Family: Artists From Utopia

The Rebecca Hossack Art Gallery presents Family: Artists from Utopia. 

In advance of the forthcoming retrospective of the pioneering Aboriginal artist, Emily Kam Kngwarrey, this historic survey exhibition brings together a collection of previously unseen works produced over the past three decades by artists from the remote Central Desert community of Utopia.

All the artists included in the show are connected by ties of blood and kinship. And the exhibition has been curated by Marc Gooch, nephew of Rodney Gooch, the community’s first art advisor, and one of the key figures in the cultural flowering of Utopia in the late 1980s and 90s. Marc was brought up as part of the Utopia community and has himself adoptive family- ties with all the artists included in the show.

Family: The Art-World of Utopia will include works by Dinny Kunoth Kemarre, Gladdy Kemarre, Katie Kemarre, Polly Kngale, Hazel Kngwarreye, Emily Kame Kngwarreye, Patrick Kunoth, Josie Kunoth Petyarre and Angelina Pwerle.
