Hello from the new AN4AA co-ordinators! 

 

Dear AN4AA community,  

 

We are pleased to be writing to you as the new AN4AA co-ordinating group for 2023-26. Our team includes Michelle Antoinette (Monash University, Melbourne), Alex Burchmore (Australian National University, Canberra), Tammy Wong Hulbert (RMIT University, Melbourne), Russell Kelty (Art Gallery of South Australia, Adelaide) and Olivier Krischer (UNSW, Sydney).  

 

On behalf of the AN4AA community, we’d like to express our sincere thanks to our prior AN4AA co-ordinators Claire Roberts, Chaitanya Sambrani, Mark Erdmann and Wulan Dirgantoro, for all their work establishing the network’s foundational activities and creating an important space for profiling and sharing current Asian art research, especially through the ‘AN4AA Curatorial Talks Series’ and the ‘Postgraduate Workshop: Asian Art Now’ . We hope to build on their excellent work and continue to give visibility to Asian art research in Australia and New Zealand in both the arts sector and the academy.  

 

As we settle into our new roles, we are starting to plan the 2023 instalment in our ongoing series of postgraduate workshops, which have been greatly valued by the postgraduate community, especially as a platform for connecting with other scholars across Australia and New Zealand, and for sharing research in progress.  

 

We are currently seeking Expressions of Interest from postgraduate students in Australia and New Zealand focused on Asian art research, who would value the experience of representing the AN4AA postgraduate community and undertaking leadership roles for key AN4AA postgraduate activities. This is particularly through convening the postgraduate workshop, as well as facilitating a reading group.

·         whose study is focused on any aspect of Asian art history and theory, art practices, curatorial or arts management, and/or museum and heritage studies and; 

·         who would ideally be able to commit to this role for any period between 1-3 years (can be negotiated)

 
Main duties include: 

·          To convene the Postgraduate: Asian Art Now Workshop, which showcases current postgraduate research across Australia and New Zealand 

·         To facilitate a programme of occasional Asian Art reading group meetings

 

How to apply:  

·         Please send us an ‘Expression of Interest’ letter
(Briefly introduce yourself and your current area of study, 100-200 words max).  

·         EOIs may be sent to the AN4AA co-ordinators c/o:  alexander...@sydney.edu.au

  

Applications close: Friday 6^th October 2023 

 

 

We’re looking forward to working with the new postgraduate representatives and the wider AN4AA community! 

 

Kind regards,  

Michelle, Alex, Tammy, Russell and Olivier

As we transition into the next three-year term of AN4AA, we are seeking new Postgraduate representatives, and are planning for the next postgraduate workshop.
