This week I completed, to full draft, the Fieldworking project, which was funded by the Visual Arts Board of the Australia Council. Fieldworking was intended as a year-long art writing project that would topologically and topographically examine public art and cultural space. In a general sense, this is what I am referring to by the […]

I quite liked this call for papers (RGS 2014 Conference) as it succinctly and thoughtfully – even carefully – captures some interleaving of design and care (as care). It’s in keeping with some of the terrain covered during the Long Time, No See? Project. The questions are particularly important for reflecting on the project’s trajectory […]

I’m trying to order my thoughts about the Long Time, No See? project and experience, particularly the interrelated processes of writing and participation. At some point, I am will need to contribute to some writing and/or documentation that reveals the ‘research’ trajectory and the nature of the artistic inquiry.

With several workshop and presentation events marked in the Long Time, No See? Project’s diary, I’ve been giving some thought to various ideas informing the project and how we can make the most of them for our conversations with others.

In part the old story is characterised by the project’s Artistic Director, Keith Armstrong, as “the storm we call progress” […]

This week the Long Time, No See? project team was testing and readying the web interface/app thingy for the walkshop in Aspley. It’s been a massive effort with a little heartbreak along the way. John and I also ventured into the field for testing running the web interface on my mobile phone and referring to […]

For my current research on Fieldworking, I am reading various works on walking. Several tabs are open on my browser as I flip between key texts to develop the framework for the project: Art of Fieldwork, Mental Maps, Ways of Walking … This morning, and pursuant to my earlier post about pathways, sites and territories, […]

I’m writing at the meeting point of a few writings and threads, including my current immersion in revising the workshop for Long Time, No See? for which I’m addressing the recognition of traditional owners and this has triggered some connections … Aspley is located in the traditional territories of the Turrbal people who occupied the […]

Here are some extracts from research completed for Aboriginal and Cultural Heritage Assessments produced last year. Over a few projects, I endeavoured to consider the interweave of geography and history with a view to recognising that sites alone are not representative of the Aboriginal view of land and culture. In fact, I think a focus […]
