Hi! Kate here, just thought I'd share this awesome event coming up at the VCA in July :) Some Artists & Philosophers Walked into a Room... One-Day Symposium The Victorian College of the Arts would like to invite to an insightful symposium with leading local and international philosophers, visual artists, academics and experts. Theme: A work might be experienced in numerous ways—in person, online, across multiple versions, as a record, diagram, report, description, witness account, podcast, video, plan, remix, or even as a scalable aggregate of elements. Perhaps, once we consider the world of a work of art as a constellation of elements, the indeterminacy of art is given a more conspicuous materiality. Where is a work of art Is there an optimum or primary point of entry into a work of art Chairs: Sean Lowry (VCA) and Jenny McMahon (University of Adelaide) Presenters/Commentators: Prof Barbara Bolt, Dr Elizabeth Burns Coleman, Dr Edward Colless, Dr Cate Consandine, Claire Healy & Sean Cordeiro, Associate Prof Justin Clemens, Prof Cynthia Freeland, Vanessa Godden, Dr Andrew Goodman, Prof Paul Guyer, Raafat Ishak, Dr Kate Just, Dr Tessa Laird, Claire Lambe, Dr Sean Lowry, Associate Prof David Macarthur, Prof Mohan Matthen, Prof Jennifer A.

This Wednesday there is a free one-day symposium presenting new perspectives on the National Gallery of Victoria’s Art School: Academia and Bohemia: New Perspectives on the National Gallery School Federation Hall, Grant Street VCA Wednesday 21 June, 2017 10:30am - 6:30pm You are invited to hear a group of experts, including Michael Varcoe- Cocks, Professor Catherine Speck, Dr Stephen Mead, Dr Bronwyn Hughes, Alex Ellem, Associate Professor Alison Inglis, Annelies Van de Ven, and David Belzycki, discuss different aspects of the history of this remarkable Art School, focusing on its early years from 1867 to World War One. Many luminaries of Australian art history were students or teachers at the School during this time – including Eugene von Guerard, George Folingsby, Tom Roberts, Arthur Streeton, Jane Sutherland, Frederick McCubbin, Bernard Hall, Rose MacPherson (Margaret Preston), Hugh Ramsay, among others. The links between the National Gallery School and Melbourne’s lively bohemian culture will be a major theme of the symposium, with the keynote lecture on the famous “9 by 5 Impression Exhibition” of 1889 being presented by Terence Lane, an acknowledged expert in this field, and former Senior Curator of Australian Art at the National Gallery of Victoria. After the keynote address, from 6.30-7.30 pm, there will be refreshments in the Margaret Lawrence Gallery at the VCA, with Fiona Gruber in conversation with Elizabeth Gower, and a viewing of 9 X 5 NOW Exhibition. This symposium is organised by the Australian Institute of Art History (AIAH) in the Faculty of Arts in collaboration with the Victorian College of the Arts (VCA), as part of the celebrations in honour of the 150th anniversary of the Victorian College of the Arts. Free, but bookings are required. https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/art150-9-x-5-symposium-tickets-34560956752aff=FacultySite

Art Education Victoria are committed to providing professional learning opportunities that provide development for primary and secondary teachers who teach with and through art.
