Wetlands and Western Cultures
In Wetlands and Western Cultures: Denigration to Conservation, Rod Giblett examines the portrayal of wetlands in Western culture and argues for their conservation. Giblett’s analysis of the wetland motif in literature and the arts, including in Beowulf and the writings of Tolkien and Thoreau, demonstrates two approaches to wetlands—their denigration as dead waters or their commendation as living waters with a potent cultural history.

Arthur Boyd
The focus of this exhibition catalogue is on the life and work of the significant Australian artist Arthur Boyd, internationally recognised and a central figure in the formation of Australian art history. His work will be shown alongside that of his contemporaries, such as Nolan and Blackman, whose work has shaped the identity of Australian culture. The exhibition suggests a renewed contemporary relevance in Boyd’s artwork, enlarging our understanding of his contribution as an artist and locating him as an individual engaged in the urgent issues of his time – many of which remain salient today, especially for regional and remote audiences. Over seven decades of his life Boyd felt it his social responsibility to express opposition to social inequities, discrimination, environmental destruction, human suffering, industrialisation, commercial greed, authority and the madness of war. The exhibition includes the work of a wide range of significant modern Australian artists including: Arthur Boyd, Yvonne Boyd, David Boyd, Sidney Nolan, Charles Blackman, Leonard French and Joy Hester.
