Contemporary Experience / Political Expression
Australian Aboriginal Prints at Cicada Press
Featuring printed works by Australian Aboriginal artists produced at Cicada Press since 2012, the exhibition highlights the various printmaking techniques that are available to visiting artists, as well as showcases the depth of talent and experience that the Aboriginal artists who spend time in the Art & Design printmaking studios at University of New South Wales bring with them. Some of the artworks are narrative-based, some are stories of memory, identity and tradition whilst others should be considered conceptual art with a particular Australian Aboriginal twist.
Artists: Vernon Ah Kee, Tony Albert, Brenda Croft, Christine Dumas, Aunty Joy Duncan, David Frank, Dale Harding, Laurel Nannup, Reko Rennie, Darrell Sibosado, Garry Sibosado and
Raymond Zada.
The catalogue includes 39 illustrations and individual artist statements, foreword by Hulleah J. Tsinhnahjinnie. introduction by Veronica Passalacqua and contributions by Michael Kempson and Tess Allas.
