Emily Kngwarreye: Why she kicks ass

She was an Aboriginal artist from the Utopia community in the Northern Territory, Australia.

She is one of the most prominent and successful artists in the history of contemporary Indigenous Australian art.

She didn’t take up painting seriously until she was nearly 80.

Her early art was for preparing and using designs for women’s ceremonies, she then moved to painting batik cloth, then to canvas.

Her first international solo exhibition of was held in Amsterdam at the Oude Kerk in 1999 by The Aboriginal Gallery of Dreamings.

In 2013, the first museum featuring a single Aboriginal Artist will be opened in Melbourne Australia . The Emily Museum is located at 11-15 Christensen St Cheltenham Victoria Australia . See more here.

Also in 2000, Emily’s work was amongst that of eight individual and collaborative groups of Indigenous Australian artists shown in the prestigious Nicholas Hall at the Hermitage Museum in Russia.

On 23 May 2007 her 1994 painting Earth’s Creation was purchased by Tim Jennings of Mbantua Gallery & Cultural Museum for A$1,056,000 at auction, setting a new record an Aboriginal artwork.

These two images come from a dream in which ecological preservation (my usual conceptual thesis) retranslated into human-animal cohabitation.

Mary Whalley - Ornamental Thoughtfulness

For six weeks, a number of small bronze hands were installed in public places throughout Wellington, New Zealand. Their purpose is to hold offerings which passers-by can take or replace with their own anonymous tokens of generosity or thoughtfulness. The project enacts the idea of ‘idealistic antagonism’ - a term the artist created to describe moments of anonymous kindness or beauty which interrupts the everyday mundane. Video here.

Bernice Bing in her studio in North Beach in the early 60s… so cool-she was a queer beat painter. If you click on the painting it will take you to a facebook page by some people who are making a movie about her. Can’t WAIT to see it!

To be a Lady: Forty-Five Women in the Arts, on view at Norte Maar and the 1285 Ave of the Americas Art Gallery from Sept. 24, 2012 - Jan 18, 2013. A reception Mon., Sept. 24 from 6-8pm.

Curator Jason Andrew brings together forty-five artists born over the last century who happen to be women. Striking examples by historic protagonists, Alma Thomas, Louise Nevelson, Alice Neel, Lenore Tawney, Louise Bourgeois and Grace Hartigan set the stage for an exhibition designed to challenge and reshape the meaning of the word lady.

For centuries, the word lady has been a nuanced term for women prescribed by social mores. Politeness, good manners, correct attire, and behaving properly shaped what it meant to be a lady. To be considered as such was once the goal of every woman across the economic spectrum. At least, that’s what the men thought.

This exhibit looks excellent.
