13.01.2022 For your diary! Sir William Dobell Annual Lecture: Professor Adrian Franklin - Upping the Anti-museum: Covid-19 and its Aftermath 6pm Wednesday 25 November https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/sir-william-dobell-annual-l... Upping the Anti-museum: Covid-19 and its Aftermath Professor Adrian Franklin We rarely write critiques of the art world thinking that their time will come within weeks of publication, but this happened to me in 2020. In Anti-museum, I rounded on the contemporary art museum as a failed centre of the art world and proposed new variants of the anti-museum as alternatives. Charged with extending its audience beyond the educated, art consuming classes, art museums continue to service a social elite delivered by the unlimited expansion of tourism. In contrast, Anti-museum showed how some art museums situated themselves as activists, promoting art production, expression and all-of-community engagement. No sooner was the book published than COVID-19 prompted a global collapse of tourism. Many art museums closed, some may never reopen. But a large number found an opportunity to rethink (and recover) core values and aims that had been crushed by the tsunami of tourism-led commercialisation. This lecture will review the ways in which mainstream art museums sought out new publics and forms of engagement during COVID, after the manner of my anti-museum examples, and assess the likelihood of this transforming the art world beyond 2020. Adrian Franklin is Professor of Creative Industries and Cultural Policy, University of South Australia. He is the author of Anti-museum (Routledge), The Making of MONA (Penguin) and numerous articles on art museums, arts festivals and tourism.

02.01.2022 http:// CONGRATULATIONS // to Elliot Bastianon, alumnus of the School of Art & Design who has been invited to exhibit at the National Gallery of Victoria for the 2020 Triennial a contemporary art and design exhibition. Designing and making uncommon furniture and objects from ordinary chemicals and materials, Elliot Bastianon’s crystal encrusted works contribute to a display of speculative design projects that look to systems and processes found in nature to communicate ideas of ...order, disorder and entropy. Comprising new works Cylinder bench seat 2020, Column 2020 and Chair from the Growth Site series 2018, Bastianon submerges his steel and concrete designs in a copper sulphate bath to encourage the propagation of dazzling blue crystals. Taking hold, the crystallization process is directed by the designer with the use of extraneous apparatus and tools. The crystal growth appears to render the furniture and objects dysfunctional, while introducing striking aesthetic features that remind us intellectually of nature’s own inherent and recurrent ability to create, adapt and colonise. The works open the proverbial door to rethinking this intersection between human-centric design and the natural systems of our planet that enable people and societies to exist. Designer Elliot Bastianon applies a conceptual approach to the production of experimental furniture and objects. Referencing ubiquitous furniture types, he draws on a diverse and unconventional material palette to explore relationships between everyday contexts, science and nature. Exhibiting since 2010 Bastianon has presented his work at Melbourne Design Week (2018 and 2020); Salone del Mobile, Milan (2018); Denfair, Melbourne (201718); and Craft ACT (2017).
