Sydney Then and Now
Sydney is graced with natural beauty - a vast and ancient flooded valley, it is a waterscape of beaches, rivers, bays and harbour with sandstone beneath and eucalyptus around its shores. Sydney's European history covers scarcely more than 200 years, however it was home to a number of Aboriginal clans for centuries before that. There is a complex story of interaction between the urban and the natural. A unique sense of place has evolved over time with fragments of the past intertwined with the bold and the new. Most of the historic photos in this book catch Sydney scenes of about a century ago, in the decades just before and after the Federation of the British colonies to form Australia. Sydn...

The Other Moderns
While Harry Seidler is one of Australia’s most famous architects, little is known of his European-born contemporaries. The Other Moderns uncovers the work of Sydney’s forgotten émigré architects, interior designers, and furniture makers working from the 1930s to 1960s, and reveals their groundbreaking impact on modernist design. Highlighting the direct connections between Sydney and the European design centres of Vienna, Berlin, and Budapest, the book provides a new understanding of modernism. Profiling the work of architects like Henry Epstein and Hugo Stossel, along with Gerstl Furniture, The Other Moderns tells the story of the network of architects, designers, property developers, retailers, and photographers working together to bring a distinctly European style to mid-century Australia. Richly illustrated with rare photography, including stunning images from Austrian-born photographer Margaret Michaelis, and furniture from the collection of Hotel Hotel Canberra, the book explores the work of this unacknowledged group of style makers for the first time.

Australian Artists in the Contemporary Museum
This unique book proposes a re-reading of the relationship between artists and the contemporary museum. In Australia in particular, the museum has played a significant role in the colonial project and this has generally been considered as the predominant mode of artists' engagement with such institutions and collections. Australian Artists in the Contemporary Museum expands the post-colonial frame of reference used to interpret this work, to demonstrate the broader implications of the relationship between artists and the museum, and thus to offer an alternative way of understanding recent contemporary practices. The authors' central argument is that artists' engagement with the museum has sh...
