The Augustan Exhibition of Romanita`, held in Rome’s Palazzo delle Esposizioni between 1937 and 1938, exemplifies the aestheticisation, ritualisation and sacralisation of politics during the Fascist era in Italy. This article conducts a multi-layered spatial analysis of the exhibition that considers space as passively experienced, as an agent to re-map memory, as a mediator between intention and reception and as having both physical and mental characteristics. The relative sizes of the spaces, their sequence and their axial placement within the Palazzo’s plan were the most powerful forces that conveyed the exhibition’s overall political and social aims. The Mostra Augustea della Romanita` (MAR) is here analysed as a form of historical representation with a specific narrative which is played out within an orchestrated space in order to create and reinforce a (Fascist) political identity. The idea of Rome took on material aspects through a kind of ‘recognition effect’ for the visitor by presenting Romanita` as a collective mirror in which to view an image of their own social visage. Thus an active connection would, according to the organisers, be forged between a Roman past and a Fascist present, and its two leaders and creators, Augustus and Mussolini, as well as between the individual and society. The MAR also demonstrates the prevalence of the cult of Il Duce in Fascist society and its importance for maintaining high levels of consent. With its focus on a particular view of the ancient world, the MAR was an ephemeral event that acted as teleological justification for the advent and supposed permanence of Fascism, which at the same time presented itself as a unique archaeological, scientific and educational document of the Roman world.

James McArdle and Lorena Carrington submitted to the Castlemaine State Festival competitive curated process the exhibition 'Fruiting Bodies'  which was accepted under the Fesitval theme: 'Pressing Matters'.  James McArdle’s practice is to use the qualities of the medium to reflect on itself. Camera vision and human perception are often compared; this is a simplification, but full of potential that might illuminate the nature of vision and attention. Haptic senses are stimulated in the eye by ‘racking’ focus (normally a cinematographic effect); and elsewhere with tilt-shift techniques; while ‘dollying’ the camera by hand around a still point renders the concentric vortex effects. A sense of physical presence and immersion is evoked with the exhibition. Fruiting Bodies’: is an instance of the application of this practice employed to ask the viewer to consider how strange is the phenomenon of the fruiting tree: is it promiscuous to offer your seed openly to the elements, to any who will take it. Is this forbidden? Is it profligate to hide your progeny inside gifts so tempting in their appeal to that most primitive desire, hunger? Is this wholly mere biological expedience evolved to ensure the widest migration of your offspring? Or does it derive from some boundless cosmic generosity? These images invite you to come close to the tree, where within its arms you will find shelter from the sun at its zenith and from the autumnal rains. Fruit is the focus of James’s lens as it circles deep into the embrace of limbs and leaves.
