Alice in the Boat by Charles Blackman - 122.0 x 135.0 cm.SPRING 2006Welcome to my WorldStreetSmartMercedes SL MagicCancer Research

From the Insidehave always believed that companiescan be financially successful and still dothe right thing, both environmentally andsocially, and I am not alone at 101. Many ofthe companies at 101 have extensive socialand environmental programs. It was gratifyingto see seven 101 corporations - CreditSuisse, Challenger, Goldman Sachs JBWere,Macquarie Bank, Boston Consulting Group,Booz Allen Hamilton Consulting Group andFreehills involved in the "Welcome to myWorld" program. These seven companiesopened their doors to northern suburbsstudents from Mill Park and Hillcrest secondarycolleges.The event was part of the EducationFoundation’s City Centre program thatgives the students a chance to learn moreabout Melbourne’s CBD. The classroom toboardroom experience was the brainchild ofVictoria Foster from Credit Suisse who hadworked on a similar program in New York.She hoped the students would gain a newperspective on life.Pamela Webb from the Education Foundation,who helped organize the event, said“Something truly moving happened at 101. Iwatched the faces of the kids, as I reflectedon the worlds that they may well go backto, and I marvelled that in this crazy messyworld of ours, the good is alive and well- flourishing even. There was so much effortput into that event, by every companyinvolved. Other staff were likewise moved.Kids genuinely experienced a “welcome tomy world”.Welcome tomy WorldAnother initiative supported by the 101community is StreetSmart – a great way tohelp the disadvantaged, whilst enjoying diningout in Melbourne. It's such a simple idea,but works – which is often the way. AdamRobinson had the idea but was able to putit into action with the help of ChristopherThorn of Goldman Sachs JBWere, Freehillsand Kirby Design.These examples of social responsibilityshow the depth of engagement with thecommunity by 101 tenants, and are a greatexample of Australian values.Cheers PeterFrom the Editor’s deskfew weeks ago my husband and I losta good friend to cervical cancer, so weare very conscious of the research takingplace into women’s cancers. Some startlingstatistics - each year over 800 Australianwomen die of ovarian cancer – almost doublethe number of women who will die on ourroads. The Women’s Cancer Foundation wasestablished to provide for the continual developmentof gyneacological cancer researchof the Ovarian Cancer Institute. ProfessorMichael Quinn is a Director of the OCI. He isan energetic and good-humored Glaswegianwho now resides in Australia.Michael Quinn has had a profound influenceon the health of countless women inAustralia including a percentage of womenat 101 Collins Street. This foundation hasbeen one of the 101 management’s favouritecharities. An interview with Professor Quinncan be seen on page 10.At a recent cocktail party hosted byMercedes Benz in the foyer of 101, a chequefrom Mercedes to advance this research, washanded over to Tracey Curro, Ambassador ofthe Women’s Cancer Foundation. Mercedestook the opportunity to launch their newSL class car which was on display to thedelight of enthusiasts at 101! The cocktailparty features in our Social Pages.

Welcome to my World...discover the possibilitiesThe City Centre - Classroom to Boardroom ProgramMany thanks to the teachers at City Centre for assistance with this report“The greatest good you can do foranother is not just share your riches,but reveal to them their own.”Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881)101 Year 9 students from Mill Park and HillcrestSecondary Colleges recently descendedon 101 Collins Street as guests of sevenleading corporations - Credit Suisse, Challenger,Goldman Sachs JBWere, MacquarieBank, Boston Consulting Group, Booz AllenHamilton Consulting Group, Freehills - anda brand new world of corporate Melbournewas opened to them.‘Welcome to my world…discover thepossibilities“ is an exciting extension of TheCity Centre’s “Classroom to Boardroom”program which provides rich opportunitiesfor young people from government schoolsto meet with staff and leaders of many ofthe foremost corporations across Melbourne.This visit was the result of much work doneby Victoria Foster, Associate InvestmentBanking, Credit Suisse, in collaborationwith The City Centre, and was the first timeClassroom to Boardroom has been managedon such a scale. “Welcome to my World”provided an opportunity for firms in 101 Collinsto collaborate and increase the impact oftheir involvement in social responsibility.Classroom to Boardroom builds bridgesbetween the classroom and the world ofwork. Although the environment may bevastly different, the core values of theworkplace are closely related to the valuesthat teachers are developing with the youngpeople in their classrooms: teamwork, collaboration,decision-making, effective communicationand leadership. Sometimes, anew environment helps an old message toget through.101 gave the young people an incrediblywarm welcome, and staff from the corporationsinvolved shared personal stories andexplained their work. Teachers from thecolleges said “it gave them (the students) theability to explore possibilities they may nothave previously thought were available” and,importantly, “it broke down barriers”.Booz Allen HamiltonConsulting GroupBronni Cloney, Renee Moshelias, CameronTurl, Pausha Mosley, Daniel O’Rourke, DeannaBarnett, Fiona Yiannoullou, MayleneSilipa, Steven Petrovski, Stanko Bos, SarahCa , Alie Peebles.Bryce Howie, Senior Consultant at Booz AllenHamilton, facilitated a hypothetical “commercialstrategy case” session, where studentsbrainstormed possibilities for how onesports apparel manufacturer might overtakeanother in the market. They experienced theworld of defence through simulation gamesthat looked a bit like “playstation on steroids”.They located their schools and suburbs ona map of the northern suburbs and musedabout strategic options for transport routesbetween Mill Park and Broadmeadows.They shared sandwiches and drinks with thestaff at Booz Allen around the boardroomtable and exchanged stories about what theywanted to be when they grew up. Some ofthe consultants confessed to still not knowingwhat they wanted to do when they grewup! Everyone agreed that experience anddetermination, not just academic qualifications,are necessary to be successful in theworld of work.ChallengerNathan Barry, Gemma Marshall, MatthewRizza, Elly Hackney, Alexander Kundevski,Ahmed Jayba, Omar Moumajed, Scott Ford,Matthew Peisley, Kristijian Mihaljer, StephanieChapman, Troy Ashton, Jessica Buttigieg,Shannyn Cannell.You would not expect young people to besitting around a table discussing superannuationand mortgage management, butthat is exactly what happened at Challenger,which is in the business of buying and sellingmoney – a different notion of shopping fromthat previously experienced by the group.Tobin Fonseca, General Manager ofOperations & Technology shared his storyof starting out in the mailroom many yearsbefore. Tobin opened up the world of financesto the students with slides, graphsand personal stories. Tobin’s career path wasa long journey, nearly as long as coming allthe way from Canada.4 The 101 Quarterly

One aspect of many of the shared storiesin this program is how much people havetravelled the world with their work.Over lunch staff and students talked a lotabout work, footy, and what the kids wantedto do at school - and how to get into theshare market!Credit SuisseTeagan Ackland, Jessica Cordi, Tayly Ostwald-Comber, Tima Elmaneh, Daniel Sotiropoulos,Nicholas Rizza, Jessica Alexander, RebekahNitney, Keren Matilainen, Vicky Ford, MatthewDent, Josh Chivers, Adam Shelley, TonySylvester, Katie Ridding, Josh Fridey.Victoria Foster, the organiser of “Welcometo my World”, introduced herself and gavestudents the opportunity to find out aboutCredit Suisse and the staff involved in theprogram. The students were then dividedinto smaller groups and went through anexercise involving starting, running andexpanding a business of their choice. Thiswas a practical demonstration of the natureof their business. A visit to the IT Departmentwas also a great hit.This was followed by personal storiesfrom a wide variety of staff, all of whom couldbring to life the vast variety of paths they tookto reach their present career. Some of thestaff came from suburbs the students couldidentify with. Stories were shared over lunchin the boardroom where they learnt that oneof the most important things is attitude.Three things that were good about the day:. seeing how successful everyone was. they have places to calm down and relaxif they get stressed (like the 101 Art Gallery). hearing other people’s storiesFreehillsAnthony Comodo, Valter Ng, Michael Coniglio,Trishala Naidu, Sarah Rabahi, MelikeKasil, Iman Hujale, Karen Plant, ChrisHalkidis, Abdi Hujale, Matt Beattie, BradHutchinson, Zac Beattie, Nathan Caldwell,Michael Parker.After dragging the students away from thefabulous views in the Freehills boardroom,the Freehills staff told the students abouttheir roles in the company and took themfor a tour of the office. Then it was back tothe boardroom for lunch – delicious chickensatays, pizzas, sandwiches. Everyone piledtheir plates high and sat down to listen toMike Ferraro, Managing Partner of Freehillswho spoke about his background and careerand how it developed to become managingpartner at Freehills.The students were able to relate to hisItalian migrant background in Broadmeadows.Although good at sport, his academicgrades were not good. When his father toldhim to improve, or he would not be able toaccompany the family on holiday to Italy, itwas the catalyst that made him focus academically.He explained that if you haveambition and drive you can get somewhere.He spoke about the life experiences whichhad shaped his desire to be a lawyer, the impactof part time work from an early age andwhat being a lawyer in a large firm meantto him personally and professionally. Therewas also discussion on the importance ofgetting along with people, building relationshipsand treating others with respect.Boston Consulting GroupPrashanth Bartlett, Nicole Martin,, NathanTaylor, Tyler McIntyre, Daniel Whelan, SamanthaMurabito, Scivane Issa, Kim Mustafa,Juliana Toma, Colin Mator, Matt Sinnett,Matt Shewan.Pauline Collyer from Boston Consultingorganized the visit to Boston ConsultingGroup. The students were introduced, intothe various roles in Boston Consulting, thehistory of the company and the future goalsby consultants Julia Haywood and MelissaRoberts. The BCG staff made this event amemorable and encouraging experienceand used the startup and development ofan airline as an example of the work theydo. They shared personal stories about theirbackgrounds and the various pathways thatsaw them working at BCG, and planted theseeds in the minds of many of the students,that maybe one day they could do that too.They really appreciated the views and intheir words, thought it was ‘sick, man’! Thatwas probably one of the highlights.Goldman Sachs JBWereJane Majo, Salvador Asfar, Elysha Larner,Rhys Rech, Kristie Gluyas, Tabitha Spiteri,Josh Brown, Maya Hadziefon, Emre Akbiyik,Harry Stamatiadis, Masi Taisi, Murat Kolay,Steven Bologna, Jessica Crossley , Jake Delgadillo,Jordan Bauchanan.Christpher Thorn, Executive Director, PhilanthropicServices, Goldman Sachs JBWere,explained Goldman Sachs business.

Therewas a tour of the trading room, where itwas found out that the research team andthe traders were divided by a glass wall andhad to receive permission before they spoketo each other.The Client Entertainment area was a treat- “everything is so clean”, and over lunch inthe boardroom they discovered details ofthe working careers of the consultants andsome of the special rewards of working fora global company.Macquarie BankHayley Arnold, Patrick Javier, Celeste Poutini-Warra,Stephanie Gallo, Alix Tate, MikeyMahmoud, Jack Devitt, Luke Mavity, NeilMendez-Lopez, Yalcin Akyildiz, Jessi Kazmir,Alan John, Ziad Amouche, Brad Bedford,Michael Taulaupe, Michael Spratley.The students were welcomed to the magnificentMacquarie Bank boardroom wherethey met Graham Maloney, Division Director,Financial Institutions Group.

Prof. Michael Quinn – Ovarian Cancer Instituteichael Quinn is Director of Oncology/Dysplasiaat The Royal Women’sHospital, Melbourne and Professor in theDepartment of Obstetrics and Gynaecologyat the University of Melbourne. He is theauthor of more than 120 articles and haswritten a number of important text bookson Gynaecological Cancer. He currentlychairs the Ovarian Cancer Research Groupat the Cancer Council and is a member ofthe National Expert Advisory Group onOvarian Cancer.The following interview gives someinsight into Michael Quinn.What attracted you to medicine?The opportunity to care for peopleWhy did you specifically specialise inwoman’s cancer?I looked after a 19 year old when I was training,and I’ll never forget her name: it wasRosa. Rosa had a very malignant unusualgerm cell tumour of the ovary and she diedwithin three months, she died when I wasthere looking after her, and that has lived withme ever since. And it’s been at the back of mymind that if you can make a small change ina big disease, even a small change will savelives, and is therefore worth doing.What has been your most formativeexperience?Training with Dr Robert Fraser in Canada,who applied a holistic, team based approach,treating not just the disease, but caring forthe whole woman and her family.Who do you admire professionally?Ian Frazer, another Scotsman, Australian ofthe Year, who developed the vaccine forcervical cancerWho do you admire personally?Social worker and community activist, LesTwentyman, for his approach and dedicationto disadvantaged kids in Melbourne’swestern suburbs.What do you think has been your greatestachievement?Introducing multidisciplinary care to theRoyal Women’s Hospital and Peter Mac 20years ago, the model which delivers the bestpossible care and treatment.What do you do in your leisure time?Read, listen to opera, run.What is your personal definition ofsuccess?Achieving your vision for yourself.How would you like the world to perceiveyou?As a persistent advocate for women’s healthThis year, more than 1200 women in Australiawill be diagnosed with ovarian cancer, 800women will die – almost double the numberof women who will die on our roads. Currently,there is no community-based screeningtest for early stage ovarian cancer. Mostpeople mistakenly believe that the Pap smeartest will detect all gynaecological abnormalities,but this is not the case. By the time mostwomen are diagnosed with ovarian cancer,it has spread throughout the body and thesurvival rate is less than 30%.Women’s Cancer FoundationFundraising Dinner 25 Octobercontact Judy 0407 826 771.

She paints from life - collecting objects that arefamiliar and frequently used such as flowers, fruit, vessels and clothing and arrangesthem to be pictured in her studio.Mertzlin’s works embrace an old world and contemporary elegance. Her abilityto render in paint the insubstantial qualities of light and space invites the pleasureof delicate scrutiny - vases of fresh flowers and seasonal fruit; ceramic and glass vesselsamidst formal table settings; stockings, lipstick cases and powder compacts; andunexplained elements such as feathers and thread - transport us into a contemplativeworld. Through intimate observation of surface, light and colour, the present intrudesto animate her arrangements. It is the resonances between things, rather than theobjects themselves, that come to the fore to spark memory, fantasy and curiosity.WAVETapestry & PhotographyTIM GRESHAM19 SEPTEMBER - 7 OCTOBERWaves in water, waves of light, waves of rhythmical patterns, sound and music; this is what mycurrent body of work is about. In the photographs there are images of water, skies, shimmeringlight on wet surfaces, and repetitive architectural forms. They are linked to the tapestries,which have layers of rhythmical patterns flowing through them. There are patterns inside ofpatterns, from the structure of the weave up to the overall design.There is a sense of energy in the work, but also a quietness and stillness. A moment frozenin time. With the photographs this happens instantly, but with the tapestries the act offreezing the moment takes time. This contrast is important to me and is reflected throughoutthe work: Black and white photographs as opposed to colour tapestries. The tactile, fibroussurface of the tapestries contrasts with the smooth photographs. The images in the photographsare precisely composed, whereas the tapestries are sections of abstract patterns, which couldcontinue indefinitely.Pulse, 2006, woven tapestry, 110 x 110cm.Below: Synchronic Variations II, 2006, light jet print on photographic paper, ed.5, 40 x 55cmOff the Shelf, 2006, oil on canvas,56 x 46cm.SHADES OF MEANING IVPaintingKATHLEEN MITCHELL19 SEPTEMBER - 7 OCTOBERIn the fourth exhibition in the series the artist elaborates her investigation of colour, abstractionand spatial relationships.‘The literal image is something as a painter I’ve not been comfortable with. My paintingsare a response to memory, feelings, shapes, colour and rhythms, which present themselvesunexpectedly on the canvas. I let the canvas dictate to me the mass, line and colour until aunified whole has been established.’In these works unpremeditated colours and shapes have evolved as motifs, which appearand reappear like a chromatic scale and rhythm in music. Figure – ground relationshipsdetermine the arrangement of colour fields in each work. Mitchell approaches compositionin terms of spatial relationships and correspondences through which she achieves a senseof balance and harmony.‘Like a composer with a tune playing in my head, these motifs have had to be tossedaround, elaborated on, fine tuned and put to rest. The overall body of imagery is my responseto a moment in time, but ultimately the only thing that matters is that the paintingshave a life of their own’.18 The 101 Quarterly

The place of meditation andappreciation for our tenantsZhao Bandi, Zhao Bandi and Panda, 2002, photograph, 120 x 150cm.MELBOURNE INTERNATIONAL ARTSFESTIVALZHAO BANDI & ZHOU TIEHAI10 – 28 OCTOBER 2006Contemporary Chinese artistsZhao Bandi creates highly stylised photographs of himself and histoy panda, a universal symbol of China. The text, which often appearsalong side the two, is comical and yet there is earnestness inthe tone which suggests the ‘seriousness’ of the relationship. Thechoice of the animal dates back to 1996 and is intended as a playfulparody of the illustrated calendars that are so popular in China. Theromance of such calendars is turned on its head as an attractive girlin a night-dress looks on in amazement – and perhaps disapproval– as an athletic Zhao Bandi holds the panda in his arms.Zhou Tiehai uses the face of Joe Camel, a classic symbol ofAmerican cigarette advertising, to replace the heads of westernart’s most famous Victorian and renaissance portrait paintings. Hiswork explores the significance of east-west cultural exchange byquestioning the impact of icons and by questioning the art marketitself. The fact that he doesn’t paint these images is all part of thegame Tiehai plays with the art world, which considers him one ofChina’s leading contemporary artists.Images courtesy the artists and ShangART Gallery.Supported by Australia-China Council.www.melbournefestival.com.auZhou Tiehai, Palace Woman, 2004, air brush (acrylic) on canvas,160 x 190cm.DAI MARCIAPEDI ITALIANI(From Italian Footpaths) PrintmakingCARMEL WALLACE31 OCTOBER – 18 NOVEMBERdai marciapiedi italiani is an exhibition of prints and collagescreated from surfaces and materials found on walks aroundRome, Florence and Venice. The exhibition comprises a numberof suites of work incorporating collages of billboard posters,frottages, digital prints and etchings. A selection of these worksfeatured at the Mildura Writers’ Festival in July this year.The work is an interplay between collected images andtext from various sources. The text is used generally in anabstracted, graphic manner, but this is counterpoint to a subtlerendering of detailed snippets of stories and reports fromnewspapers, magazines and other sources, such as the historicalMedici diaries from Florence. Street surfaces and outlet covers,collected through rubbings or frottage, not only providegraphic evidence of industrial histories, but also document thephysicality of walking. Meaning is often ambiguous with theseemingly random layering and juxtaposition of compositionalPetrarch (detail), 2005, collage on paper, 78 x 107cm.elements allowing for a range of interpretations.
