Common Ground: Batchelor Institute & Charles Darwin University Art Collections To mark the launch of the Australian Centre for Indigenous Knowledges and Education on Casuarina Campus, Common Ground presents, for the first time, a joint exhibition in the CDU Art Gallery comprising more than 100 works of art by North Australian Indigenous artists, drawn from the permanent collections of Batchelor Institute of Indigenous Tertiary Education and Charles Darwin University (CDU). The exhibition comprises 56 paintings on linen/canvas and works on paper, wood and canvas board, from the Batchelor Institute Art Collection, dating principally from the early 1990s, when the Artists-in-Residence Program and the Collection were initiated. Works by Indigenous artists from Ngukurr, Lajamanu, the Daly River region (including Peppimenarti) and Borroloola (NT), as well as Fitzroy Crossing (WA), are represented. They are complemented by 50 works from the CDU Art Collection, chiefly limited edition prints, created by the same artists or those from the same regions and communities. Highlighting the significant role that visual art plays in the cultural life and livelihood of Indigenous Australians, and its capacity to deliver “both ways” education within tertiary institutions of learning, the exhibition connects two of the Northern Territory’s important collections of art in the CDU Art Gallery, where they meet for the first time on “common ground”. |
