SUMMARY:The Carrick Fox Dilemma
DESCRIPTION:The Carrick Fox Dilemma\, revolves around the naming conventions and legacy of Ethel Carrick Fox\, a pioneering artist whose works have been celebrated in various exhibitions. Capel’s work has sparked discussions and debates about how artists should be recognized posthumously\, particularly in the context of female artists and their contributions to the art world. The dilemma arises from the different ways in which her works have been catalogued and exhibited\, leading to questions about the most appropriate name to use for her legacy. Capel’s insights and research have been instrumental in shedding light on the complexities surrounding Ethel Carrick Fox’s identity and the challenges faced by artists in the posthumous recognition of their work. \nDates and Locations \nWednesday 8 April 2026 Orange (NSW) \nClick on your preferred location above for more details and to book tickets.

SUMMARY:Degenerates and Perverts: The 1939 Herald Exhibition on Modern Art

SUMMARY:The Earth Above: A Deep Time View of Australia's Epic History
DESCRIPTION:The vast age of our planet and the enormous transformations it has undergone can be difficult to grasp. This lecture explores the creative journey behind The Earth Above: A Deep Time View of Australia’s Epic History\, a unique and immersive planetarium show that bridges this gap. We will examine the innovative production model\, a “collective storytelling practice” that moved away from a single director’s vision.

The lecture will examine the creative processes through which Indigenous and Western scientific knowledge were woven together\, creating a tapestry of sound and vision. \nDates and Locations \nWednesday 22 April 2026 Adelaide (SA) \nClick on your preferred location above for more details and to book tickets.
