Welcome Let the Glasshouse Regional Gallery inspire your creative Winter! Our winter season opens with the delightful and heart warming Operation

Art an exhibition by children for the Children’s Hospital at Westmead Hospital.

July celebrates Aboriginal art and culture with the poetic Being Tiwi, a touring exhibition from the Museum of Contemporary Art that brings together prints and paintings by nine artists from Australia’s Tiwi Islands. On the mezzanine level we have the vibrant Our culture, our

connections, our stories, an exhibition of new work by local Aboriginal artists that continues the Glasshouse Regional Gallery’s partnership with North Coast TAFE. Textile artist Meredith Woolnough returns to the Glasshouse in August with the exquisite exhibition Foliate, which features a selection recent work inspired by her residency at the Gallery in April. During her stay in Port Macquarie Meredith collected leaves and has created embroidered sculptural textile works that explore the robust beauty and the elegant fragility of the natural environment.

The winter creativity continues with the new workshop

BEING TIWI Being Tiwi brings together prints and paintings by nine artists from Australia’s Tiwi Islands.

OPENING

Islands are home to the Tiwi people – the fiercely independent, culturally unique, traditional owners of the land. ‘Tiwi’ loosely translates as ‘one people’, and island culture is characterised by a shared belief in the need to keep Tiwi customs alive.

The artworks in Being Tiwi highlight how contemporary ideas and visual forms connect to and express transformations in culture.

Tiwi motifs and designs (known as Jilamara) draw on a range of influences, the most important being the body painting which accompanies two significant Tiwi ceremonies: Kulama, which celebrates life, and Pukumani, a complex funereal ritual.

Bridging the past and the present, Being Tiwi includes the first prints produced on the islands in 1969 along with work recently acquired for the MCA Collection and new work commissioned specifically for the exhibition. From the intricate to the gestural, and using yellow, red and white ochres sourced from the islands’ environs, these artworks highlight the distinctiveness of Tiwi iconography.

Being Tiwi is organised and toured by the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia. The exhibition is supported by the Visions regional touring program, an Australian Government program aiming to improve access to cultural material for all Australians.

“

The language and the traditions of the Tiwi

are distinct, setting them apart from Aboriginal cultures on mainland Australia.”

“Art is an inextricable part of Tiwi culture.

Consequently, an understanding of Tiwi cultural traditions forms a basis for the appreciation and understanding of Tiwi art. Tiwi artists make decisions based on significant relationships to their country, dreaming and skin group. The islands are divided into countries inherited from the father. A Tiwi’s child dreaming or totem is also handed down by the father, while their skin group, which determines marriage lines is passed down by their mother.

Bare: Degrees of undress celebrates the candid, contrived, natural, sexy, ironic, beautiful, and fascinating in Australian portraiture that shows a bit of skin. Bare selects and remixes portraits from National Portrait Gallery collection around elements of nakedness. Fun and forthright, the exhibition will interrogate our instinctive, embedded and complex reactions to the bare.

Surprising

relationships

appear,

including

portraits of Australia’s greatest sportspeople and our foremost creative achievers.

Portraits of Billy Slater, Germaine Greer, Dame Edna Everage, Matthew Mitcham, David Gulpilil, Megan Gale and many others are on display. It is intriguing to explore the subtle but crucial differences between the naked and the nude, being dressed or undressed and seeing someone clothed or unclothed. Bare reflects on the decision to uncover part, or all, of the body in a portrait, which says as much about the self, personality, identity and character as a selection of clothing.

This exhibition is supported by the National Collecting Institutions Touring and Outreach Program, an Australian Government program aiming to improve access to the national collections for all Australians.

Our culture, our connections, our stories This exhibition continues a special partnership between North Coast TAFE, the Glasshouse Regional Gallery, Port Macquarie and local Aboriginal artists. It will feature work by artists: Isabell Moran, Angela Roberts, Maria Ritchie, Verqelle Fisher, Lisa Travers, Patricia McInherny, Casey Roberts, Ashley Roberts, Natasha Chatfield and Leah Bale.

Artists are all graduates of Aboriginal Cultural Arts courses at TAFE NSW Wauchope.

For this exhibition, the artists come together to enhance their skills in exhibition practice and explore their connections to cultural heritage and identity through individual works: paintings, weaving, batik; and their connections to community and to one another through two collaborative works.

Glasshouse Regional Gallery and TAFE NSW Wauchope acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we learn and work together, and commit to building relationships, respect and opportunities with Aboriginal people.

Entry to the Gallery is free.

In March 2017 textile artist Meredith Woolnough was the Glasshouse Artist in Residence.

Through a delicate system of tiny stitches she creates intricate and complex openwork compositions that are then carefully pinned in shadowboxes, just like preserved specimens.

Inspired by the patterns, structures and shapes found in the autumn leaves Meredith collected during her stay here in Port Macquarie. Woolnough's embroideries represent both the robust beauty and elegant fragility of life.

Woolnough is an internationally acclaimed, award-winning artist from Newcastle, Australia. Her work is held in public, private and corporate collections worldwide.

EXPERIMENTAL PRINTMAKING EVENING CLASSES with Wendy Stokes

Join Wendy each Wednesday for eight weeks exploring a range of experimental printmaking techniques.

I am both a participant and observer of the ocean and shoreline on a daily basis. What has brought me to making images are also experiences drawing from memory and the layered history of place. The printmaking process involves masking, scraping, layering, soaking and washing which parallel the fluid elements of place. I am also interested in the repeatable nature of print processes; facilitating exploration into the image possibilities of unique states. This method of working may also be viewed as an extension of drawing to work through ideas.

COLLECTION

SPOTLIGHT

Milton Budge Ngaku Born 1941, lives and works in Crecent Head ARTIST PROFILE...

Milton was born in1941 at Kempsey’s Burnt Bridge Mission.

His painting career began in the late 1980’s with the “Kempsey Koori Artist” group of which Robert Campbell Jnr. belonged.

His early paintings depicted life as he saw it on the mission.

His naive stylised figures and choice of pastel colours often worked at odds with the content; which in some cases was the harsh reality of mid 20th century mission life.

In 1989 Milton won the European Medium category of the Sixth National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards. His work has been used in the film “Deadly”, produced in 1993.

Milton has exhibited in regional galleries throughout NSW including Lismore, Wollongong and Armidale, at Boomalli Aboriginal Artists Co-operative and in exhibitions in commercial and private galleries throughout Australia.

Milton’s paintings are in the permanent collections of the National Gallery of Australia, the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory, the State Gallery of South Australia, Queensland Museum, Griffith University, Art Gallery of NSW and the Port Macquarie-Hastings Regional Gallery.
