There's something special about this little town
Ten years ago, I predicted that Kawakawa's Hundertwasser toilet block would provide the impetus for its economic recovery (Kaino 2002). In 2012, this prediction has been vindicated. This paper explores how the Hundertwasser toilet block, Hundertwasser's environmental and arts philosophies, and strong memories of his presence in Kawakawa have provided the wellspring for other cultural developments in the town, including a wealth of public art and …
Broome culture’ and its historical links to the Japanese in the pearling industry
The Broome Shire Council's decision in 2009 to suspend the sister-town relationship because of controversy over Taiji's practice of culling dolphins galvanized Broome's Asian and Asian-Aboriginal community (hereafter referred to as poly-ethnic community) to oppose this move. This, and other examples explored in this paper, attests to the strong connection between these two groups that has shaped a distinctive ‘Broome culture’. This paper explores…
Re-mooring the tradition of Broome’s Shinju Matsuri
The paper explores ways in which Broome’s annual festival, Shinju Matsuri has been ‘re-moored’ since it began in 1970. The commercial imperative that has driven this festival since seems set to continue. However, Shinju Matsuri has also nurtured the cultural identity and cultural development of ‘Broome people’, who briefly ‘re-moored’ it in the 1990s and successfully reclaimed its traditional roots.This paper is partly based on longstanding ties …
What Difference Does a Museum Make? TE Papa's Contribution to the New Zealand Economy
Te Papa museum opened in Wellington, New Zealand in 1998. This paper examines its impact on economic growth in Wellington and New Zealand. It argues that Te Papa's outstanding achievements in visitation numbers and reception have been pivotal to the transformation of Wellington into an attractive tourist, leisure and working destination. Te Papa's exogenous wealth has been considerably boosted by a high overseas visitation rate. In addition, its …
Beauty makes Money’
Toilets have traditionally been regarded as contemplative spaces. Perhaps that is what Hundertwasser had in mind when he designed the splendid, now famous, toilet block in Kawakawa, a small rural town in Far North New Zealand which is struggling to readjust to economic decline. Or perhaps, despite Hundertwasser’s professed scepticism about Marxism (Restany 1998:47 & 84) there is a Marxist dialectic underlining the project; that is, when the objec…
The 'Problem of Culture
This paper presents a case study of three glass art studios situated in the southwest of Western Australia. The study is designed to provide a model for a larger study of the arts industries that will contribute to a strategic analysis of cultural policies for arts industry development. Its purpose is to offer insights into why arts policy frameworks and arts development strategies in the southwest of Western Australia appear to have had limited …
