Adelaide Festival Centre presents
Mark Making in Print:
two exhibitions of collectible Indigenous prints
During the summer holidays, drop in to the Adelaide Festival Centre's Artspace Gallery to see Mark Making in Print, comprising two different Indigenous art exhibitions and on display from 13 December 2008 - 1 February 2009.
An exhibition offering something for all ages to enjoy, there will also be an activity corner with the opportunity for children and adults to create their own "mark making" artworks to take home. This free self-guided activity will be available for the duration of the exhibition.
South Australian Impressions is a unique view of the graphic work being made by Aboriginal artists in remote areas of South Australia. This exhibition represents a selection of original works both newly released or made over the last decade by Aboriginal artists working with master printmakers. The prints demonstrate the skill with which Indigenous artists continue to adapt to new media to tell the stories of their Land and Culture.
The exhibition will feature prints from 6 Anangu art centres from far north SA including Ernabella's Milpatjunanyi (sand stories) series, which "capture" the tradition of Pitjantjatjara women telling stories to their children and other women by singing and drawing in the sand with brand new editions of prints from Tjungu Palya Arts and new monoprints from Ninuku Arts in Kalka.
Custodians: Country and Culture is a boxed folio collection of new limited edition etchings, screenprints and relief prints by ten outstanding Indigenous Australian artists. Each artist is currently working in Australia, from remote communities across the Kimberley region of Western Australia and Australia's tropical top end and Central Desert regions of Northern Territory.
The artists were selected and invited to collaborate with specialist printmakers of Basil Hall Editions, on the strength of their artistic output and cultural standing. Each artist is exploring the notion of custodianship as it relates to them; be it their custodial role in land-management or ceremony, or ownership and maintenance of particular stories or law:
Bardayal Nadjamerrek AO, Gawirrin Gumana, Gulumbu Yunupingu, Regina Wilson, Jean Baptiste Apuatimi, Lena Nyadbi, Jangangoo Butcher Cherel, Kathleen Petyarre, Dorothy Napangardi, Judy Napangardi Watson.
The high quality, limited edition prints have been hand printed to sell both as complete sets in cloth-bound folios which are nearly sold out (only 25 produced) or available individually (a further 20), making this small run a highly desirable investment for collectors of fine art. Custodians is co-published by Basil Hall Editions, Nomad Art (Darwin) and Alison Kelly Gallery (Melbourne).
Basil Hall has conducted numerous workshops throughout Australia introducing printing techniques to Indigenous artists. Over the last 25 years, Basil and his teams of printers have produced several thousand editions of etchings, relief prints, silkscreen prints, collagraphs and lithographs. Since 1996 he has been based in the Top End of Australia and works almost exclusively with Indigenous artists from most Australian states and territories, but primarily from remote communities in NT, WA and SA.
Projects have included the Yuendumu Doors suite of etchings, which won the 2000 Telstra Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Art Award for Works on Paper, Milpatjunanyi (sand stories) for Ernabella Arts, Injalak Suite for Injalak Arts in Oenpelli, Custodians Country & Culture (2008) and After Berndt (with Buku Larrnggay Mulka in Yirrkala).
