Art Centre Architecture
This book examines the architecture of Aboriginal art centres in the Northern Territory. Art centres emerged in Australia in the 1970s alongside Aboriginal self-determination and the rise of the Indigenous art market. Primarily located in remote communities and towns, their economic and social value has been widely acknowledged. Together with supporting artists and facilitating the production and sale of art works, they provide an invaluable safe space for community to come together and to practice Culture. Art centres occupy existing, adapted or purpose-designed buildings, often developed over time, with varying degrees of architect involvement. While each art centre is specific to Country ...
Art Is Not What You Think It Is
Art Is Not What You Think It Is utilizes original research to present a series of critical incursions into the current state of debate on the idea of art, making manifest what has been largely missing or unsaid in those discussions.

Tourism Art and Souvenirs
This book examines the relationship between art and tourism through the study of the material culture of tourism: tourist art and souvenirs. It thoroughly examines how to categorise the material culture of tourism within the discourses of contemporary art and cultural anthropology, and demonstrates that tourist art is a unique expression of place and genuine artistic style. The first investigation to consider the activity of souvenirs from both indigenous and settler tourist sites, it brings a unique addition to the existing, dated, research in the area. Working initially from Graburn’s definition of tourist art, as the art of one culture made specifically for the consumption of another, T...

The Hard Light of Day
A story of whitefella-blackfella friendship that offers hope for the future. Two years after artist Rod Moss arrived in Alice Springs to teach painting, he met an Indigenous couple who had set up camp in the gully beside his flat. Over the next twenty-five years, his friendship with Xavier and Petrina Neil and the friendships that grew from it with the families of Whitegate, an Arrernte camp on the outskirts of town, would nourish and challenge Moss beyond his imagining. "The Hard Light of Day" offers a rare insight into the reality of life in the Centre, from the contours of the MacDonnell Ranges and the textures and sounds of Arrernte culture, to the endemic violence, alcoholism and ill-health that continue to devastate Aboriginal lives. In recalling the relationships and experiences that have shaped his life and work in Alice Springs, Moss reveals the human face behind the statistics and celebrates the enriching, transformative power of friendship. Illustrated with Moss's evocative paintings and photographs, "The Hard Light of Day" is an incredible journey into a world never shown in the mainstream media, and an artist's chronicle of the moments that have inspired him.
