Klappentext

Central Australia is an epicentre for creative energy, a place where artists are seduced, challenged and create ground-breaking artworks, where significant art movements are born, where art prizes are realised and the home of significant art collectors. It is unlike anywhere else and the art it motivates is a unique response to the energy of the place. Ground Swell: Araluen at 40 reflects on the four decades of the Araluen Arts Centre and its role as the key exhibiting, collecting and lending gallery on Arrernte Country in Mparntwe/Alice Springs. Curated around five guiding currents: catalyst, immersion, collision, divergence, surprise, the exhibition presents artworks from Araluen's extensive permanent Collection and artworks it holds on long-term loan. It brings into dialogue artworks by Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists that embody, engage, explore, challenge and pay homage to this ancient place: the country, its storis and peoples. Featuring artists of national significance from Central Australia and beyond, Ground Swell: Araluen at 40 illuminates the importance of this region in shaping, not only arts practice, but also how we, as a nation, see ourselves and understand this country. Located in the centre of the continent where diverse stories emerge, converge, disperse and move through country, the Araluen Arts Centre is unique in holding space for First Nations and non-Indigenous artists at this cultural interface, showcasing inspiring, provocative and transformative art in our nationally recognised art centre. This exciting exhibition is a celebration of the richness and depth of the Araluen Art Collection and the important role the Araluen Arts Centre has played and continues to play in collecting and exhibition art of this place in this place.
