Curator: Dr Kyla McFarlane

Found or anonymous photographic images and film footage are a fascinating subject for many artists. The snapshot, the amateur photograph, the flea market find, the postcard, videos uploaded to youtube, and the work of the anonymous, jobbing photographer have all provided material fodder, or acted as conceptual springboards for making new work.

Engaging with this material, the artists in Photographer Unknown enact a series of reversals, reprisals and re-workings - bringing the snapshot to the status of the fine art print, calling into question conventions of authorship, quality, the public and private, the nature of the archive and monumentality.

17th Lucinda Lecture - Section 92: markets, protectionism and proportionality - Australian & Euorpean perspectives

Primary information

Date: Thursday November 19, 2009
Time: 6 - 7 pm
Location: Monash University Law Chambers, 472 Bourke Street Melbourne
Cost: Free
Description:

Presenter: The Honourable Justice Susan Kiefel

Recent cases involving s.92 of the Constitution refer to economic considerations and principles relating to competition. The application of provisions of the EC Treaty having similar effect, by the European Court of Justice, has led to a broader consideration of the effects of State regulation on the ideal of a common market and a lessening of the relevance of domestic protection. It has tested what is permissible State regulation by the doctrine of proportionality. The paper will compare the current Australian perspective.
