Frank Guarino
Cyberspace
Project Space

Cyberspace has become a catchphrase, indicating a place of possibility and fantasy where relevant activities of the New Age are found. In his own Cyberspace Frank Guarino redefines the word as pictorial space. By juxtaposing the reality of location and position in relation to the interface and the idyllic image from cyberspace, Guarino exposes the dis-association of our everyday experience through the distractions of electronic media.

Photo-Synthesis: Explorations into Contemporary Photomedia
2002 CCP Lecture series

Wednesday October 23 @ 6.30pm
Charles Green
Atlas: Images versus Language

Charles Green begins this lecture with Terry Smith's question: What has been the fate of the image in modernity? Arguing that a range of influential contemporary theorists respond overwhelmingly with a farewell, in the now familiar vocabulary of simulacra, the return of the real, and the depletion of an image's auratic presence, Green agrees that this 'image crisis' is best observed in photography and on the screen. However, the much-vaunted interdisciplinarity of critical theory turned out to be almost entirely one-way, commencing with the seismic 1980s importation of theory into art practice, art theorists today propose different viewpoints - that artists can produce new knowledge through images, and at the same time that images must not be reduced to writing. Other theorists argue that we are on the verge of a new understanding of visuality propelled by new media. Weighing up approaches to the image and finding them wanting, Green speculates as to how and why recent international art has arrived at a conception of itself that is different from both pre-modern art and postmodernism.

Dr Charles Green is a senior lecturer in the School of Fine Arts, Classics and Archaeology at the University of Melbourne, and Adjunct Senior Curator 20th-21st Century Art, National Gallery of Victoria. He is also an artist, working collaboratively with Lyndell Brown since 1989. A regular contributor of articles and reviews to Australian and international art journals, notably Artforum, his book publications include Peripheral Vision: Contemporary Australian Art 1970-94 (Craftsman House, 1995) and The Third Hand: Artist Collaborations from Modernism to Conceptualism (University of Minnesota Press, 2001). He is currently working on a major history of Australian art after 1968.
