Reflections
In the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, Tokyo served as a host city for a vital community of Australian artists, many of whom worked in the Australia Council’s Artist-in-Residence Studio, which opened in 1987. Upon that studio’s closure in 2016, Sachiko Tamai and Emiko Namikawa, who had served as managers and consultants at the time, realized it held an important history that should be preserved. Reflections: Australian Artists Living in Tokyo presents a series of essays by artists, curators, and organisers involved in international art exchanges between Australia and Japan. It documents the history of more than three decades and includes contributions by contemporary Australian artists who lived in Japan between the 1980s and the opening of the twenty-first century, such as Stelarc, Caroline Turner, Emiko Namikawa, Noelene Lucas, Anna Waldmann, and many others. This timely and culturally relevant collection documents those artistic exchanges between Australia and Japan through the voices of those involved, including artists and curators.
Japan and Japonisme
Japan and Japonisme: The Self and the Other in Representations of Japanese Culture explores Japan’s engagement with and responses to Japonisme, and presents new perspectives on the history and enduring influence of Japonisme as a cultural discourse. The term "Japonisme" has come to encapsulate the West’s interests in Japanese arts and culture in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Japonisme contributed to Japan’s global reputation as an artistic nation, but it also produced persistent stereotypes about the Japanese, such as the image of "geisha." This pioneering anthology also demonstrates how Japan has espoused the modern Western fascination with its arts and culture to create and promote its national cultural identity. Japan and Japonisme introduces innovative studies on Japonisme by leading experts in the field, and covers the visual arts, art criticism and exhibitions, fashion, literature, horticulture, and popular culture in France, Italy, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Cohesion
Cohesion is a concept that most artists are aware of on quite an intuitive level. In basic terms, it can be described as a sense of unity or harmony that is either sought or rejected during the process of creating artwork in any media. It applies both to individual works and how groups of artworks interact together to make up a unified whole. If cohesion is not the objective, an artist might actively strive to create tension through disunity, leading viewers to experience a level of discomfort or agitation. That said, a degree of tension is also desirable in works that are ultimately cohesive. Here, the constructed balance of individual elements is key, creating interactions between form, space, colour, line, shape, value and texture. The interplay of these elements often draws on principles of repetition, proportion, emphasis, and rhythm to both disrupt and unify within individual works or bodies of work.
