UNTIL SUNDAY 7 NOVEMBERBATHURST REGIONAL ART GALLERY EXHIBITIONSLocation: Bathurst Regional Art Gallery, 70 - 78 Keppel StTime: Tuesday to Friday 10am - 5pm; Saturday & Sunday 10am - 2pm; Closed MondayCost: Free entryContact: 6333 6555Website: bathurstart.com.auMYALL CREEK AND BEYOND - On the afternoon of Sunday 10 June 1838, a group of eleven convicts and ex-convict stockmen led by a squatter, brutally slaughtered a group of twenty-eight Aboriginal men, women and children who were camped peacefully at the station of Myall Creek in the New England region. 180 years after these events a group of Indigenous contemporary artists created works which explore the issues and complexities of this significant historic event and its aftermath locally and nationally.Myall Creek and beyond was two years in development by the New England Regional Art Museum working with guest curator Bianca Beetson and features work by artists Robert Andrew, Fiona Foley, Julie Gough, Colin Isaacs, Jolea Isaacs, David and Tim Leha with Quarralia Knox, Laurie Nilsen, Judy Watson, Warraba Weatherall, as well as the Myall Creek Gathering Cloak made by members of the local community working with Carol McGregor.“The artists selected for this exhibition were chosen due to their ability to create work which deepens the conversation,” said Guest Curator Bianca Beetson. “All of them, in different ways, interrogate dialogues surrounding Aboriginal massacres, frontier wars and hidden histories, whether it’s through the artists creating work which responds to the place ‘Myall Creek’, or the artist’s broader response to issues surrounding Australia’s frontier history.”Myall Creek and beyond is a partnership between the New England Regional Art Museum and the Friends of Myall Creek Memorial and the touring exhibition has been supported by Visions of Australia.Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people should be aware that this exhibition contains images, and names of deceased persons. ANOTHER WORLD: COLIN FENN & KARIN SMITH - Bathurst based artists Colin Fenn and Karin Smith have been collaborating for over a decade, both working within sculpture and bronze casting. Each artist has developed their own unique style and approach to figurative bronze; an artistic tradition stretching back thousands of years.Beginning with an initial wax sculpture, the artists share a trip to a Sydney-based industrial foundry, where the sculpture is prepared for replication. The sculpture is first coated in a ceramic layer and the wax melted out, creating a ‘lost-wax’ mould into which the hot, liquid bronze is poured. Once cleaned up, the artists polish and sometimes patina the sculpture, by applying a chemical solution with a flame torch or applied as a cold liquid, to add colour and age to the metal.Fenn’s whimsical fantasy characters and intricately decorated armour are relics from an imaginary world, presenting a humorous interpretation of real-world mythology with elements of history.

continuned....In contrast, Smith’s expressive studies of the human form put her own twist on the tradition of classical figurative statues, instead choosing to depict casual, imperfect poses of ordinary people.Together, the human figures mingle with the mischievous creatures, creating a collision of worlds which allude to narratives and suggest conversations for the viewer’s interpretation.PADDY FORDHAM WAINBURRANGA: RECENT ACQUISITIONS - In 2020 Katherine Littlewood generously donated a selection of prints by Paddy Fordham Wainburranga to Bathurst Regional Art Gallery’s permanent collection through the Cultural Gifts Program. Paddy Fordham Wainburranga (1932 - 2006) was a dancer, painter, printmaker, sculptor of the Dhuwa moiety and Rembarrnga mythologies dreaming, born at Bandibu (or Bamdibu/ Bumdubu) (in Arnhem Land, the Northern Territory, Australia).Wainburranga’s painted and printed subject matter includes ancestral stories as well as political and social changes experienced, and incorporates iconography from both Aboriginal and European cultures. He painted, printed and sculpted spirit figures such as the Balangjangalan Spirit, an ancestral spirit, and Mimi Spirits.He began printmaking in the early 1990s. His planographic prints include lithographs and screen prints. Wainburranga’s prints were included in ground-breaking national and international exhibitions of the 1990s such as Tyerabarrbowaryaou: I Shall Never Become a White Man (Museum of Contemporary Art, 1992) and New Tracks Old Land: An Exhibition of Contemporary Prints from Aboriginal Australia (Aboriginal Arts Management Association, Sydney and Massachusetts College of Art, Boston, 1992).KARLA DICKENS: MOTHER’S LITTLE HELPERS - In February 2019, Lismore-based Wiradjuri artist Karla Dickens was invited to collaborate with Bruce Pascoe as part of a project called An Artist, A Farmer & a Scientist Walk into a Bar. The project was initiated by the Kandos School of Cultural Adaptation, an organisation committed to supporting creative practices that respond to cultural change across a broad range of disciplines. The work that Dickens and Pascoe produced, Mother’s Little Helpers, focused on the urgent need to protect and conserve the land and to cease the many destructive practices that are threatening our environment.Dickens’ first exhibited Mother’s Little Helpers at Brisbane’s Andrew Baker Art Dealer in 2019. She recently gifted the entire exhibition to Bathurst Regional Art Gallery under the Cultural Gifts Program.Of Mother’s Little Helpers, Dicksen wrote: “As Indigenous Australians we connect with County and refer to the planet as Mother Earth. Recently a small group of First Nation Adults and children from different parts of Australia gathered in Bingara NSW to creative a visual story. Our short film speaks of our concerns and the importance of healing ‘The Mother’ with the help of our youth, who are our future and our only hope. Known and respected for his great words Uncle Bruce Pascoe will not speak in this film - it is the as viewers responsibly to look hard, learn quick and listen deeply. What will you see? What act will you take?”
