Book excerpt: During the mid Twentieth Century, teenagers living in a small town near Pittsburgh had to invent their own lives, there was so little else to do. Caught between the innocence of youth and the desire to be grown up they live life founded on TV, movies, comic books, fast cars, car-radio rock and roll and backseat dating. There is hardly any reference to real life until the unsolved mystery of a dead body in a burned barn and raging floodwaters that changed life forever. Back in those days the radio was always on and we were all trying to grow up. When I hear one of the old tunes it triggers my thoughts about the mystery of a dead body in the burning barn. And when that happens it's as fresh in my mind as last night's TV dinner.

Book Synopsis Fiona Foley Provocateur by : Louise Martin-Chew
Download or read book Fiona Foley Provocateur written by Louise Martin-Chew and published by Arthouse. This book was released on 2022-02-02 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr Fiona Foley is an Aboriginal artist, Badtjala woman, and provocateur, part of a highly influential generation of urban Indigenous artists. Over a career now spanning thirty years she has consistently asked questions about the frontier wars waged against Aboriginal peoples and brought the "hidden histories" of the massacres and dispossession into galleries, public spaces, and a broader, society-wide debate. In recent years, her exposure of the familial threads that join her Aboriginal heritage to the family of white missionaries who came to K'gari/Fraser Island in 1897 emerges as a tour de force. Missionary Ernest Gribble was the brother of Fiona Foley's great great grandmother, Ethel Gribble, who married Fred Wondunna.Foley has had exhibitions all over the world. Retrospective exhibitions include "Fiona Foley: Veiled Paradise" at QUT Art Museum in 2021, "Who are these strangers and where are they going?" in Ballarat and Sydney in 2019-20, and "Fiona Foley: Forbidden" at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney and University of Queensland Art Museum, Brisbane in 2009. Her work is in every major institutional collection in Australia, many private collections, and in public spaces, including the State Library of Queensland. At the heart of this book is friendship. It details Foley's meeting with art writer Louise Martin-Chew, the progression of their collegiate relationship, and traces the momentum of crucial years in Foley's art life until her most recent segue into academia. This book was shaped as a biography given the relevance of her life to the work that she makes, and the emotional and historical investment in the disruption and disenfranchisement of her Badtjala (and all Aboriginal) people as subject matter for her art.

Download or read book All Fall Down written by Matthew Condon and published by Univ. of Queensland Press. This book was released on 2015-10-01 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Continuing on from the bestselling true crime stories Three Crooked Kings and Jacks and Jokers, All Fall Down follows Terry Lewis as he becomes police commissioner and the era of corruption at the highest levels of the police and government goes on. As the Queensland police become more connected with their corrupt colleagues in Sydney, the era of heavy drugs and crime also begins. Tony Murphy and Glen Hallahan, two of the original "crooked kings," become more enmeshed with "The Joke" which is run by bagman Jack Herbert. All Fall Down introduces new characters, more extraordinary behavior outside the law by the law, and along the way it charts the meteoric rise of police commissioner Terry Lewis. But with the arrival of the Fitzgerald Inquiry in the late 1980s, many will fall—and it's not always the people who should. Once again award-winning journalist and novelist Matthew Condon has drawn from unprecedented access to Terry Lewis, as well as hundreds of interviews with key players and conspirators to craft the definitive account of the rise—and spectacular fall—of one man, an entire state, and over a generation of corruption.
