2. Prehistory

"The past life of émigrés is, as we know, annulled." (Theodor Adorno)

In 1975, after working for a year and a half as a Field Editor (Social Sciences) with the publishers, Macmillan, I left England to live in Spain. During the period in Spain I translated Orden y Caos by Prof. Manuel Conejero (University of Valencia), and prepared a translation of the Selected Poems of the 15th Century Catalan poet, Auzias March. In Italy (1977-1980) I worked on two book-length projects, The Lance and the Shield and The Venetian Eye (the latter with the assistance of a British Council scholarship, enabling me to spend a year in Venice). Neither of these typescripts was published: material from them is now, however, finding its proper place in my current work, notably in The Lie of the Land (1996). An English translation of Isola Donna, a long poem by Sicilian writer Salvo Porto was also completed (1980). Between 1975 and 1978 I wrote for the London-based magazines, Art and Artists and Books and Bookmen; I also contributed reviews to Poetry Nation Review. These articles dealt primarily with the relationship between poetry and painting, most notably in the work of Poliziano, Bernini, Salvator Rosa and Shelley. Reviews focused on contemporary Spanish and Italian poets, as well as the work of English writer and aesthetician, Adrian Stokes.

15. Material Thinking, Creative Research Studio

In ‘A Conversation about Value’ (August 2007) I addressed the University of Melbourne (Faculty and VC) about the opportunities my research presented to develop a Creative Research Incubator. The CRI proposal emerges from the experience of establishing Material Thinking, a creative research studio based in Melbourne, and designed to deliver place-making projects. The key point of ‘A Conversation about Value’ is that the best place in which to incubate better understandings of how we conceptualise, invent and design the physical world is in the ‘real world’ laboratory of community-initiated or –solicited design projects.

Current projects in development include:

2008 ‘Ghosts’, public domain strategy, Carlton and United Brewery redevelopment. Commissioned by Grocon.

2008 ‘Evolution Way’, temporary storyboard installed as public artwork and serving to initiate plans for the redevelopment of State Square, Darwin. Commissioned by Dept.

17

of Infrastructure and Planning (NT)

2008 ‘RiverConnect Reverse Brief’, proposal for a whole of community approach to the integration of Aboriginal cultural heritage into environmental masterplanning initiatives in a post-drought environment.

2007- ‘Care at a Distance’, a Design Options Framework’ for the revitalisation of the Alice Springs CBD, commissioned by NT Government and Alice Springs Town Council.

16. Current research projects, activities etc not already mentioned

Books

2008-9 Against Masterplanning, booklength manuscript in preparation, based on three place-making design projects currently in progress (Alice Springs, Shepparton, Victoria, Point Nepean, Victoria). A philosophical diary exploring the meanings of such key terms as plan, design and strategy in the context of community-based place-making projects. On completion of the projects and the diary, Dr. Emily Potter (APDF, Faculty of Architecure, Building and Planning, University of Melbourne) has been invited to edit the ms. and to write an introduction for its publication.

2008-10 Ground Truthing: GIS and the Fate of Place. Based initially on the 2006-2008 ARC Discovery listed above, this largely written book focuses on the double construction of places in the time of aerial surveillance. It explores the theoretical and practical implications of bringing entirely different discourses to bear on definitions of place and place-making.
