In transit : questions of home & belonging in New Zealand art
No full textThis essay, the revised text of a lecture by Leonard Bell, offers a thoughtful reading of works by two artists, photographer Marti Friedlander and painter Douglas MacDiarmid, each of whom have occupied positions as outsiders, one as a migrant to New Zealand, the other an expatriate, treating this as an occasion to explore concepts of home and belonging. Bell's lecture was delivered on 6 December 2006 at the City Gallery in Wellington. It is the fifth in Victoria University's Art History Lecture Series, and the fourth to be delivered as the Gordon H. Brown Lecture

John Lockyer O’Brien (1905–1965) was an historian at the University. His collection of about 4,000 photographs was taken in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Many of them capture the architecture and streetscapes of inner-city Melbourne when the area was in transition between its then 19th century topography and working-class status prior to large-scale demolitions to made way for the construction of the Housing Commission high-rise blocks, and middle-class migration back to the inner-city and subsequent renovation and gentrification of its housing. He was also interested in the early architecture of country Victoria and photographed 19th century homesteads, hotels, churches, banks, railway stations, as well as humbler buildings. He and his wife Laurie owned and resided in a double-storey Georgian-style bluestone house in Hanover Street, Fitzroy.
Inscription: "Swinburne House (Victorian Children's Aid Society) Leonard St., Parkville" is written in ink on the back of the photograph.207096

Nostalgia for intimacy
No full textThis essay, the edited text of a lecture by Robert Leonard, offers a personal and pointed account of the character of the New Zealand art scene from the 1970s to the 1990s. Basing his analysis on first hand engagement as one of this country's foremost curators and commentators, Leonard situates this period within the continuum of New Zealand art history to track a shift from nationalist to post-nationalist positions, using the notion of 'intimacy' rather than 'distance' as his discursive frame
