Mr Chris Saines CNZM

Chris Saines CNZM is a remarkable leader in the arts, renowned for his transformative impact on cultural institutions both in New Zealand and Australia, through various roles as director, collection manager, educator and curator.

He has made significant contributions to the community by fostering vibrant and inclusive cultural environments, and earned wide recognition for his dynamic leadership and exceptional passion for art.

Since 2013, Mr Saines has been Director of the Queensland Art Gallery and Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA) where he has expanded the Gallery’s collection, introduced innovative exhibitions, and enhanced public engagement programs.

Mr Saines has worked tirelessly for QAGOMA to be the leading Museum for the contemporary art of Australia, Asia and the Pacific. He is committed to internally curating major exhibitions both from the collection and with leading international artists, and to touring collection exhibitions nationally and internationally. He has continued to grow the QAGOMA audience and strengthen its relationship with the Queensland community and beyond.

A champion for inter-institutional collaboration, both artistically and in growing Queensland’s cultural economy, Mr Saines has been an active collaborator and supporter of QUT and the QUT Art Museum through many projects, interactions and associations over the years.

A highlight was a notable two-year collaborative research project focused on the technical art history and conservation treatment of William Robinson's painting oeuvre. QUT academic staff have also collaborated with QAGOMA on many projects including: the QAGOMA Digital Residency; the Met Artist Wall for the ‘European Masterpieces from The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York’ exhibition (2021); and the Uramat Mugas (Uramat Story Songs) Project for APT10 (2021-2022).

In 2012, Chris Saines was awarded Companion of the Order of New Zealand (CNZM) for his services to the arts.

Mr Saines holds a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Art History from La Trobe University (1976).

In recognition of his distinguished service to QUT and the community, QUT Council has awarded Chris Saines CNZM Doctor of the University.

Supervisors

• Dr Susan Narelle Chapman  (Principal Supervisor)
• Ms Avril Nicole Huddy  (External Supervisor)
• Dr Lyndal May O'Gorman  (Mentoring Supervisor)

Citation

This thesis explores the potential of dance to advance sustainability within business and creative contexts by aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It demonstrates how integrating sustainable practices within dance contexts enhances societal value and contributes to global sustainability efforts. The first project examines sustainability practices in dance businesses, while the second employs experiential workshops that merge dance with energy-generating technology. They underscore the role of dance in fostering a sustainable future, serving as a catalyst for change. Both advance environmental sustainability and social impact by educating through the SDGs and showcasing applications of sustainable technologies in creative contexts.
