Timeline

1840

The following year, Rubbo commissioned Burke to curate the national touring exhibition Australian Women Artists 1840–1940.

The gallery hosted international feminist art critic, Lucy Lippard, who delivered a talk to a women-only audience.

Melbourne's Women's Art Forum and Women's Art Register were subsequently established in the gallery.

1944

Kristin "Kiffy" Dattilo Rubbo (1944–1980) was an Australian gallery director and curator.

Rubbo was born in Melbourne to artist Ellen Rubbo and professor of microbiology Sydney Dattilo Rubbo.

1948

She had three siblings, academic architect Anna Rubbo, bookseller Mark Rubbo (b1948) and artist and filmmaker Michael Rubbo (b1938).

Rubbo's family had strong connections to the arts.

Her mother was a painter, and regularly exhibited in the Art Gallery of New South Wales and the Victorian state galleries.

Her father also had an interest in the arts, especially painting, sculpture and the theatre.

Her Italian-born grandfather Antonio Dattilo Rubbo was an artist and well-known art teacher.

He taught at the (Royal) Art Society of New South Wales where he was also a council-member.

While a teenager, Rubbo studied drama in New York.

1965

Rubbo graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Melbourne in 1965.

1972

In 1972, the inaugural Bubbles event at the gallery hosted three-thousand children for school holiday creative workshops.

Frances Lindsay describes the initiative as "a pioneer program in Australian galleries and museums for the active and educative engagement of young people".

1974

With Meredith Rogers, the gallery's assistant director, in 1974 Rubbo began producing a regular listing of Melbourne gallery shows as an informal mimeographed publication, naming it the Art Almanac under which name it continues.

The exhibition involved Stelarc being continuously physically present in the gallery for 10 days.

His bodily sounds including his heart, lungs and muscle movements were recorded and amplified.

Following Rubbo's death, Lip feminist art magazine published recollections on her life.

Meredith Rogers, Suzanne Davies, Janine Burke and Judy Annear penned contributions.

Rogers was Associate Director at the gallery from 1975 to the start of 1979.

Her text describes Rubbo's uniquely collaborative and anti-hierarchical working manner, which was conversational, personal, emotional and feminist.
