SUMMARY:KALEIDOSCOPE
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition is biography imagined through the lens of a Kaleidoscope. The viewer is offered fragments of the lives represented here. There is no linear narrative. Each time the kaleidoscope turns\, a different story emerges. There are repeating patterns but different emphases and new ways of seeing\, new reflections\, new refractions. No one story dominates and one story does not fit all. \nin 2021\, during Women’s History Month we launched the RHSV Women’s Biographical Dictionary\, an online resource which builds profiles of women who have been involved in the RHSV over its 113 year history. This project is the work of Dr Cheryl Griffin and from this online resource\, Cheryl has curated Kaleidoscope\, launched in March 2022 by Judi Maddigan\, which looks at the lives of 50 of those important women. \nCURATOR: DR CHERYL GRIFFIN\nEXHIBITION DESIGNER: KATRIN STROHL\nEXHIBITION PRODUCTION: DR DAVID THOMPSON & HELEN STITT\nThe exhibition is opened Monday – Friday (excluding public holidays) from 9am-5pm and entry is free-of-charge.

SUMMARY:The Rise and Fall of the Iron Bridge
DESCRIPTION:In June we are thrilled that Miles Lewis will be returning to the RHSV\, in partnership with Engineering Heritage Victoria to talk about Iron Bridges. \nThe earliest cast iron bridges imitated those in timber or stone\, because there was no established idea of what an iron bridge should be like\, and most of them were simple arches. But over the next century wrought iron\, and then steel\, became important bridge-building materials.  The arch bridge was joined by the suspension bridge\, the box girder\, the parallel-chorded girder\, and even more elaborate forms.  And bridges fabricated in Europe were sent across the world to places like Latin America\, Japan\, and India.  Exported bridges faced special problems – the cost and difficulty of transporting the components\, the lack of skilled labour at the site\, and unexpected foundation problems and hydrological conditions. These prefabricated bridges will be the main focus of the presentation. \nMiles Lewis\, AM FAHA\, is an architectural historian specialising in the interaction between technology and culture in areas such as vernacular architecture and prefabrication\, and in technical innovation generally.  He edited the international text Architectura\, and has this year published a book\, Architectural Drawings: Collecting in Australia.  He is an emeritus professor of the University of Melbourne\, and currently a member of the Portable Buildings World Heritage Nomination Task Force.

SUMMARY:The Edwardian Garden - golden and delicious: Special online lecture by Caroline Holmes.
DESCRIPTION:The Edwardian Garden – golden and delicious:  Special online lecture by renowned UK Garden Historian\, Caroline Holmes. \nGardens of a golden afternoon are glimpsed in black and white photographs and nostalgic cottage paintings. The Mediterranean inspired the architecture of Harold Peto’s designs and the colours in Gertrude Jekyll’s early paintings and later plantings. Peto’s richest client was Daisy\, Countess of Warwick\, for whom he designed in the grand Italianate manner at Warwick House. Jekyll and Edwin Lutyens collaborated in 70 projects creating the Surrey Style as showcased in the architecture and gardens of her former home\, Munstead Wood. Not just Surrey\, their influences inspired the country house and garden style across the world whilst echoing the need to understand local practicalities. The kitchen garden inspired visual and edible feasts in the ground and on the plates of contemporary gardening books. Jekyll wrote many gardening books which were published across the world in English speaking countries\, her attention to drifting colours in flower borders came to represent the quintessential ‘Edwardian’ garden. Her travels in North Africa inspired her designs for rock gardens as can be glimpsed in photographs of Frederick McCubbin’s Fontainebleau garden on Mount Macedon. We will also look at paintings by Rupert Bunny\, E. Phillips Fox and John Peter Russell that evoke the colour and sensation of their pre-World War One world. \nDATE:              Thursday 30 June 2022 \nTIME:               6.00 start – log in from 5.45 \nLOCATION      A Zoom link will be provided with reminder email before each session. \nCOST:              $12 members\, $15 non-members \nBOOKINGS:     https://www.trybooking.com/BZGVX \nENQUIRIES:     WENDY DWYER Mobile: 0408 340 967 \nCaroline Holmes is a highly respected Garden Historian\, author of 12 books including ‘Water Lilies and Bory Latour-Marliac\, the genius behind Monet’s water lilies’ launched in Giverny in 2016. She was keynote speaker at the International Water Gardens Conference held at Giverny in 2019. Course Director for University of Cambridge ICE\, accredited lecturer for The Arts Society and has spoken on every continent except Antarctica. Her design consultancies range from Human Renaissance gardens surrounding Notre Dame-de-Calais to devising the planting for The Poison Garden within The Alnwick Garden in Northumberland.
