Friday, 21 April 2023 - 10:00 am to 11:00 am

Beat the crowd and join us for a private curator's tour of MAG&M’s three thought-provoking autumn exhibitions:

Blak Douglas: Inverted Commoners - Gayamay (Manly Cove) is an exhibition of new work by visual and performing Dhungatti artist, Blak Douglas, who examines Gayamay (Manly Cove) as a site of First Contact. Ideas around place and displacement are explored, dissecting the narrative of Manly Cove from an Indigenous perspective. For this solo project, the artist will show film, paintings and sculptures to find connections to place as a platform for discussion and debate.

The MAG&M Art Wall facing Manly Cove will also be transformed by Blak Douglas to create a 24/7 public art piece, further embedding the project in this place.

Exhibition dates: 21 Apr – 30 Jul.

Cathe Stack: Connectivity - Country/Landscape is a persentation of the artist's PhD body of work. This multi-media exhibition explores the ways connectivity to shared landscape is shaped by differing knowledge-based systems. Sydney’s Middle Harbour is the focal point through which she investigates the shaping of landscape; ranging from ecological deep time, and the application of language/s, to the multiplicity of ways eco-social thinking is transforming contemporary engagement to and with landscape.

The exhibition encompasses innovative moulded timber and photographic applications, drawing and ceramics. A sound installation, assisted by Nicole Smede, a musician of Worimi and European descent, provides an auditory stimulus to the exhibition.

Exhibition dates: 21 April - 4 June.

JamFactory ICON Kunmanara Carroll: Ngaylu Nyanganyi Ngura Winki (I Can See All Those Places) is a major solo exhibition which showcases a significant body of Carroll’s final ceramic works and paintings as well as a tapestry produced by the Australian Tapestry Workshop. JamFactory’s annual ICON exhibition celebrates the achievements of South Australia’s most influential visual artists working in craft-based media.

Kunmanara (Pepai) Carroll (1950–2021) was a Luritja/Pintupi/Pitjantjatjara artist who worked at Ernabella Arts at Pukatja in the APY Lands. This exhibition is accompanied by a major monograph publication.

Exhibition dates: 21 April - 4 June.
