MARCH:
CLEAN
Nicolas Low
Thursday, 9 March 8:00pm in RMIT Theatre 8.11.68
recording available soon
(Enter via Swanston St: Bldg 8, level 11, theatre 68 - to the right
of the lifts)
Artist Nicolas
Low discusses his latest project: providing street-level insight
into how our local urban spaces are transformed by an international
event.
CLEAN
is an sensor-driven, ambush-style audio installation which explores
the cleanup of Melbourne for the 2006 Commonwealth Games. CLEAN
looks at what it means to scrub up a city in the name of sport and
nationalism. We'll be taking the sparkling rhetoric of the Games
and hiding it amongst the bins and cobbles of one of Melbourne's
best known laneways - Hosier Lane. It's a celebration of the laughing,
singing, whispering and shouting of the city's 'undesireable' elements
alongside all the flag-waving, anthems and fanfare. Built from recordings
taken over the last two months with homeless people, injecting drug
users, skaters, buskers, graff artists and other members of Melbourne's
invisible communities, CLEAN will bring the dirty side of the city
to life in the midst of the Commonwealth Games' urban polish.
Originally
from New Zealand, Nicolas Low works in a wide variety of
creative fields, spanning writing, new media design and art direction.
He has worked as the Artistic Director of the Sustainable
Living Foundation's annual Future
Cities Project in 2004 and 2005, an arts/science collaboration
which takes place at the Melbourne Museum and is exhibited in Federation
Square. Nic is co-creator of the Nomadology
project, an online blogging journal of travellers' tales and their
relationships to space which has recently received funding from
the Australia Council (Literature Board). He does poetry readings
in laundromats, featured in the 2005 Melbourne Fringe show 'Weapons
of Mass Creation', and has had writing published in Voiceworks
magazine, Undergrowth
magazine, IsNot
Magazine, and Strange Shapes, MUP's anthology of new Melbourne
writing. Nic is currently an MA (Creative Writing) candidate at
the University of Melbourne.

APRIL:
GHOSTS OF SELF AND STATE
Geraldine Barlow and Tom Nicholson
Thursday, 27 April 7:30pm in RMIT Theatre
8.11.68 recording available soon
(Enter via Swanston St: Bldg 8, level 11, theatre 68 -
to the right of the lifts)
To what degree
do the state and self mirror each other in their construction? Ghosts
of self and state is a reflection on the construction of
history, and the potential for agency in contemporary society. If
the soul is the ghost in the machine that is the individual, is
there an elusive soul-like space within the mechanism of the state?
Artists Moataz
Nasr (Cairo), Tom Nicholson (Melbourne) and Markus Schinwald (Berlin/Vienna)
consider the relationship between the personal and the political,
between autonomy and group identification, as well as the persistence
of memory – its fragility, recurrence, and passage into myth.
Through the motifs of the mask, the actor, the storyteller and the
puppet the artworks study the public and private faces adopted by
citizen and state, individual and body politic.
The role of
volition, mindfulness and free will is considered in relation to
the self – Can the mind direct and create change within the
mechanism of the brain? – and also the state – What
power does the individual have to create change?
Each artist
frames an extended moment, beneath which historical trauma drags,
like a ghost-net in the ocean depths – the impact of war,
of colonial authority, and a community’s loss of its children.
In each of these works, the artists offer visions of possible ghosts
of self, of the selves we might be or become. Such echoes gather
the past before us, and ask what our role will be: as an audience,
as autonomous reflective beings and as agents in the world.
Geraldine
Kirrihi Barlow is Curator / Collection Manager at the Monash
University Museum of Art. She recently co-curated the exhibition
"Pavilions for new architecture" with Max Delany and previously
exhibitions such as "Before Night – After Nature"
and "NEW04". Geraldine has worked with Australian and
international artists in roles at the Australian Centre for Contemporary
Art, The Melbourne International Festival of the Arts - Visual Arts
Program; The Melbourne International Biennial, "Signs of Life"
in 1999 and Heide Museum of Modern Art.
Tom
Nicholson currently lives and works in Melbourne. Nicholson’s
practice engages cultural and political realms through a variety
of ‘actions’, which appropriate the idioms of protest,
propaganda and art history. Recent solo exhibitions include "Flag
Time: Marat at his last breath", Ocular Lab, Melbourne, 2006;
and "22.06.1911/30.10.2004:Documents after Marching Season",
The Aurora Project, Regent Theatre / IASKA, Kellerberrin, 2004.
In 2005 he was a finalist in the Melbourne Prize for Urban Sculpture.
Nicholson’s work will also feature in the forthcoming 15th
Biennale of Sydney 2006.

JUNE:
ON THE MATERIALITY OF THE TRACE
Dr Daniel Ross
Thursday, 8 June at 7:30pm
in new RMIT venue Casey Plaza theatre
10.4.27 (enter via Bowen St) recording
available soon
Why does the
discourse of architecture often seem to wish to give itself a philosophical
supplement? It is perhaps a symptom of the essential technicity
of the practice of architecture, a practice itself tightly inscribed
within and determined by economics, that is, capitalism. But if
so, the flight from technicity to philosophy reproduces, in fact,
the original philosophical gesture, which defines philosophy by
opposing it as discourse of truth to sophistry as discourse of power,
that is, technics. This gesture has both granted philosophy its
positive possibility for the last twenty-five centuries, and constituted
its most fundamental limitation. At the end of that period a thought
emerged which re-composed these oppositions, that is, which considered
together the co-implicated potential for language and technics.
This thought drew on both paleontology and cybernetics to think
the relation of gramme and programme. Différance
and the trace are essentially life, naming the fact that life is
the history of the inscription of the living onto matter, whether
as DNA, writing, or digital networks. The future of philosophical
thought, however, may depend not only on grasping this fact but
also on interpreting it, and on projecting it onto the question
of the future of what, until now, has been known as the human.
Dr
Daniel Ross lectures in the school of Political and Social
Inquiry at Monash University.

JULY:
LOST GARDEN FOUND
ANNA TWEEDALE
Thursday, 13 July at 7:30pm in Casey Plaza theatre 10.4.27
(enter via Bowen St) recording
available soon
It seems that
a focus on temporality and ‘events’ has taken priority
in how cultural investigation, development and production is approached
in contemporary cities. What effect does this have on the exploration
of the spatial possibilities of emerging technology and culture?
Do contemporary urban spatial models provide an adequate interface
to explore these possibilities?
Anna Tweeddale
discusses the role of particular models in the spatial exploration
of new media and culture in contemporary cities through addressing
a number of examples, from institutions such as galleries and museums
to festivals and ‘guerrilla’ approaches to the use of
urban space. Included amongst these will be the recent inter-media
art project Lost Garden Found, which references historical
garden typologies as a model to re-investigate the role of spatial
relationships in the individual’s engagement with technology
and culture.
Lost Garden
Found was an inter-media project presented at the 2006 Next
Wave Festival in Melbourne that consisted of artificial garden spaces
and an illustrated book. The project created an immersive audio-visual
garden environment (The Lost Gardens) as well as the illustrated
book (Lost Garden Found: The Sampler) which created a narrative
context to the gardens place in the city of Melbourne. Through these
mechanisms Lost Garden Found sought to reinvent the conventions
of audience interaction with inter-media art and installations.
Co-curators and artists Louise Terry and Anna Tweeddale gathered
12 other artists across the fields of architecture, installation,
soft sculpture, animation, video art, kinetic sound sculpture, illustration,
graphic design and printmaking.
Anna
Tweeddale is an architect and artist based in Melbourne.
Anna has also lived, worked and/or studied in Brisbane, London,
Berlin and most recently Barcelona where she is currently a master’s
candidate at the Metropolis Postgraduate Program in Architecture
and Urban Culture. As well as creating the project Lost
Garden Found as a part of the 2006 Next Wave Festival program,
Anna has been involved in a number of art and culture projects,
most notably the Straight Out of Brisbane Festival where she founded
and curated the Urban Theory content program in 2003-2004. Anna
has also been working with LAB architecture studio on projects in
China and the Middle East over the last two years.

From
the targeted demolition of Mostar’s Stari-Most Bridge
in 1993 to the physical and social havoc caused by the 2004
Boxing Day Tsunami, the history of cities is often a history
of destruction and reconstruction. But what political and
aesthetic criteria should guide us in the rebuilding of cities
devastated by war and natural calamities?
Dr
Esther Charlesworth is founding Director of Architects
without Frontiers (Australia) She has practiced architecture
and urban design in Melbourne, Sydney and New York since 1983
before completing her Masters of Architecture and Urban Design
at Harvard University in 1995. Between 1995-1999 she was Senior
Urban Designer with the City of Melbourne and is still director
of the CityEdge International Urban Design Series. Between
2000-2003, Esther was Assistant Professor of Architecture
and Urban Design at the American University of Beirut. She
has also lectured extensively in architecture and urban design
at RMIT, the University of Melbourne, MIT, and during 2004
at QUT in Brisbane. She completed her Doctorate of Philosophy
at the University of York (UK) in 2003.
Esther
is recipient of five major international research awards to
further her research into the role of architects in post-disaster
reconstruction and has just completed two books on the subject:
(1) ‘Divided Cities’ (Beirut, Belfast, Jerusalem,
Nicosia and Mostar), with colleague Jon Calame (University
of Penn Press, USA) and (2) ‘Architects Without Frontiers,
War, Reconstruction and Design Responsibility’ (Elsevier
Press, UK) She is currently a Senior Research Fellow in Sustainability,
Architecture and Urban Design at RMIT, Melbourne. |

The
levelling of buildings and cities has been an inevitable part
of conducting hostilities over the centuries but there has
always been another war against architecture going on –
the deliberate destruction of the cultural artefacts of an
enemy people or nation as a means of dominating, terrorizing,
dividing or eradicating it altogether. In
The Destruction of Memory, Robert Bevan examines
the politicized nature of such destruction, from the desecration
of Jewish synagogues in the 1930s to the annihilation of Islamic
heritage of Bosnia in the 1990s and beyond.
Robert
Bevan is an award-winning writer on architecture
and design. He is the former editor of the UK weekly Building
Design and is now based in Sydney where he contributes
to a number of magazines and newspapers. The
Destruction of Memory is his second book. |

Among the most
striking urbanscapes of Tokyo featuring in the film Lost in
Translation (2003) are those of Shibuya, an area famous in
Japan and abroad for being a centre of contemporary youth cultures.
The giant building-cum-television-screens that face on to the hub
of this district, Hachiko Crossing, provide an arresting site/sight
of urban spectacle for one of the film's protagonists, Charlotte
(Scarlett Johansson). Hypnotic media images simultaneously play
on the screen surfaces of several buildings while at the same time
enveloping those passing by in a noisy and dissonant mash-up of
competing soundtracks. Down at street level, one of the first things
that a visitor to contemporary Shibuya might also observe is the
equally striking ubiquitous presence of the rather smaller screens
of mobile telephones in the hands of individuals in the crowd. While
such a sight is now common in urban centres around the globe it
has a special resonance here, because, as a number of critics have
observed (Rheingold 2002, Ito 2005), Shibuya is globally synonymous
with a high-tech, keitai (mobile
telephone)-owning youth population whose practices have positioned
them at the cutting edge of emergent mobile media cultures. Screen
technologies--architectural, cinematic and miniature--are crucial
to understanding the nature of contemporary urban space and place
as it is produced and experienced in Shibuya. This paper draws on
the generative metaphor of un/wrapping outlined by Joy Hendry (1993)
in order to describe and analyse the ways in which technologies
such as the screen mediate the production and experience of Shibuya
as place.

This
lecture explores the work of two UK based organizations, each
of which looks to develop a creative society and foster creativity
in young people. I take up Deleuzian concepts of spatiality
to explore the work of two UK arts companies which seek to foster
creativity in young people. In contemporary cultural formations,
such creativity is often reduced to a social, economic and subjective
signifier of health or wealth. As Deleuze and Guattari (1994:
10) wryly note: ‘concepts
[like creativity] are products that can be sold. … the
one who packages the product, commodity, or work of art has
become the philosopher, conceptual persona, or artist’.
|
Consider a circumstance
in which a ‘creative thought’ is one that heals the
wounds of a distressed youth, or which yields advertising dollars.
Such situations are easy enough to find, as are members of Florida’s
(2002) ‘creative class’: those who profit financially
from the cultural capital of minoritarian communities. If creativity
as the differential becoming of the world (Deleuze 1994) is to be
nurtured through social formations, then new distinctions and connections
must be made between artistic technique, innovation, cultural capital,
and social and economic value. Via Deleuzian notions of creativity
and territory/territorialization, striation (Deleuze & Guattari
1987) and spatial folding (Deleuze 1993), I look to open up conceptualizations
of such politico-aesthetic assemblages.
I begin this
trajectory with the work of Creative Partnerships; an initiative
that brokers placements for arts practitioners in socially and economically
disadvantaged schools. I focus on a site in Margate, a coastal town
in Kent: a place with an ethnically diverse population. The neighboring
town of Dover is a primary entry point for asylum seekers and illegal
immigrants to the UK. Creative Partnerships explore issues of identity,
tolerance and ‘social equality’ as articulated in the
social fabric of Margate. The text I examine is one in which the
public art organization Artangel collaborated with filmmaker Penny
Woolcock in staging ‘The Margate Exodus’. As a contemporary
re-working of the Biblical tale, this film explores a community’s
search for a ‘Promised Land’ and the social pressures
that such journeys can produce. The work offers a mediation of macro
and micro social movements, as biographies, landscape, culture and
traditions are pleated into one text through filming live performance.
‘The Margate Exodus’ was made in conjunction with the
display of a photography project called ‘Towards a Promised
Land’, in which banner photographs hung across the centre
of Margate. This involved twenty-two young people who migrated to
the UK from places affected by war, poverty or political unrest.
With photographer Wendy Ewald, the children re-conceptualized their
diverse experiences of moving. The photographs produced were shown
on the walls of buildings in public spaces across the city, re-territorializing
the de-industrializing architectural space of the town. Buildings
became canvasses, and the faces of minoritarian children were accorded
new levels of visibility. Folding this re-inscription of town space
into the social politics surrounding migration in Margate, ‘The
Margate Exodus’ is a now a major feature film created with,
and featuring, the people of Margate. Across the film text, the
contention that social policy on immigration needs to be rethought
is articulated through the moving image and community involvement.
I move on to
discuss an institutionalized example of macro and micro scales of
social value being re-imagined through a place-based aesthetic politic.
Here, I turn to the ‘NewVIc’, Newham Sixth Form Arts
College at Stratford Circus. The Circus is a centre for the performing
arts and moving image, managed by NewVIc in collaboration with five
professional arts organizations . The Circus is a thoughtfully deigned,
well-equipped building in East London. It is run by an education
provider (NewVIc) as a site of arts education, yet also houses professional
dance, music, theatre and new media studios, and facilitates a range
of adult education programs. Through the Circus, local community
members, artists and educators are supported in becoming a creative
community. I examine how social policy and political climate has
striated, and been folded in to, aspects of the Arts Centre at Stratford
Circus. NewVIc’s work at Stratford and Creative Partnership’s
‘Margate Exodus’ project might respectively be considered
forms of, what I term, ‘making creative places’.

This lecture
is an early consideration of research interviews conducted as part
of a collaborative research project titled ‘MAKING CREATIVE
PLACES: Geographical places in North America, Australia and the
UK that foster creativity in young people’.
PROJECT BRIEF:
There is a notable lack of scholarly investigation into the pedagogical
strategies needed for young people to enter into, and contribute
to, Florida’s ‘creative class’. This research
engagement addresses a specific aspect of this gap in knowledge
by investigating the relationship between place, young people and
the ‘creative class’. With a focus on youth, and the
knowledges produced through place, we investigate how knowledges
of innovation are constructed and shared. Given the extent to which
Florida’s concepts of the ‘creative class’ and
creative cities have informed cultural development and city planning
across North America, Europe and Australia, the critical application
of his thought to young people will have significant benefits in
the fields of Education, Youth Studies, Cultural Policy and Urban
and Regional Planning. Our approach is significant because of our
focus on interdisciplinary places of learning that cross boundaries
between informal educational sites, communities and creative industries
and will provide a significant contribution to understandings of
the types of educational, social and economic benefits associated
with different places.

NOVEMBER:
(MY) CITIES MOVEMENTS AND INTERSECTIONS: NEW INTERVALS FOR CITY
LIFE
Prof. Ayse Sentürer, Istanbul Technical University

16 November 7:30pm in RMIT Theatre 8.11.68
(Enter via Swanston St: Bldg 8, level 11, theatre 68 -
to the right of the lifts)
YEAR-END
DRINKS FROM 6:30pm
This lecture
underlines the importance of understanding the complexities of “city
life” and reflecting that knowledge onto “architectural
design”. Thus it indicates the importance of acquiring that
knowledge and its tools and techniques. Within that perspective,
“critical-cultural attitude” and “cinematography”
referred to as “critical-cultural and cinematographic ‘city’
conceptions” are introduced and presented as a very essential
and creative design approach (tools and techniques) to acquire,
to simulate, and to transform that kind of knowledge. It brings
the possibility of converting the existing relationships into new
forms of space-time-life interactions, which will in turn open up
new possibilities for city life.
Moreover, those
ideas are delivered throughout the lecturer’s own journey
of becoming an architect, academic, and design studio critic and
which brings several cities into the spotlight, such as Istanbul,
and some architectural institutions such as Istanbul Technical University,
some architectural milieus such as design studios, and some architectural
discourses such as architecture and philosophy meetings.

+ Philosophy series provides a unique opportunity for a space of
exchange between the two disciplines. While what we provide is a
local space – Melbourne practitioners on Melbourne issues
– Architecture + Philosophy welcomes speakers from any discipline
to engage with questions of contemporary urbanism, planning, technology,
space, system, design, distribution and other issues in the productive
overlap between the two disciplines. We curate a diverse range of
presentations, from research students and established academics
to architecture and planning practitioners, policy makers, public
artists and those working in the world between theory, buildings
and the city.
