New Weave: Contemporary Approaches To The Traditions Of Weaving
6 FEBRUARY – 29 MARCH 2014
Almost 37,500 people flocked to see the Australian Exhibition at the 2nd International Triennale of Kogei (Craft) at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art in Kanazawa, Japan. Curated by Steven Pozel and Lisa Cahill, this exhibition included 36 works by 20 Indigenous artists. The collection represents many of the artists and communities who have taken part in Object’s exhibitions over the past decade.
Artists included: Danie Mellor; Lorraine Connelly-Northey; Lola Greeno; Regina Wilson; Megan Yunipingu; Sharon Djalambarr; Judy Manany; Mavis Warrngilna Ganambarr; Anne Dixon; Eunice Yunurupa Porter Warakurna; Ruby Gubiyarrawuy Guyula; Penny Milingu Wanapuyngu; Lucy Malirrimurruwuy Wanapuyngu; Nellie Nambayana; Florence Minyjway Ashley; Linda Minawala Bidingal; Roseanne Maywada Malibirr; Mary Jinguwaraba; Susan Balbunga and Noreen Maday Ashley.
New Weave pushes the boundaries of the woven form: artists and designers re-appropriating traditional weaving techniques, using different materials to create intricate and striking wearables, objects and installations. From the sculptural fibre vessels of Lorraine Connelly-Northey to Jenni Kemarre Martiniello’s work in glass, to other works in wood, textiles and paper, weaving will leap off the loom and into the future.
Curated by guest curator Lisa Cahill (who co-curated the Australian component of the Triennale of Craft in Kanazawa, Japan for Object) and Object’s own Carrie Mulford, New Weave explores the common language of weaving, showing how it can be used to create new forms by hand that are produced in different ways using collaboration, technology and methods of manufacturing.
Featuring the work of: Alana Clifton-Cunningham, Lorraine Connelly-Northey, Edward Linacre, Jenni Kemarre Martiniello, Rachel Park and from Courtesy of the Artist, Pennie Jagiello and Bin Dixon Ward.
