The EXHIBITIONS page
We are extending
our coverage of exhibitions that treat of our period, the ‘long’ fin-de-siècle
This will take a while to build up, and to get the format quite right, and as always we welcome news from our readers of exhibitions in their local museums and galleries: this include exhibitions devoted to the writers or composers of the period. We will also include other arts news, either here or under Publications and Papers or The Critic as Critic. University readers might like to draw the attention of colleagues in their Department of Art History to this. We especially welcome offers to review.
New exhibitions will be given as a rolling list, the latest ones being added each month, old ones being removed on expiry: ‘still running’ refers to the date of this edition of THE OSCHOLARS. There are two Tables of Contents, one linking to each month’s entry, the other in alphabetical order, but the list itself has been changed into chronological order. For exhibitions (and other matter) concerned with James McNeill Whistler, see our supplement NOCTURNE.

Australian
Impressionism looks at 'plein air' and direct painting in Australia in the late
nineteenth century. It focuses on the five major artists of the movement -
Charles Conder, Frederick McCubbin, Tom Roberts, Arthur Streeton, and Jane
Sutherland - in the momentous fourteen years from 1883 (Tom Roberts'
introduction to direct painting in Granada) to 1897 (Arthur Streeton's
departure for Europe).
Australian Impressionism, the first exhibition on the subject since the
ground-breaking and immensely popular exhibition ‘Golden Summers: Heidelberg
and beyond’ of 1985, seeks to redefine and introduce this important movement in
Australian art history to a new generation.
Over 240 works are included from famous iconic images to the
lesser-known.

Art
and the Periodical
An Exhibition of Modern Magazines
8th to 13th June 2007
The Barber Institute of Fine Arts, University of Birmingham
Hours: Monday-Saturday: 10.00 a.m. – 5.00 p.m.
Sunday: 12 Noon - 5.00 p.m.
Art and the Periodical investigates the multiple ways in which periodicals represent, inform, and speak for the art world. The exhibition will focus primarily on how periodicals and the representation of art objects, the relationship between text and image within the periodical format, the representation of art across a range of periodical genres, and the periodical as art object.
The exhibition draws upon the world class collections of the University Birmingham and the Barber Institute of Fine Arts libraries. Periodicals selected for the exhibition will include Arts and Letters, Die Kunst unserer Zeit, Connoisseur, Woman's World, Bauhaus, Art Union, Picture Post, Blast, The Yellow Book , and The Studio.
The exhibition will also showcase the University's superb holdings of The London Illustrated News so as to centre discussion upon such critical issues as: art and the construction of metropolitan identity, art and the construction of imperial identity, art and the archaeology of taste and art, the periodical, and intended audience.
Though originally conceived within the fields of History of Art and English Literature, Art and the Periodical looks to appeal to a wide, interdisciplinary audience.
Art and the Periodical is supported, in part, by the Heritage, Cultural Production and Interpretation collaborative research network and the Roberts Training Programme, University of Birmingham.
