If there are diverse kinds of knowledge and ways of knowing place, then we need to learn to value the different ways each of us sees a single place that is significant, but differently so, for each perspective.

The Ipswich House: Heritage house portraits « Previous | |Next »
September 1, 2010

The Ipswich Art Gallery in Queensland has an upcoming exhibition entitled The Ipswich House: Heritage house portraits. The blurb states that this exhibition is a:

picturesque and illuminating foray into the history and vision of Queensland’s early domestic architecture as seen through the eyes of 13 contemporary Queensland artists, The Ipswich House examines the city’s significant architectural heritage through a selection of commissioned ‘house portraits’ across a diverse range of mediums. These house portraits are more than mere pictorial representations of the city’s heritage-listed buildings, instead offering explorations into the architectural design, construction and fabrication methods while also exposing more than a hint of the personal histories and memories of their former residents.

At this stage there is only one image from the exhibition online --one by Jane Burton, who is Brisbane born, was educated at the Tasmanian School of Art, Hobart, and is a photographic artist who now lives in Melbourne. She has previously appeared on junk for code:

So we really have little idea of the content of the exhibition. Things won't change much when the exhibition is up and running since Ipswich Art Gallery has a limited online presence. So we have no idea how the various artists in the exhibition represent Queensland’s early domestic architecture, or the rationale for this exhibition.
