Australasian Artists' Responses to Death
Editorial
Peter Bishop

Identity, memory, the body, nature, culture, power and the sacred - those fundamental ingredients of death's imagination - have undergone profound transformations over the last three decades. The contributions in this issue of Artlink address various parts of this new vision of death.

Women's War Memorials
Feature
Catherine Speck

The major Australian Memorials to war and the memory of death in war, are widely perceived to be the province of male citizens, sculptors and architects.

And Love a Fantasy: Breastfeeding our Sexuality
Feature
Fay Brauer

On 17 March 1993, the body of photographer Angelo Campana was discovered in the burnt out remains of the newly opened IEG Waste Recycling Plant in Corrimal. According to the coroner's report, his death had not been caused by this fire, but from fatal head injuries incurred by the deceased's head being repeatedly bashed with a theodolite. This is the immediate crime which is appears to be investigated in Dennis Del Favero's sleuthian compilation of words and images, objects and installations called 'Prima Facie'.
