I was privileged to be Lead Curator of first survey of Pilbara art for FORM and The Art Gallery of Western Australia, with a curatorial team comprising Clothilde Bullen, Glenn Iseger-Pilkington, Tui Raven, Ron Bradfield Jr. and Sharmila Wood, working in collaboration with Cheeditha Art Group, Juluwarlu Art Group, Martumili Artists, Spinifex Hill Studio, Yinjaa-Barni Art and independent artists Jill Churnside, Katie West and Curtis Taylor.
The exhibition comprised over 100 works in multiple mediums by more than 80 Pilbara artists, and was overseen by a Cultural Advisory Group of representatives from the multiple Aboriginal Language Groups represented in the exhibition.
Outcomes of the project went on to show in Primavera at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney, Tarnanthi at the Art Gallery of South Australia and the 24th Biennale of Sydney, and were acquired by collections including the Art Gallery of Western Australia, Janet Holmes à Court and Kerry Stokes, among others.
Pictured above are works by Jill Churnside.
