RESEARCH SUMMARY SNAPSHOT

During the quarter QVMAG welcomed a range of visiting researchers through the collections.

The Natural Sciences collection was of particular interest, welcoming researchers from Brazil and the University of New England, NSW.

Dr Pedro Castanheira and Dr Renner from the University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, undertook a taxonomic revision of the orb weaving spiders based on mitochondrial DNA. This visit was a valuable collaboration to learn more about the institutions collection of orb weaving spiders.

During this period, the Natural Sciences team also welcomed Palaeontologists from the University of New England, NSW, who examined QVMAG’s Palaeontological collections.

Research inquiries remained high during the reporting period, with one particular collection inquiry coming from a PhD student studying at the Simon Fraser University, British Columbia, Canada. This collection inquiry was sent after the student found a small bone in their collection belonging to a specimen that, according to their records, had been transferred to QVMAG in 1988.

The metatarsal bone was part of a racoon skeleton acquired along with other North American mammals as part of an exchange at the time. After confirming that QVMAG did have this racoon skeleton in the collection, the bone was repatriated to North America and reunited with the rest of the skeleton.

This quarter, the institution collected the first voucher specimens for the state of the European wool carder bee, Anthidium manicatum

This bee is a native to parts of Europe, Asia and Africa and is an introduced species to North and South America and New Zealand. It was first recorded on mainland Australia in Victoria in 2019.

Three specimens were collected from a garden in central Launceston after sightings had been reported from several locations in Launceston.

It appears that this bee has been well-established in the Launceston area for some time and has most likely gone undetected due to its similarity to a European wasp. This solitary bee is not considered a threat to any native fauna or to commercial beekeeping.

AUDIT SUMMARY SNAPSHOT

During this quarter, work continued on the audit of works on paper, the photogaphic collection, and the general history collection.

QVMAG commenced the audit of the numismatics (coin) collection, which included relocating and rehousing the collection.

With the return of the second Audit Registrar, there has been a renewed focus on refining

procedures and processes such as the database cataloguing standards.

Recruitment for four new Audit Assistants were undertaken in March, with all positions now filled and scheduled to commence in April.

The first stage of location mapping the Textiles Store was undertaken.

Recently QVMAG digitised an old collection inventory kept among our hard copy collection records. Such records are quite important to the auditing process, as they provide key information required for cataloguing an object, such as provenance. Unfortunately, most of the records are only available in hard copy, which limits the accessibility to such information. The inventory digitised is a tatty bound book with each entry written in black nib pen. It lists the artworks held in the gallery at the time (c1910), including the names of donors and lenders. This document will prove invaluable when auditing the racks in the Art Store.

PUBLIC PROGRAMS AND EDUCATION SUMMARY SNAPSHOT

The month of January welcomed the most public programs for the quarter, with 13 family-fun Make it Place and Summer Program drop-in sessions in the Objects Gallery. 355 visitors participated in various arts, crafts and engineering activities, with participants spending on average between 30-60 minutes in the space. Visitor feedback was very positive, and some interstate visitors were delighted that these activitites were free to join.

The January School Holiday Program was also again popular, with 3 programs selling out. Children were able to participate in activities with themes including insects, space, and photography. The Summer program at Inveresk also included drawing workshops with Ben Winwood and rhythm workshops with Bruce Innocent, enjoyed by 79 people over a total of nine sessions.

In January, 257 student visits were all to the Museum, however in February and March visitation at the Art Gallery increased as groups came to self-guide through the ArtRage exhibition. January also included school groups visiting from Deloraine and Penguin.

Other events in January included the final guided tour of the Archie 100 exhibition and Community Connections events in collaboration with the Launceston Chinese Association, for the celebration of Lunar New Year 2023. On the front lawn of the Art Gallery at Royal Park, the eye dotting ceremony was presented by the Chinese Buddhist Academy led by Master Wang Xin De. Performances and other activities such as guided tours to the Guan Di temple and Chinese calligraphy welcomed over 226 people through the door; and many more joining the outdoor event.

In February, Carol Russel introduced her carving practice at the Jimmy Possum exhibition for 78 enthusiastic participants. Under the Make and Create umbrella, QVMAG ran a masterclass on creating objects with Kelp for 7 people. For the In Conversation series, Murray Fredericks enchanted 26 participants with his photographic adventures in the Witness exhibition. In March, we celebrated International Women’s Day with 3 events: a carving workshop with Carol Russel, a yarning and making workshop with Vicki West and a Community Conversation with artist Leoni Duff.

The Launceston Planetarium was also extremely popular with 2,134 visitors at public shows and 67 school students. The Planetarium was closed for a total of 23 days in February for annual maintenance.

OUR COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS

LUNAR NEW YEAR CELEBRATIONS

To celebrate the Lunar New Year, the institution partnered wit the Launceston Chinese Association and the Chinese Buddhist Academy to host a free, community-based Lunar New Year celebration at the Art Gallery at Royal Park.

INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY

During March a series of community programs were held at the Art Gallery in celebration of International Women’s Day. This program welcomed local women in the arts to the institution to host floor talks and workshops for community.

MARKETING & COMMUNICATIONS SUMMARY SNAPSHOT

Archie 100: A Century of the Archibald Prize closed its doors on January 8 after welcoming over 16,200 visitors. The marketing campaign to accompany this touring exhibition was highly successful in terms of market conversion, resulting in one visitor per $1.23 spent.

The Art Gallery at Royal Park celebrated Lunar New Year with our community through collaboration with the Launceston Chinese Association in February. The event included Lion Dancing, sword displays, tours of the Guan Di Temple and more. A collaboration also took place with SBS Australia to host Lunar New Year themed films in the Nuala O’Flaherty Auditorium at the Museum at Inveresk. The event welcomed over 220+ visitors to the Art Gallery, and a strong content campaign was leveraged on social media, alongside a media call, to generate community engagement and awareness.

January also welcomed a new-look for QVMAG, rolled out across both physical and digital brand mediums for the institution. This brand roll-out provided a new, modernised look for the institution, enabling it to better position itself in-market as a destination for locals and tourists exploring the State. Additionally, the new brand has since enabled the institution to embark on stronger brand advertising campaigns spanning both digital and legacy advertising opportunities.

In early February the Art Gallery at Royal Park was activated with the public programs 'Woodcarving and conversation' with Tasmanian woodworker, Carol Russel. This event was a great example of how a casual drop-in style event can draw the attention of gallerygoers and registered participants on the day. Through a digital-only campaign for this event, 78 visitors attended on the day to join this free program.

March further supported vibrancy across the institution with a series of media announcements, including the launch of a new Summer/Autumn program for QVMAG, the opening of Nomads of the Sea by Lisa Reihana in collaboration with Ten Days on the Island, coverage of a new student-based photography exhibition entitled The Big Picture, the awarding of the 2022 Arts Foundation medallion to one deserving ArtRage artist and the launch of the first Niche Market at the Museum at Inveresk, in partnership with St.Giles Tasmania.

This quarter saw a range of advertising activations for the institution, including bus advertising, billboard placements both in the CBD and at the Launceston Airport, a window wrap in the CBD for the Launceston Planetarium, radio advertising for the QVMAG Shop and Launceston Planetarium, a series of social media advertising campaigns, state-wide program promotions, cross promotion in the City of Launceston e-news, print media advertising placements, and more.

CURATORIAL AND COLLECTIONS SUMMARY SNAPSHOT

This quarter has been dominated by exhibition work, public programmes and continued work on the collection. The HJ King: Cameras and Carburettors exhibiton has been extremely popular with visitors, and has generated a large number of public enquiries. Staff have also been regularly changing over photographs and specimens in this exhibition to minimise their light exposure and to keep the exhibition fresh.

QVMAG’s new Assistant Curator Public History has already made a significant contribution.

The Signwriters shop has reopened with the new displays focussing on the work of the

signwriters themselves, and includes full-wall displays of signs produced in the space and photographs of the space in use. A case changeover outside the Guan Di Temple now focusses on the Chung Gon family.

Work has continued on developing content for the upcoming Wetland and Botanica exhibitions. Staff have also been preparing for a range of upcoming Public Programs, and working with QVMAG Marketing and Communications to create a range of content for social media.

During this quarter, QVMAG objects and photogaphs were on display at the National Film and Sound Archive as part of their exhibition The Marvellous Corricks, and further historically significant loan objects were on display at the Port Arthur Historic Site and the Cascades Female Factory.

During this quarter, 1331 additional records were bulk uploaded to the museum’s CMS. These were all FIC (Found in Collection) records, and reflect the rehousing and listing of items in the collection that have not yet been assessed for collection and added to the Museum’s official holdings. These FIC records enable us to assess and compare potential accessions, and will enable any items identified as being suitable for the collection to be easily transferred into the collection.

The History section has also increased its volunteer object registration program, with three volunteers now engaged in registration and re-housing of collection items, including the Halls Island Collection, organisation and re-housing of the numismatics collection and registration of a range of smaller collections including the Kaw collection. In addition, work on the Kaw Family collection of archives, in collaboration with the Library and Archives section, has resulted in almost three quarters of this collection being sorted, identified and listed.

Parks and Wildlife-funded cataloguing work has continued, with QVMAG staff working on the Miscellaneous Shipwrecks collection registration.

QVMAG has also continued to work on the listing and identification of all ex-railway workshop site material for redistribution. This work is funded with a grant from the Phillip Archer Trust.

NATURAL SCIENCES

This quarter, a major focus has been following up from Professor Kipling Will’s visit in November 2022. Kip from the University of California, Berkeley, is a world authority on ground beetles, family Carabidae, and reliably named many previously unidentified beetles in the QVMAG collection. Kip’s expertise has enabled new specimens to be registered, contributing to 90% of the 1,288 new invertebrate registrations for this quarter. 185 records already on the database were edited to add identifications.

Kip also provided the current taxonomic order for this family. The collection of these beetles, housed in four entomology cabinets, has since been reordered and relabelled.

Digitising collection items was progressed. The botany database had 474 images added, bringing the total number of specimens photographed to 12,750, approximately 50% of the collection.

A further 380 images of minerals were added to the Geology database, totalling 3,500 specimens photographed so far, which is approximately 30% of that collection.

A further 76 specimens from the Lambkin/Knight butterfly collection were registered. This is a labourintensive task as each pinned specimen needs to be examined to record the collection data from the accompanying label, which for many of the older specimens requires research to confirm current place names. A registration label is added before the specimen is replaced in its unit tray. 829 specimens have been registered so far.

A total of 68 spiders were registered into the collection. This includes specimens collected in the field, specimens brought in by the public and previously unregistered specimens in the collection. Of those registered, 37 have either been undescribed species

or specimens which cannot be identified to species. For example, three specimens of wolf spider collected at Beechford in January this year are currently being looked at by Dr Volker Framenau at Murdoch University, Western Australia, to determine if they are a new species.

It is estimated that around a third of Tasmania’s spider fauna has yet to be named by taxonomists and many more species are undergoing taxonomic and molecular revisions. Through liaising with experts, QVMAG is developing an important and well named Tasmanian spider collection.

QVMAG Natural Sciences Team received an invitation from City of Launceston Parks and Sustainability to attend workshops to develop an Implementation Plan for the upcoming Urban Greening Strategy.

VISUAL ART AND DESIGN

In January, the Visual Art and Design team worked on the development and delivery of a commission by artist Fiona Hall at the Art Gallery. This work was purchased with support from the QVMAG Arts Foundation, creating a magnificent temporary display for visitors.

During this period, the institution opened the exhibition Inner Sanctums, marking the first solo exhibition of the work by north west coast artist and photographer, Lisa Garland.

February also welcomed the St.Giles community exhibition, FaceTime. This exhibition showcased a collection of photography, sharing the faces and stories of St.Giles community members from the past 85 years.

March saw the launch of Te Wai Ngunguru: Nomads of the Sea by New Zealand artist Lisa Reihana. The opening of this digital work further supports the institutions’ commitment to featuring, and commissioning, digital works for display into the future.

During the quarter, the Visual Art and Design team responded to the blockbuster exhibition Archie 100: A Century of the Archibald Prize on display at the Museum at Inveresk, through a gallery activation at the Art Gallery, featuring portrait works from within the collection.

Finally, this quarter welcomed a group tour with guests from ASA: Australians Studying Abroad. This tour was a wonderful opportunity for the institution to engage with students about the Visual Art and Design collection, alongside providing a guided tour of the Art Gallery.

LIBRARY AND ARCHIVES

Work in Archives centered on the ongoing registration, reorganisation, evaluation, tidying and shuffling of the QVMAG archival series. Completion of this work on 17 February—with the exception of shelf-checking by volunteers —signalled the end of major

retrospective work on all of the QVMAG paper collection.

In March, work commenced on the tidying, organisation and registration of the Oral History Collection. Seven manuscripts (Archives) and 30 books (Library) were registered.

Registration and audit work also continued on the Photograph Collection, with 1,041 items audited and 405 items registered.

QVMAG received 59 public enquiries and 25 bookings for the History Centre research room.

QVMAG ARTS FOUNDATION SUMMARY SNAPSHOT

QVMAG Arts Foundation members and guests enjoyed the 2023 lecture of the inaugural Nuala O'Flaherty Memorial Lecture series. 40 Years that Changed Australian Culture Through the National Collection was presented by Dr Nick Mitzevich, Director of the National Gallery of Australia on 17 February 2023. A video recording can be viewed on the Foundation website.

The Arts Foundation will be presenting lectures each year by outstanding speakers. These lectures commemorate the memory of Nuala, who was a volunteer guide at QVMAG and also celebrate the magnificent resources of the QVMAG.

In March 2023, the Arts Foundation provided a Medallion Award for the winner of QVMAG's statewide exhibition ArtRage which was kindly presented by the City of Launceston Mayor, Danny Gibson. The Foundation also hosted a talk by John McPhee, a former curator of the Arts at QVMAG in the 1970s.

This year, the Arts Foundation has so far funded $4,000 for the acquisition of prints from Tasmanian artist Milan Milojevic, who directly references works by WB Gould.

QVMAG FRIENDS SUMMARY SNAPSHOT

SUPPORT FOR THE QUEEN VICTORIA ART GALLERY GUIDES

The QVMAG Friends have supported the Art Gallery Guides since 1997, providing bursaries to cover the registration costs of delegates to the Australian Art Gallery Guides Organisation Conferences.

This year, the registration costs of $1,350 for three delegates will be covered by the Friends, offering the opportunity for two Guides and one QVMAG staff member to attend this national conference in August.

We are grateful to QVMAG for its contribution of the travel and accommodation costs required for one of the guides and the staff member to attend this conference.

SUPPORT FOR RESEARCH INTO THE GILL MATCHBOX COLLECTION

The QVMAG Friends have agreed to provide $4,000 to support QVMAG to assess the recent bequest of the matchbox collection of Jenny Gill, a wellknown local historian and member of the Friends.

The collection is large, estimated to be several thousand items, including matchbox labels, matchboxes, matchbooks, or matchbook covers. Part of the collection was displayed in the 2014 Community Collectors exhibition Strike A Light!, which proved to be extremely popular.

The QVMAG Friends will donate $4,000 to the Public History Section of QVMAG to employ a qualified contractor to sort the collection, list all the items and assess their significance to provide a list of relevant acquisitions for the QVMAG collection.

GROWTH IN NEW MEMBERSHIPS

In response to the new programming at QVMAG, and initiated by the presentation of the Archie 100: A Century of the Archibald Prize, the growth of new memberships of the Friends has been significant and consistent.

To date this year, 59 new memberships have been added, compared to 42 in the entire 2021/22 financial year.
