FORWARD As President of the Art Association of Australia and New Zealand I warmly welcome delegates and visitors to our 2009 Annual Conference, generously hosted by ANU. The Art Association of Australia was founded in 1974 to act as a professional body representing art historians, critics, curators, artists and art students in the region. The publishing activities and conferences were of course never restricted to Australian topics or researchers and a true balance was found between national and international concerns. Our core activities are the publication of an annual scholarly journal, the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Art, the first refereed art-historical journal in Australia, and the management of an annual conference, generally featuring an invited keynote speaker or speakers. This year I warmly welcome Professor Jonathan Mane-Wheoki (The University of Auckland) to open our annual conference. The conference papers that will be presented this year attest to the range and diversity of art historical, critical and curatorial scholarship currently being undertaken in this region; they range from analysis of the recreation of shells in eighteenth-century French art to Aboriginal art centres as frontiers of thought. Several large themes are being run by session leaders, and they include work on the materiality of art; contemporary issues in Aboriginal art; the representation of war; negotiating Paris 1900-1950; bringing interpretive worlds to view; contemporary photography, landscape and history; art and the crises of the contemporary world; portraiture; contemporary space in crises; the body, dress and location; legacies of Surrealism; modernism in crisis ‘down South’; keyword curating; building collections; and art in Asia/Australia. With such a range of papers and up to eight parallel sessions, perhaps the only regret from members will be that they cannot attend more of their peer’s papers. A range of Book and Journal Prizes are coordinated annually by the AAANZ and the results are keenly awaited by delegates and the publishing sector. The results of the Prize will be made during the conference. I encourage you also to attend the Annual General Meeting of the AAANZ and the Plenary Session on the topic of the Australian Institute of Art History which will be conducted by Professor Jaynie Anderson. Enjoy the parties and the atmosphere that Canberra in late spring provides. I am very grateful to the organisers of the conference for all their efforts to ensure that the success of the 2009 conference. Peter McNeil President of AAANZ Professor of Design History, UTS; Professor of Fashion Studies, Stockholm University
