𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘢: 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘨 𝘈𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘈𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘴 touring exhibition has officially launched and now on the road with M&G NSW.

The Museum of Contemporary Art Australia’s annual 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘢: 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘨 𝘈𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘈𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘴 exhibition showcases the work of Australian artists aged 35 years and under. In its 32nd year, 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘢 has been guest curated by Talia Smith, who considers what artists are creating to challenge society’s prescribed structures.

Through works of various media, including installation, video, painting, sculpture, mark-making and text, the six artists – Tiyan Baker (b. 1989, Garramilla/Darwin), Christopher Bassi (b. 1990, Meanjin/Brisbane), Moorina Bonini (b. 1996, Naarm/Melbourne), Nikki Lam (b. 1988, Hong Kong), Sarah Poulgrain (b. 1992, Thul Garrie Waja/Townsville) and Truc Truong (b. 1987, Tarndanya/Adelaide) – draw on their lived experience to disrupt the dynamics of power and deliver compelling alternatives to the status quo.

Dennis Golding | 𝘗𝘖𝘞𝘌𝘙 – 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘏𝘦𝘳𝘦 currently showing at Bondi Pavilion Art Gallery and touring nationally.

𝘗𝘖𝘞𝘌𝘙 – 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘏𝘦𝘳𝘦 is the result of a collaboration between artist Dennis Golding and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students from Alexandria Park Community School. Students from Kindergarten to Year 12 designed their superhero capes with iconography informed by their lived experiences and cultural identity.

As superheroes, Golding and his young collaborators are empowered and reminded of the strength of their culture in forming their identity and connection to Country. Individually and together, the capes critique social, political and cultural representations of contemporary First Nations experience.

A Solid Ground project with Dennis Golding and Alexandria Park Community School, curated by Kyra Kum-Sing, presented by Carriageworks and Blacktown Arts, and touring with Museums & Galleries of NSW.
