- 'Turbulence, Conflict and the Garden of Remediation' is the culmination of a three-year Australian Research Council Discovery Project Grant, 2017-2019, ‘World Pictures: pathfinding across a century of wars, 1917-2017’ ($296,000) which brought together four artists with experience as war artists and working with the military. Aiming to redefine war art in artistic and scholarly research, its premise was that public understandings of war are significantly shaped by war art and images of war and aimed to investigate the artistic potential of scholars’ methodologies –timelines and the atlas form – to revise the Australian understanding of the century-long and global aftermath of war from WW1 into the present.
Through presentations, papers and exhibitions of new art the project investigated how international 21st century artists explored recent wars to produce a systematic, art historical account of international 21st century war art. Gough worked collaboratively with Jon Cattapan, Charles Green and Lyndall Brown on publications, fieldwork overseas and through peer-reviewed articles including ‘Revisioning Australia’s war art: four painters as citizens of the ‘global South’, Humanities: Special Issue ‘Pictures and Conflicts since 1945’, 2018.
Through the research grant Gough undertook site work on the former Gallipoli battlefield in Turkey, across the Somme and Flanders battle grounds, and the sites of British Army occupation during the Cold War in the former Western Germany. A suite of photographs taken on this visit to the Rhine was exhibited at the former Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (ACCA) in Melbourne, 2019. Related publications include a global review of visual arts events: ‘Centenary: Aftermath in the Visual Arts’ in 1914-1918 International Encyclopaedia of the First World War, commissioned from Gough for the peer-reviewed online resource co-ordinated by the Freie Universitat, Berlin. A book of the exhibition and related research projects with images and essays by Gough is in press.
