×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlog

Don't miss out on Research Tuesdays Seminar presented by Dr John Carty on 14 June, 2016.

Dr John Carty is Head of Anthropology at the South ×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlogn Museum.

The value of the South ×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlogn Museum is unquestioned.ÌýIt holds among the most extensive and important collections of Aboriginal creativity and material culture in the world. But what values, and whose values, does a museum promote in the way it cares for and displays art and material culture? How does this differ from the role of an Art Gallery? And where on North Terrace, if anywhere, does the extraordinary narrative of Aboriginal art history play out?

×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlog is home to the most interesting, continuous and dynamic artistic traditions on our planet. Yet this story gets diluted in the divisions between art galleries and museums, between their collections, and between the intellectual traditions such as art history and anthropology that interpret them.

In this lecture we walk the laneway between the Art Gallery of South ×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlog and the South ×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlogn Museum, and explore the competing, complementary and evolving roles that ×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlogn cultural institutions play in reshaping the narratives of ×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlogn art and history.
