  • Sylvia Kanytjupai Ken, Tjungkara Ken & the Ken Sisters Collaborative
    Sylvia Kanytjupai Ken, Tjungkara Ken & the Ken Sisters Collaborative Seven Sisters: Kungkarangkalpa 24 August – 18 September 2021 The exhibition ‘Seven Sisters’ showcases the distinct artistic styles and visions of Sylvia Ken and Tjungkara Ken, two award-winning female indigenous artists, both at the forefront of contemporary painting in Australia. Alongside the work of Sylvia Ken and Tjungkara Ken, the exhibition also features large scale paintings by the renowned Ken Sisters Collaborative (Freda Brady, Sandra Ken, Tjungkara Ken, Maringka Tunkin and Yaritji Young). Based in the Amata community in the remote Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands of South Australia and painting at Tjala Arts, Sylvia and Tjungkara’s evocative paintings are a celebration of Anangu culture and connection to country alongside their individual expression of 'Tjukurpa'(ancestral knowledge and law). Sylvia and Tjungkara paint, in different but related ways, the Seven Sisters creation story, an ancestral narrative of the Pleiades constellations (the sisters) and a sinister man (Orion) who followed them across earth and sky. Both Sylvia and Tjungkara’s family are traditional owners of significant sites where the Seven Sisters story takes place with each painting referencing this story and the important sites within the vast landscape. These stories are the artists’ birthright and come with a responsibility to continue the passing of culture and knowledge to the next generation. “I listen to the old people’s stories and I think about these stories, and then ideas come for my paintings. I listen to my mother and father, to my grandmother and grandfather. I listen when they are talking about ‘Tjukurpa’ and telling creation stories and when they say to me ‘No, you should paint this way, the Seven Sisters’’.

  • Exhibiton Checklist
    FACE TO FACE An exhibition of portrait and figurative photography from the Albury Regional Art Gallery Collection 29 January – 6 March 2005 Face to Face brings together a selection of works from the extensive Albury Regional Art Gallery Collection of Australian photography that focuses on the human figure including formal and informal portraits and a variety of ideas expressed through narrative, composition and the many avenues available through photographic means. Since its beginnings in 1982, the collection has evolved into one of the finest photographic collections in the country. Seventy-five portrait and figurative works have been specially selected for exhibition at S.H. Ervin Gallery in Sydney. Following the establishment of the Gallery, a collection policy was adopted in 1982 and cited one of the major areas of focus to be Works on Paper, with an emphasis on Photography. To support this mission, the National Photographic Purchase Award was founded in 1983. Since 1999 the Albury Wodonga Regional Art Foundation has sponsored the Award, recognising the value of the collection and the enhanced reputation of the Art Gallery and its standing as a leading supporter of photographic practice in Australia. The National Photographic Purchase Award continues to be a major biennial event attracting artists from a national field and adding new works to the collection. Early purchases and gifts included important suites of work by Max Dupain, Harold Cazneaux, and the popular Siblings series by Robert Rosen. The collection now includes the work of David Moore, J.J. Voss, Brenda Croft, Destiny Deacon, Leah King Smith, Tracey Moffatt, Fiona Hall, Philip Quirk and many other important Australian photographers who have key works included in the exhibition.
