Maningrida Arts & Culture exhibition calendar for 2008
MAC is starting the year with a major exhibition at Annandale Gallery (Sydney) opening mid February with works by senior artists such John Mawurndjul, James Iyuna, Timothy Wulanjbirr and Terry Ngamandara. The exhibition also aims at presenting the next generation of Maningrida artists who are already producing magnificent artworks. This includes works by Joy Garlbin, Seymour Wulida, Debra Wurrkidj and Semeria Wurrkidj.
Several solo shows are planned for Maningrida artists this year: Anniebell Marrngamarrnga and Irenie Ngalinba at William Mora galleries (Melbourne) in May with recent works, Owen Yalandja with his fabulous yawkyawk spirits at Annandale Gallery in April and Ivan Namirrkki with bark paintings and hollow logs at Gallery Gabrielle Pizzi (Melbourne).
In May, at the African Muse Gallery in Paris, Mac will exhibit bark paintings by various artists including John Mawurndjul, Tommy Steele, Melba Gunjarrwanga and Hamish Karrkarrhba. This exhibition is kindly supported by NT Tourism.
MAC in association with William Mora Galleries will also present a selection of major works at the Melbourne Art Fair in August. It will be a very exciting opportunity to see recent works by the most renowned Maningrida artists.
Another rendez vous in August will be in Darwin with NATSIAA at the Museum and Art Gallery, the Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair (DAAF) at the convention centre and our annual show at our gallery in Darwin (MAC Darwin, 32 Mitchell street, Darwin city).
A major show of fibre art will be presented at Aboriginal & Pacific Arts (Sydney) with works by Frewa Bardaluna, Marina Murdilnga and Anniebell Marrngamarrnga at the end of year.
