Wanapati Yunupiŋu has been in Taiwan this week as a featured artist in the first ever Tainan Art Biennale as a guest of visionary Director Gong Jow-Jiun. He has been having a ball with bullet trains, bubble tea, quail eggs, arcade games and celebrations for the animation of the Buddha. It was very special to form close friendships with Indigenous Taiwanese artists especially Rahic Talif and his wife. Curator Ko Chun-Ju fittingly selected his recycled engraved road signs embodying Gurtha, the Gumatj fire, for the Regenerative Circuit component of the Biennale. The fire burns away artifice, renews the land and warms us.
What a wonderful experience to share with artists from across the globe in such a delightful city as Tainan 🔶🔥🔶

Titled "Gäna," meaning “self,” this work is a conceptual self-portrait that reflects Nyapanyapa Yunupiŋu’s intuitive style. After creating prints for over a decade, Yunupiŋu began painting on bark in 2007, when she was in her 60s.

Just two months left! Plan your visit to the once-in-a-lifetime "The Stars We Do Not See: Australian Indigenous Art" from .

So much fun hosting as she filmed with Wanapati Yunupingu. And no it is not an Australian version of Fake or Fortune

If you've been trying to call us over the last days and can't get through it's not because we still use our 1980s Commander system from Telecom Tim. The whole region is experiencing intermittent faults. Sorry 🙏

Get Repost App • Annandale Galleries Galay Ga Dhuway - Husband and Wife
Showing until 10 October

This exhibition of three husband-wife duos foregrounds the distinct artistic achievements of each individual, while sensitively acknowledging their connection, and the role of balance played within Yolŋu partnerships.

Exhibiting artists:
Djambawa Marawili AM & Liyawaday Wirrpanda
Gunybi Ganambarr & Lamangirra Gumana
Garawan Wanambi & Manini Gumana
In association with Buku-Larrŋgay Mulka

"A person from the Yirritja half of reality (moiety) must marry someone from the Dhuwa side
[...]
Whilst Djambawa paints fire crocodiles and lightning, Liyawaday paints butterflies, floodplains and brolgas. Gunybi's metal works draw on the rippling patterns of water-goannas splashing within the spring fringed by rushes. Lamangirra focusses on the ragged chop of the wind- driven waves as they hit the shore of Grindall Bay. Garawan paints the artesian water spilling out of the memorial pole placed over the font at low tide. His wife Manini shares a fascination with pastel-toned ochre admixtures but in a different palette and with a completely different narrative."
