Köken Ergun & Marilyn Lake in conversation about Heroes/Şehitler - Artspace Sydney
A conversation between filmmaker Köken Ergun and Historian Marilyn Lake about Köken Ergun's film Heroes on Gallipoli/Çanakkale.
23 April 2018
Artspace Sydney - As part of Köken Ergun's solo exhibition at Artspace: Heroes (12.04-12.05 2018)
Each year, crowds of Turkish, Australian and New Zealander tourists travel to Gallipoli, Turkey for a modern day pilgrimage. They honor their fallen soldiers who lost their lives in the Gallipoli/Çanakkale Campaign—one of the bloodiest conflicts of World War One—, which is considered as a defining moment in the establishment of the Turkish nation state as well as the beginning of national consciousness in Australia and New Zealand. With heightened emotions, they move around the historical battlefields, graves and war monuments with the help of guided tours tailored for each community. Over the course of two years, Köken Ergun joined various Gallipoli tours, recording divergent war narratives told by different tour guides, emotional reactions of their audience, interviews with tour participants and patriotic theatre plays organized by the Turkish state. The resulting film offers a rare insight into how nationalist emotions are kept alive through a ‘tourism of martyrdom’.
Marilyn Lake is is an Australian historian known for her work on the effects of the military and war on Australian civil society, the political history of Australian women and Australian racism including the White Australia Policy and the movement for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander human rights. Her publications include What's Wrong with ANZAC? The Militarisation of Australian History (2010) with Henry Reynolds, Memory, Monuments and Museums (2006) and Getting Equal: The History of Australian Feminism.
Köken Ergun is a Turkish artist working in film and installation. His films often deal with communities that are not known to a greater public and the importance of ritual in such groups. His films include The Flag (winner of Tiger Award for Short Film at the 2007 Rotterdam Film Festival), I, Soldier (Documenta14) and Ashura (winner of the Special Mention Prize at the 2013 Berlinale). Ergun’s works are included in public collections such as the Centre Pompidou, Greek Museum of Contemporary Art, Stadtmuseum Berlin and Kadist Foundation.

Cultural Mediation in Practice
Highlights of a workshop held at Artspace, Sydney, 26 August 2019.
Widely recognised as an invaluable tool by institutions across Europe, cultural mediation generally refers to the process of gaining and negotiating knowledge about the arts and social or scientific phenomena through exchange, reaction and creative response. Cultural mediators work within organisations to improve the quality of the public’s visit to the museum or gallery and to broaden the possible ways of experiencing and interacting with an object and its context.
Presented by Museums & Galleries of NSW in partnership Artspace, this workshop explored cultural mediation through a day of talks and practical activities. Accompanying workshops trained participants in the basics of mediation and how to be an art mediator.

More about the Art Gallery of New South Wales from Wikipedia:
The Art Gallery of New South Wales (AGNSW), located in The Domain in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, is the most important public gallery in Sydney and one of the largest in Australia.
The Gallery's first public exhibition opened in 1874. Admission is free to the general exhibition space, which displays Australian art (from settlement to contemporary), European and Asian art. A dedicated Asian Gallery was opened in 2003.
On 24 April 1871, a public meeting was convened in Sydney to establish an Academy of Art 'for the purpose of promoting the fine arts through lectures, art classes and regular exhibitions.'
From 1872 until 1879 the Academy's main activity was the organisation of annual art exhibitions. The first exhibition of colonial art, under the auspices of the Academy, was held at the Chamber of Commerce, Sydney Exchange in 1874.
In 1875 Apsley Falls by Conrad Martens, commissioned by the trustees and purchased for £50 out of the first government grant of £500, became the first work on paper by an Australian artist to be acquired by the Gallery.
The Gallery’s collection was first housed at Clark’s Assembly Hall in Elizabeth Street where it was open to the public on Friday and Saturday afternoons.
The collection was relocated in 1879 to a wooden annexe to the Garden Palace built for the Sydney International Exhibition in the Domain and was officially opened as The Art Gallery of New South Wales. In 1882, the first Director, Eliezer Montefiore and his fellow trustees opened the art gallery on Sunday afternoons from 2 pm to 5 pm. Montefiore believed:
... the public should be afforded every facility to avail themselves of the educational and civilising influence engendered by an exhibition of works of art, bought, moreover, at the public expense.
The destruction of the Garden Palace by fire in 1882 placed pressure on the government to provide a permanent home for the national collection.
In 1883 private architect John Horbury Hunt was engaged by the trustees to submit designs. The same year there was a change of name to The National Art Gallery of New South Wales. The Gallery was incorporated by The Library and Art Gallery Act 1899.
In 1895, the new Colonial Architect, Walter Liberty Vernon (1846–1914), was given the assignment to design the new permanent gallery and two picture galleries were opened in 1897 and a further two in 1899. A watercolour gallery was added in 1901 and in 1902 the Grand Oval Lobby was completed.
Over 300,000 people came to the Gallery during March and April 1906 to see Holman Hunt’s painting The Light of the World. In 1921, the inaugural Archibald Prize was awarded to W.B. McInnes for his portrait of architect Desbrowe Annear. The equestrian statues The offerings of peace and The offerings of war by Gilbert Bayes were installed in front of the main facade in 1926.[5] James Stuart MacDonald was appointed director and secretary in 1929. In 1936 the inaugural Sulman Prize was awarded to Henry Hanke for La Gitana. John William Ashton was appointed director and secretary in 1937.
The first woman to win the Archibald Prize was Nora Heysen in 1938 with her portrait Mme Elink Schuurman, the wife of the Consul General for the Netherlands. The same year electric light was temporarily installed at the Gallery to remain open at night for the first time. In 1943 William Dobell won the Archibald Prize for Joshua Smith, causing considerable controversy. Hal Missingham was appointed director and secretary in 1945.
In 1958 the Art Gallery of New South Wales Act was amended and the Gallery’s name reverted to The Art Gallery of New South Wales.
Hope you guys learnt something new! Catch you soon :)
Consuelo Cavaniglia
Presentation at Museum & Galleries of NSW event ArtChat, 14 September 2018.
Consuelo Cavaniglia is an interdisciplinary artist whose work focuses on how we see and understand space. Taking its cues from film, photography and architecture the work employs technically simple visual effects to distort perception and unsettle the relationship between viewer and space.
Consuelo is the 2016 recipient of the NSW Visual Arts Fellowship (Emerging) and has exhibited extensively across Australia including Artspace, Sydney (2017), Perth Centre for Photography (2017); Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts (2015); Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery, Perth (2013)
She has an MFA from Sydney College of the Arts and is a lecturer in the Faculty of Architecture, Design and Planning at the University of Sydney. She was selected in 2015 to present at Cities in a Climate of Change, the International Award for Public Art Conference in Auckland, and has been on the board of artist-run spaces Firstdraft and 55 Sydenham Road. Independent curatorial projects have consistently flanked her practice – she has developed projects in galleries, museums and public spaces.
Consuelo is represented by Station, Melbourne and Kronenberg Wright Artists Projects, Sydney.

NEVER TOO SMALL ep.24 24sqm Micro Apartment - Boneca
Aptly named Boneca Apartment (doll’s house in Portuguese) by the client, designed by architect Brad Swartz – this 24 square meter Sydney apartment has a sense of luxury and refinement way beyond its size. Realigning the bathroom and kitchen created a long living and dining zone, and a screened sleeping alcove, both oriented to the view.

Perched on the East Coast of Australia, Sydney, is the vibrant capital of New South Wales.
The Sydney Tower is the perfect way to get acquainted with the city. From Circular Quay it's possible to get almost anywhere else in the city. Nearby is Sydney Harbour Bridge. Just across it is Luna Park, renowned for its vintage fairground rides.
A short ferry ride from Luna Park is Darling Harbour, home to the National Maritime Museum. A few blocks away is the Powerhouse Museum.
Sydney Opera House is Sydney's most iconic sight. Behind it are the Royal Botanic
Gardens and the Sydney Domain, containing Government House, and the Art Gallery of New South Wales.
Across the Pyrmont Bridge is the Sydney Sea Life Aquarium. More creatures can be found at the Wild Life Sydney and Taronga Zoo.
