Rethinking industrial relations
This article explores how, in reshaping creative labour in Australia's cultural and creative industries, artificial intelligence is exposing the limitations of the current industrial relations framework. Using a policy ecology lens and drawing on submissions from creative industries stakeholder groups to two parliamentary inquiries, the article maps the fragmented governance of creative labour across industrial relations, copyright law, cultural …
The Impact of Gender on Incomes in the Visual Arts in Australia
The impact of Covid‐19 on the well‐being of Australian visual artists and arts workers
In this paper, we assess the impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic on the Australian visual arts sector. We base our analysis on the responses of over 1500 visual artists and arts workers to a survey conducted by the National Association for the Visual Arts ( NAVA ), the national peak body for the visual and media arts, craft and design sector in September 2021. NAVA employed this online survey to study the relationship between the pandemic and both th…
An ethical engagement
This paper reports on the experiences of creative practice graduate researchers and academic staff as they seek to comply with the requirements of the Australian National Statement on the Ethical Conduct of Research Involving Humans. The research was conducted over a two-year period (2015 to 2017) as part of a wider project ‘iDARE – Developing New Approaches to Ethics and Research Integrity Training through Challenges Presented by Creative Practi…
Policy Ecologies, Gender, Work, and Regulation Distance in Film and TV Production
Mainstream work and employment regulation, primarily based on a standard employment model, is largely ineffective in addressing gender inequality in industries organized around precarious, insecure work. This chapter uses the Canadian screen-based independent production sector as a case study to examine regulation of work and employment that is prototypically precarious, and an exemplar of gender inequality. The industry has high labor regulation…
Collaborative Leadership in the Arts as a Unique Form of Dual Leadership
This article examines dual leadership in Australian performing arts companies, reflected in the respective roles of artistic directors and general managers. Our findings challenge assumptions underpinning much of the literature on dual leadership; in particular, the assumption that conflict is inevitable between the two leaders. In our research, we identified dual leadership relationships that might more accurately be described as instances of co…
Identity and the Political
Collaborations between indigenous and non‐indigenous artists are most often regarded as politically symbolic moments of reconciliation. This article examines a very particular type of collaboration between Dolly Nampijinpa Daniels, a Warlpiri woman from central Australia, and Anne Mosey, a non‐indigenous artist who had come to live in the same community. A close examination of the nature of their interaction, both in the everyday and in the makin…
When Subject Becomes Object
In May 2008, a photograph of a naked twelve-year-old girl by the Australian artist Bill Henson came to the attention of the Australian public when it was featured on an invitation to the opening of an exhibition at a commercial art gallery in Sydney. Within hours, a debate had commenced about the appropriateness of the image and the intentions of the artist. It rapidly descended into the familiar argument of art versus pornography, with protagoni…
Pina Bausch, creative industries and the materiality of artistic labour
The creative industries policy framework has focused attention on artistic activity as a means by which intellectual property is produced: ideas are reduced to material forms, the economic value of which derives from dealing in the rights to reproduction or performance of the work. In this paper, I argue that the emphasis on ‘intellectual’ property within the creative industries ignores the embodied nature of much artistic practice. Using the exa…
