HIU FAI CHOI (Justin), s321 9893 The PM’s Reading Room By Mark Raggett & Time Prye Furniture selection: Material: lightweight carbon By, Gio Ponti Time period covered: 1891 – 1979 Topic covered: Australian Political Ideology & Regionalism This selected pieces of furniture designed by Gio Ponti aims to valuate on the characteristic of regionalism during the development of modernity, through analysing the impact on the transition between classical artefact and modern mechanisms, to reference as a inter-‐relationship on the regionalism of the Australian political ideology during 20th century. Firstly, in terms of the regionalism, it is an approach that strives to valuate the common sense of identity under any social negotiation by finalizing a particular public manna to identify the local characteristic within a specific region. In general, materiality and style are mostly related as an implement of identity within a public manna. For instance, in this selected pieces of furniture, Gio Ponti specifically point out the regional identity in Milan through clarifying the artistic manna on materiality picking, as well as responding the conservation of the local identity during the rapid changing of the mechanical urbanization in globalize development at the beginning of 20th century. While parallel the similar time period back to Australia, where once was a colonial country, the public manna on regionalism can be seen as integration with a political ideology against with the multi background’s characteristics. As the result, the tension on characterizing the local identity becomes political alternative rather than purely one-‐side public(s) manna, which I think it makes the definition on regionalism in Australia, is strongly laying a political characteristic.
Australian Folk Music, Reedy River, written by Dick Diamond, 1953 (Forgotten people) About the Queensland Shearers' Strike of 1891i
Ten miles down Reedy River one Sunday afternoon,
I rode with Mary Campbell to that broad, bright lagoon;
We left our horses grazing till shadows climbed the peak,
And strolled beneath the she-oaks on the banks of Rocky Creek.
Then home along the river that night we rode a race,
And the moonlight lent a glory to Mary Campbell's face;
I pleaded for my future all through that moonlight ride,
Until our weary horses drew closer side by side.
Ten miles from Ryan's Crossing and five below the peak,
I built a little homestead on the banks of Rocky Creek;
I cleared the land and fenced it and plowed the rich red loam;
My first crop was golden when I brought Mary home.
Now still down Reedy River the grassy she-oaks sigh,
The water holes still mirror the pictures in the sky The golden sand is
drifting across the rocky bars,
And over all for ever go sun and moon and stars.
But of the hut I built there are no traces now,
And many rains have leveled the furrows of my plow.
The glad bright days have vanished, for sombre branches wave Their
wattle-blossom golden above my Mary's grave.
