Australian fiction: an exhibition of material from the Monash University Rare Book Collection, 5 June - 29 September 2003
No full textThe exhibition was held in the Rare Books Exhibition space, Sir Louis Matheson Library, Monash University from 5 June - 29 September 2003. Reading fiction set in Australia from the early nineteenth-century to the present is a way of understanding our pre-occupations and national characteristics. It presents a rich field of study and research and is also a still-affordable field for collecting. The exhibition covers our national output of fiction from 1845 to 2000 and includes such rarities as Ned Kelly, the ironclad Australian bushranger, published in 1881, less than a year after his execution; Henry Lawson's first book, Short stories in prose and verse (1894); and Melbourne and Mars (1889), an early example of Australian science fiction
Tourism in Australia: an exhibition of material from the Monash University Library Rare Books Collection 22 October 2003 - March 2004
No full textThe exhibition was held in the Rare Books Exhibition space, Sir Louis Matheson Library, Monash University from 22 October 2003 - March 2004 Opening address given by Peter Spearritt. This exhibition on Tourism includes material that shows how we Australians have promoted ourselves to others at various times in the past. It provides some intriguing insights into how tourism has evolved, not to mention the strangeness of seeing familiar places in the past. For example there are some fascinating and rare guide books giving people tours of Melbourne and suburbs in 1870's and 1880's.

Art + film.
No full textCatalogue of an exhibition held at the Centre for Contemporary Photography, Fitzroy, 24 July - 24 August 2003"The exhibition features a range of emerging and established Australian artists, whose work responds to the cinematic experience, either through direct appropriation of films, stylistic and thematic references to particular movies, or through in-depth analysis of film's very materiality - its particular blend of light and time. In a discursive sense film can accomplish what many philosophical theories cannot: the human capacity to model the world and to play at modelling possible worlds."Curators: Natasha Bullock and Brendan Lee.
