THE UNWRITTEN HISTORY OF AUSTRALIAN MODERNISM

大多数历史书将澳大利亚的现代主义视为一种艺术现象。或者干脆画画。相反，这个项目将揭示现代主义在一系列媒体(设计、摄影、广告、建筑和艺术)中高度公开的影响。这部新的历史将更好地解释现代主义视觉习语是如何在最初受到敌意的欢迎后，在日常的当代设计和我们的建筑环境中变得无处不在的。该项目将对关于澳大利亚现代主义的大量但不同的档案进行综合研究分析。它将通过一项新的学术研究、一个大型巡回公共展览、一张CD和一个网站来交流其研究成果。

Most histories treat modernism in Australia as a phenomenon of ?fine art,? or simply painting. This project will instead reveal modernism's highly public impact across a range of media (design, photography, advertising, architecture and art). This new history will better explain how modernist visual idioms became ubiquitous in everyday contemporary design and our built environment after their initial, often hostile reception. The project will provide an integrated research analysis of the extensive, but disparate, archives on Australian modernism. It will communicate its research findings through a new scholarly study, a major large-scale travelling public exhibition, a CD, and a website.
