I speak today of the ANU School of Art because I had the pleasure of attending the school to view the Made In Taiwan exhibition last month. The exhibit was held at the school’s art gallery and was organised by the school in conjunction with the Taiwan Academy of Fine Arts and the College of Humanities at the National Taiwan University of Arts. This exhibition followed on from previous Taiwanese exhibits held at the ANU School of Art, including The Sight Of Formosa in 2011 and the Oriental Spectacle in 2013.
The exhibit ran for three weeks, from 10 to 31 May. I would like to congratulate the curators of the exhibition, Dr Hsin-Tien Liao and You-Hui Chung, on the wonderful job that they did. I would also like to congratulate everyone involved at the Taiwan Academy of Fine Arts. The Taiwan Academy of Fine Arts is an organisation devoted to improving art exchange and resource sharing between Taiwan and the world, and the promotion of art development in Taiwan. I congratulate them on putting on such a fine show.
I would like to take this opportunity to encourage members to consider attending an event at the ANU School of Art. Upcoming events include Contemplating Crace: First Thoughts from 11 June to 21 June, Random 2014 from 11 July to 18 July, Articulate Objects—Janet DeBoos from 22 August to 13 September, and Art and Morality, which will run on 19 September and 20 September this year.
Finally, I would like to thank and congratulate the staff, lecturers, fellows and technical officers at the ANU School of Art. In particular, I would like to acknowledge the head of school, Associate Professor Denise Ferris, the school manager, Barbara McConchie, the school administrators, Krystie Innes, Amy Kerr-Menz, Anne Masters and Cindy DePina, the undergraduate convenor, Anne Brennan, the honours convenor, Dr Rachel Ormella, the graduate course convenor, Dr Alison Munro, the director of the Centre for Art History and Art Theory and convenor of higher degree research, Professor Helen Hennis, and the Professor of Art (Practice-led Research), Professor Anthea Callen.
I commend the ANU School of Art for holding the Made in Taiwan exhibition. For more information about the ANU School of Art I encourage all members to visit their website at www.soa.anu.edu.au.
