Margaret Dodd
Margaret Dodd (born 1 February 1941) is an Australian artist who works in ceramics and film/video. Her most well-known work is a series titled ''I am not a Car'' that included ceramic models of Australian cars as well as an animated film, first shown at the Art Gallery of South Australia in 1977, and again in 2020. Early life, education and marriage Dodd was born on 1 February 1941 in Berri, South Australia. At the age of 15 she received as an art prize a book about design and decorating for the home. She was devastated because she thought there should be more to a woman's life than the assigned role in the home. Dodd attended Adelaide Teachers College and later the South Australian School of Art. By 1964 she was married with children, living in the United States where her husband worked at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. At this time she read ''The Feminine Mystique'' by Betty Friedan, and felt liberated by new concepts of women's roles. When her husband transfe ...

Ceramic
A ceramic is any of the various hard, brittle, heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials made by shaping and then firing an inorganic, nonmetallic material, such as clay, at a high temperature. Common examples are earthenware, porcelain, and brick. The earliest ceramics made by humans were pottery objects (''pots,'' ''vessels or vases'') or figurines made from clay, either by itself or mixed with other materials like silica, hardened and sintered in fire. Later, ceramics were glazed and fired to create smooth, colored surfaces, decreasing porosity through the use of glassy, amorphous ceramic coatings on top of the crystalline ceramic substrates. Ceramics now include domestic, industrial and building products, as well as a wide range of materials developed for use in advanced ceramic engineering, such as in semiconductors. The word "'' ceramic''" comes from the Greek word (), "of pottery" or "for pottery", from (), "potter's clay, tile, pottery". The earliest kno ...

Holden 48-215
The Holden 48-215 is a mid-size sedan which was produced by the Australian automaker Holden between November 1948 and October 1953. A coupe utility derivative, coded as the 50-2106 and marketed as the Holden Coupe Utility, was produced from January 1951. The 48-215 was the first model from General Motors in Australia to bear the Holden name. In mainstream parlance, the official name of "Holden 48-215" was eschewed in favour of the shortened "Holden" designation. Following the replacement of the first Holden, the 48-215 gained the unofficial nickname of Holden FX. This designation was first used in the Drawing Office at GM-H in 1952 as an unofficial means of distinguishing between early 48-215 vehicles with front suspension using lever-action shock absorbers, and those with the new telescopic shock absorber front suspension introduced in 1953 - the term "FX" was pencilled onto a parts list for the new suspension components. The title "FX" later came into use in used car advertise ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Women's Art Movement
The Women's Art Movement (WAM) was an Australian feminist art movement, founded in Sydney in 1974, Melbourne in 1974, and Adelaide in 1976 (as the Women's Art Group, or WAG). Background Such movements had already been created in other countries, in which women artists looked at their position as women in society and their position as artists through a feminist framework. The visit by US feminist art critic Lucy Lippard in 1975 provided the immediate impetus for the creation of the new movement in Australia. She spoke to women-only groups in Melbourne and Adelaide about the creation of archives of women artists' work on photographic slides, known as slide registers, by a network of American women artists who called themselves the West-East Bag (WEB); the idea was to counteract their lack of showing in art galleries. Run as collectives, the groups facilitated consciousness-raising studio and exhibition workshops, aiming to analyse the political implications of personal exper ...
