Scope and Contents

Material connected to two trips made by Roger Law to Australia in 1995 and 1996. Items include, but are not limited to: contact lists, correspondence, ephemera, event schedules, travel documentation, and a proposal for a puppet making university course.

The following are present, and their accompanying number corresponds to their file reference number within this sub-sub-sub-series:

1. A folder with material that relates to Law's attendance and participation at the IDEAS Student Design Conference, held in Melbourne in April 1995. There is also post-conference material, including letters of gratitude.

2. A folder with material connected to Law's tour of the country, with his wife Deirdre Amsden, between September and November 1996. There were multiple reasons for this trip: a vacation; to explore the possibility of Law obtaining an artist in residency position at a university, in collaboration with the organisation, International Specialised Skills (ISS); and for Law to attend and participate in a conference held by The Australian Black and White Artists' Club. While in the country, Law also held meetings with television executives and other individuals. The contents of this file also includes correspondence from staff at Spitting Image Productions Limited, concerning work matters, while Law was in Australia. Also present in this file are a number of items from 1997, relating to the termination of Rebecca Hossack's post as Cultural Development Officer, at Australia House, London; and some documents from ISS, dated 1999.
