Angie’s illustrations will appear during Melbourne’s Fashion Festival at Guildford Lane Gallery against a backdrop of fashion events such as forums and launches, and alongside the work of industry contemporaries.

Official launch of 9 Lives at Cunningham Dax

The Cunningham Dax Collection consists of over 12,000 creative works on paper, paintings, ceramics and textiles, created by people who have experienced mental illness or psychological trauma. The Collection is dedicated to the conservation and ethical exhibition of these works, and the use of art in public mental health education.

Much more than an art gallery, the centre provides a multidimensional experience in the growing field of art in mental health. Increasingly diverse audiences reflect the broader community’s interest in creativity and the mind.

9 Lives is an exhibition of selected works from the Cunningham Dax Collection exploring the experiences of nine individuals through their creative works. From works made in hospitals in the early 1960s through to works created more recently in private studios and community settings, by both untrained and professional artists, 9 Lives brings together a rich variety of lived experience and creative expression.

6pm, Thursday 30 April 2009

To be opened by Mr John Lesser, President, The Mental Health Review Board

Naked Landscapes of Victoria on TV

Early in 2008, Arlene Texta Queen travelled in a custom painted 1977 Bedford van around regional Victoria drawing around a dozen women and performers posed in interpretations of Australian history and culture. From a cake lady and her stall by a lake to Mary at the 12 Apostles to a feminist bushranger in Glenrowan, Claudia Rowe documented the adventures and has turned them into a doco that will be screened Sunday April 12th at 5pm on ABC Sunday Arts.

Watch Texta and her gal friends as they go leech loving, cake eating & bunyip cursed travels.

For those without a TV, you can watch it on the Sunday Arts website  soon after it airs on the tele.

Beyond the Three Trees – Psychological Characteristics Through Drawing

Presented by Dr Phillip Greenway, Senior Lecturer (Psychology) Monash University

Date:    Thursday 19 February at 6pm
Where: Cunningham Dax Collection
Cost:    Free

Why psychologists asked people to draw houses trees and people:  psychodynamic insights into the unconscious.

This talk will examine the insights psychologists tried to draw from art works by psychiatric patients and the theoretical grounds on which they based their interpretations. These insights are then used to gain   insights into the drawings in the exhibition. Not all of the early work was in vain, some still survives and contemporary psychologists are beginning to look again at the possibility of learning about personality from projective tests, using drawings, pictures and everyday objects.

Dr. Philip Greenway graduated with a degree in psychology from Edinburgh University, Scotland where he was taught by Boris Semeonoff, an expert in projective tests, such as the Rorschach Inkblot Test and other tests requiring participants to draw or response to ambiguous figure. He then studied for a doctorate at the University of Louvain in Belgium. He taught at Aberdeen University, and came to Monash University in 1977, where he now teaches psychological assessment and counselling strategies.
