Minister’s Statement Director’s Statement

A great museum can use it’s collections to bring to life a hundred stories of discovery, adventure and share the wonders of the natural world, all in just one visit.

Museums also need to be a forum where new ideas, opinions and popular debate can be explored. This is the unique role museums play in today’s society.

The 2014 Waterhouse Natural Science Art Prize sees artists exploring issues such as climate change, genetic links and species loss. Their great skill has resulted in an exhibition of finalist artworks that is compelling, challenging and that will delight.

I wish to thank all of the artists for entering the competition, the judges for their careful consideration, and our donors and sponsors for their support of this truly unique project. I would also like to warmly thank SALA for welcoming the Museum as part of their rich programme of events.

The Waterhouse Natural Science Art Prize at the South Australian Museum is a significant annual event which continues to challenge and delight thousands of visitors.

This stunning exhibition, now in its 12th year, brings together science and art as it encourages artists to explore how the natural world inspires them and make a creative statement about the scientific issues facing our planet.

The South Australian Museum is one of Australia’s most admired and most visited scientific and cultural institutions, with vast collections of national and international importance.

I commend the South Australian Museum for continuing to explore creative and relevant ways to engage with science and I wish all the contenders for this year’s Waterhouse Natural Science Art Prize the very best luck.

The Hon Jack Snelling, M.P. Minister for the Arts

Brian Oldman Museum Director

Exploring the natural world through artistic creativity

Science is more crucial than ever before in helping us understand and address the overwhelming number of environmental challenges facing our planet.

The Waterhouse Natural Science Art Prize at the South Australian Museum is a prestigious international competition that challenges artists to explore the processes and discoveries of every scientific discipline in creative and unlimited ways.

Since 2002 artists from over 30 different countries, including the United Kingdom, Ecuador, Israel, Syria, France and Canada, have taken part in the competition. Hundreds of entries are received each year, and the Prize is judged by an independent jury that changes annually.

The stunning diversity and colour showcased in the gallery, as well as the scientific messages behind the high-calibre artworks, continues to attract visitors who love to see science through the boundless imagination of the talented artists.

The Waterhouse Natural Science Art Prize is a fixture in the Australian arts calendar and continues to play a significant role in provoking debate about art and science in order to encourage a greater understanding of our world.

Dr Wendy Wickes Memoriam Prize

The South Australian Museum is honoured to feature the Dr Wendy Wickes Memoriam Prize for excellence in Science Communication as part of the Waterhouse Natural Science Art Prize. This annual award is for the finalist artist whose work has been judged by the public to have communicated the most significant scientific message within the spirit of the competition.

About Dr Wendy Wickes

“The most important activity that a human being can obtain is to learn to understand, because to understand it is to be free.” Baruch Spinoza

Dr. Wendy Wickes commenced her professional career in Marine Biology after graduating with a Bachelor of Science (Hons), Wendy worked both here and in Israel before her career was cut short when her hearing in one ear was compromised due to diving, preventing her to take on an appointment in Aberdeen University. After her return to Australia Wendy went on to study Medicine, becoming a founding member and Fellow of the Australasian Chapter of Addictions Medicine. Her work in this field was acknowledged both nationally and internationally, as was her contribution to the World Health Organisation in facilitating the education of medical staff and the set up of methadone clinics throughout Indonesia. It was Wendy’s belief that we needed to be supportive of the less privileged and fight for the underdog which her other position as a member of the Social Securities Appeals Tribunal accomplished. Her commitment to all of these causes was provided

selflessly and with generosity of spirit, and with a love for her profession and the achievements with her diverse client groups.

Wendy was a great believer in the power of education, and throughout her career worked as an educator at various universities, always with the goal of helping young people develop their careers.

Her personal interests were also diverse, ranging from bird watching to equestrian dressage, and an uncanny and natural ability in diverse artistic pursuits, and a voracious appetite for art and literature.

Above all, Wendy will be remembered by her life’s companion, family, friends, colleagues and clients as a person of exceptional integrity and humility. Her intellect, love and compassion have enriched us all and continue to be an inspiration.

From art, from nature, from the schools, Let random influences glance, Like light in many a shiver’d lance That breaks about the dappled pools:

Lord Alfred Tennyson, In Memoriam

Dr Wendy Wickes

About the South Australian Museum

Generations of Adelaideans have explored the Ancient Egypt gallery, marveled at Nathan the lion in our World Mammals Gallery and rushed up four floors to see our 11-metre-long giant squid from top to bottom. South Australia’s unique fossil history is on show in the Fossils Gallery where you’ll find 40 000 year old megafauna fossils, 120 million year old opalised fossils and even 500 million year old Ediacaran fossils from the Flinders Ranges that changed our understanding of evolution.

Take some time out between galleries to relax and enjoy a meal in the Museum Café or browse through the Museum Shop, where you’ll find books, jewellery, toys, cultural artefacts and even fossils.

The South Australian Museum is also a major centre of exciting scientific discovery. Behind the scenes, scientists use our collections to understand Australia’s natural and cultural heritage and are world leaders in palaeontology, evolutionary biology, terrestrial invertebrates and mineralogy. Our scientists don’t just stay in the Museum, they take exhibits to regional areas for our Out of the Glass Case Roadshow. Our music programs, community initiatives and public events also inspire the community to learn more about our natural environment.

Museums are a trusted information resource because they are based on the real thing – the collections. Come and see ‘the real thing’ at the South Australian Museum.

Come and explore the South Australian Museum – the most visited natural history museum in Australia and one of Australia’s most important scientific and cultural institutions. We’re committed to sharing our specimens, stories and science with you in an interactive and fun environment to inspire lifelong learning and give you an experience you’ll never forget.

Wander through five floors of amazing exhibits where you’ll be surprised by nature and fascinated by our stories. The Museum cares for over four million objects and specimens collected over the last 150 years, ranging from minerals and meteorites to polar exploration artefacts and parasitic creatures. Our unique and globally significant collections are a vital part of Australia’s national heritage and the international scientific record and they’re growing every year!

Exploring South Australia or Australia for the first time? Start your journey at the gateway to Aboriginal Australia – the Australian Aboriginal Cultures Gallery. Our collection of Aboriginal material is the largest and most comprehensive in existence – a truly international resource. Here you can see Aboriginal artefacts from across the country and watch Aboriginal Australians tell their stories.

The South Australian Biodiversity Gallery highlights the extraordinary diversity of the wildlife you’ll encounter on your travels through the different regions of the State.

Have the locals been telling you tall tales about our animals? The Museum’s Information Centre is open every day – our science communicators can answer your questions or identify any specimens you bring in.
