in.

All inquiries should be directed (preferably) by email to: c.green@unimelb.edu.au
