Book excerpt: It is an illustration of the Garden Palace building in Sydney, designed by James Barnet. James Barnet's Garden Palace, constructed for the 1879 Sydney International Exhibition in the grounds of the Botanic Gardens, was erected in eight months using electric lights imported from England so that work could be carried out at night. It would be another 25 years before the then Lady Mayoress, Mrs Samuel E Lees turned on the switch to illuminate the streets of Sydney using power from Pyrmont Power Station. Sadly the Garden Palace was destroyed by fire on 22 September 1882 and the Sèvres vase, which had been transferred to Sydney Town Hall at the conclusion of the exhibition, is one of the few remaining exhibits to have survived.

Book excerpt: In 1879 the Garden Palace brought the International Exhibition to a little known city called Sydney in a very big country called Australia. This colonial masterpiece of achitecture was destined to live hard but die young and was burnt to the ground after a massive blaze only three years later in 1882. To commemorate the buildings 100th Anniversary, it was re-built in 1979 to house the Palace Theatre, the largest in Sydney, capable of housing 3,000 patrons for classical and musical performances. Whilst the new Garden Palace lasted decades longer than its predecessor, there was always danger lurking beneath its foundations. The legend of the Garden Palace Devil had been synonymous with the building ever since the early days of construction when mysterious happenings took place. No one had ever seen this mythical creature, however whenever anything went missing or a piece of scenery toppled over, it was always blamed on the Garden Palace Devil. But this legend was born from very real and tragic events that occured long before the walls began to rise on this new building. There was indeed something lurking in the building that had been there long before any one else could recall - that is except Terrence Knight. His recent return to the Garden Palace caused a very strong eruption within the walls of the building and the strange events began to escalate. At the same time, a new wave of employees had entered the building to be the new Ambassadors of the Garden Palace to be the face of the building and conduct tours for the many visitors. Whilst discovering the history of the building, a few of them discover the unrest that's brewing under the surface. When they learn about the legend of the Garden Palace Devil, they decide to risk their jobs and their lives to find out who the devil really is.Terrence Knight has an ally to help keep them out of his way so that he can find the 'devil' himself and put an end to the legend once and for all. But who is the real devil? This easy-to-read novel is the first volume in the Garden Palace series based on the now destroyed colonial building. Whilst a new building was never built on the site, this series brings it to life in this modern city. With 15 original drawings by Sydney artist Nana Sakata it is a visual feast of imagery to accompany this suspenseful adventure.

Download or read book Impact of the Modern written by Robert Dixon and published by Sydney University Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australian and international modernity from the late 19th to the mid-20th century inspires research in many fields of cultural endeavour: architecture, fine arts, design, cinema, theatre, and music; in urban studies, literary history and Aboriginal studies. Impact of the Modern brings together examples of this new interdisciplinary work on modern Australian culture by 21 leading scholars. Their writings reveal an original account of 'modernising' Australia as dynamic and creative in many art forms, and interactively linked with international processes and ideas. The essays in Impact of the Modern were presented as papers at the conference, 'Australian Vernacular Modernities', convened by the editors at the University of Queensland in 2006. Plenary papers by Jill Julius Matthews and Angela Woollacott signal the book's focus on the erotic and gendered spaces, and on popular aspects of modernity. They provide the central focus of the material, through such vital and dynamic categories as the 'modern', the 'erotic' and the 'primitive'. As essential components of the historical processes of innovation and modernisation, these central questions of gender and public sociality are taken up in diverse ways in the other chapters, forming a varied and exciting study of a range of creative Australian engagements with modern international life and popular culture.

Download or read book Gardens of History and Imagination written by Gretchen Poiner and published by Sydney University Press. This book was released on 2016-06-03 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether on the ground or in the mind gardens carry meaning. They reflect social and aesthetic values and may express hope, anticipation or grief. Throughout history they have provided a means of physical survival. In creating and maintaining gardens people construe and construct a relationship with their environment. But there is no single meaning carried in the word ‘garden’: as idea and practice it reflects cultural differences in beliefs, values and social organisation. It embodies personal, community even national ways of seeing and being in the world. There are ten essays in Gardens of History and Imagination, each of which examines the role of gardens and gardening in the settlement of New South Wales and in growing a colony and a state. They explore the significance of gardens for the health of the colony, for its economy, for the construction of social order and moral worth. No less do they reveal the significance of forming and reforming personal identities in this process. For the immigrants gardening was an act of settlement; it was also a statement of possession for individuals and for Britain. For a long time it was with memories of ‘home’, often selective and idealised, that settlers made gardens but as the colony developed its own character so did gardening possibilities and practices.
