‘Let Us Entertain You’ . . . Insight into the Pottery of Hermannsburg CALOUNDRA Regional Gallery welcomes INSIGHT, a vibrant exhibition of ceramic art, from 17 April to 26 May 2013. The exhibition is produced by a group of unique and talented artists, celebrating the diversity of art practice taking place in contemporary Indigenous communities. The Aranda people from Hermannsburg, a former Lutheran mission about 130km west of Alice Springs, are generally known for their Namatjira-style watercolours. Since 1980, the Hermannsburg Potters have been producing a vibrant and highly original form of ceramic art that draws on many influences yet strongly reflects the distinctive visual culture of the region. The potters embrace yet reinterpret all these influences and traditions in their own painted ceramics. The pots are made by the coil method with hand-moulded figures of animals or bush tucker or historical themes on the lids. The artists paint their country
as seamless landscapes around the fullbellied forms of the container pots, each of which is guarded by a desert animal or another creature. The collection features works by Irene MbitjanaEntata, Carol PanangkaRontji, Judith PungkartaInkamala, Clara NgalaInkamala, Ester Ngala Kennedy, Lindy PanangkaRontji, Rona PanangkaRubuntja, Dawn Ngala Wheeler and RahelKngwarriaUngwanaka. INSIGHT is accompanied by a publication by Simon Turner, rich in images and stories of the pots and their creators. INSIGHT is a travelling exhibition developed by Moreton Bay Regional Council and Simon Turner, toured by Museum and Gallery Services Queensland. The exhibition will tour Australia until the end of 2013. The Caloundra Regional Gallery is free to the public and open, Wednesday to Sunday, 10am to 4pm.
