Djalkiri: We are standing on their names – Blue Mud Bay

31 July – 4 September 2010: Exhibiting at 24HR ART NT Centre for Contemporary Art

Djalkiri is a Nomad Art Production exhibiting at 24HR ART NT Centre for Contemporary Art, as a part of the Darwin Festival in August 2010.

Djalkiri is an exhibition of works by Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists created during a cross-cultural collaborative printmaking workshop at Yilpara, Blue Mud Bay, Arnhem Land in 2009. Djalkiri literally means ‘footprint’, but when applied to Yolgnu law it takes on a more profound meaning, forming the ‘spiritual foundation of the world’.

The title, Djalkiri: We are standing on their names, are words spoken by Djambawa Marawili AM. It is an acknowledgement of cultural inheritance based on understanding and mutual respect. It is about walking together in the footsteps of the ancestors.

Nyapanyapa Yunupingu
Mayilimiriw Nuwayak ga Djorra: Bark and Paper

3 July – 1 August 2010

This is the third solo exhibition of bark paintings and limited edition prints at Nomad Art by Yolgnu artist Nyapanyapa Yunupingu. Nyapanyapa has now been painting on bark since 2007. The barks are personal and playful depictions of plants, animals, landscapes and events.

In 2008 Nyapanyapa attracted critical acclaim when she won the Wandjuk Marika 3D Memorial Award at the annual Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards. This installation of video and print reflected on an incident from the 1970's when Nyapanyapa was badly gored by a buffalo.

Nyapanyapa Yunupingu lives in Yirrkala, North-East Arnhem Land.

Nyapanyapa's work has been more valued for the spontaneity and texture of her hand. She expresses her capacity to live in the moment in the freeness of her mark making. There is no calculation or even regard for the audience in her renditions. Their final appearance is almost random. They are an expression of the movements of her hand as they happen to have taken place on that particular day.

Darwin Editions 5 February - 6 March 2010

Recent etchings by Darwin artists Don Whyte and Rob Brown.

Rob Brown has collaborated with Northern Editions printmaker Jacqueline Gribbin to produce a series of etchings exploring the life and works of Charles Darwin, on the 150th anniversary of the publication of his seminal work On the Origin of Species.
With his characteristic wit, Brown has depicted both ends of Darwin's evolutionary scale in these inventive and lively monochrome prints. Reminiscent of 17th century copper plate etchings they pay homage to one of Brown's idols Rembrandt, with their deep black chiaroscuro, irregular scratching marks and experimental quality.

These prints cleverly marry an old world sensibility with a sharp, humorous contemporary edge.

Don WhiteThe tangled and evocative images created by Don Whyte represent the contrasting natural environment of Northern Australia. Don enjoys interpretations viewers bring to the work as they find geological forms, animal skin or botanical patterning emerging from the work. He has recently produced three new etchings introducing warm tones and variations of mark making which compliment his fine ink drawings, textural paintings and monotone etchings.

Threads of Life New glass works by Meng Hoeschle 6 – 28 November

Meng Hoeschle has lived and worked as an artist and arts manager in the Top End of the Northern Territory since 1974.

MengMeng’s work refers to her Chinese Malay heritage and expresses metaphorically her physical and spiritual journey. She uses mainly recycled materials to symbolise the cycle of life.

Fish bones and coloured sands suggest the life and country of the people with whom Meng lived and felt so at one with on remote NT communities. Found objects such as fragments of corrugated iron and other metals refer to the earth’s minerals, transformed in past times to functional objects and now transformed again, reflecting the continual changes of state of all matter.  Copper wire is threaded, knotted and fused within glass, to indicate the many threads of experience within her life’s journey.

Azimuth: New paper works by Winsome Jobling
2 - 31 October 2009

Winsome Jobling is engaged in all aspects of paper making from historical and seasonal research to sourcing, harvesting and nurturing the fibre plants. Each plant produces unique and different qualities of paper. Her new work is the result of a study trip to the USA, in which the artist has been exploring the use of pigments, pulp spraying and commercially produced fibres such as abaca and hemp.

“The exhibition encompasses the here and the far away. The tracts of bushland within Darwin city are a breathing space and a refuge, a source of materials and ideas. Further away to the moon and the planets – I don’t want to have to move to another planet.” Winsome Jobling 2009

Tali Tjintiri-Tjintiri Munu Kapi Tjukula (Red Sands and Rockholes) is a boxed folio of ten screenprints produced at Tjungu Palya Art Centre with Basil Hall. The boxed folio features works by David Miller, Ginger Wikilyiri, Wingu Tingima, Lance Peck, Beryl Jimmy, Jimmy Baker, Nyankulya Watson, Angkaliya Curtis and Bernard Tjalkuri.

Tjungu Palya is a collaboration of artists located about 100 km south of Uluru at Nyapari in South Australia and is set at the base of the majestic Mann Ranges in the heart of country owned by the Pitjantjatjara people. The artists have powerful spiritual links to this desert country and their culture. There is a strong relationship between this deeply spiritual existence and the creation of paintings which embody the authority of intimate knowledge.

Basil Hall traveled to the art centre in 2008 and early 2009 to work with the artists on this stunning body of work.

Elcho Elements
July 11 – August 1 2009

This series of reduction wood block prints comes from Elcho Island Arts, located approximately 550kms north east of Darwin.

The wood block prints are an extension of a long established carving tradition. Each artwork is based upon inherited designs, which originate with ancestral beings who created the land. The prints are based on the four natural elements (earth, fire, water and sky) but also exist as a person, spirit, place, colour, song, dance, ceremony, season, experience, thought, plant, animal, or sea creature and the relationships connecting all these.

Elcho Elements is the result of a workshop held with Basil Hall Editions on the Island in 2009.

New Prints from Buku Larrnggay Mulka
Sat 11 July – Sat 1 August 2009

Artists at Buku Larrnggay Mulka have been making limited edition prints with support from Basil Hall Editions since 1996. The print workshop is located at the Art Centre and produces limited edition lino prints, wood cuts, screen prints and etchings.

The print images express the sacred identity of the artists, who come from Yirrkala and approximately 25 homeland centres within a radius of 250km, (the Miwatj region). Miwatj means 'morning side' and refers to the fact that it is the most eastern part of the Top End. Every print relates to the design of the artist’s own clan or connecting clans within this region.

Buku Larrnggay Mulka are renowned for spectacular exhibitions mounted on stringybark trees at the annual Garma Festival (Gapan Gallery), and at the Darwin Festival (Galuku Gallery) in conjunction with Nomad Art.

Nyapanyapa Yunupingu
6 June - 4 July 2009

Nyapanyapa YunupinguNyapanyapa is quite remarkable. She is perhaps the artist of the region most remote from the market she creates for. In this sense her art is really quite pure for it is without any consideration or desire to understand what happens beyond point of sale to her art centre. Through an increasing interest in her work these things may change.

She is a widow, a wife of the late Djapu clan leader Djirrin Mununggurr. She is a ceremonial woman and a battler without material possession. She is a classificatory sister to star artist Gulumbu and traveled once to Adelaide for the 2005 Festival with her kin for a critically acclaimed crying performance in honour of her deceased sister and senior artist Gaymala.

Nyapanyapa’s prints, especially her whacky and boldly coloured screen prints have been a hit for 10 years. Many of her editions have been in many exhibitions around the world. She started to paint on bark in 2007.
