Collection Focus // Indigenous Art
Collection Focus // Indigenous Art comes to no.10 following a season at the Holmes à Court Gallery at Vasse Felix. New works have been added to the show, including three fibre works recently acquired from Maningrida, three works from Warmun and a historical work from Martu country.
ABOUT
Since the early 1980’s, Janet Holmes à Court has been an avid collector of the art of the First Nations people of Australia. Collection Focus // Indigenous Art marks the first of a series of annual exhibitions focusing on specific aspects of the Janet Holmes à Court Collection. This year’s focus is First Nations art acquired over the last five years, representing seven language groups and fourteen artists. The works are derived from such regions as the Aṉangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (aka APY), Martu, Kimberley, Roebourne, Warburton, Irruntju, Noongar, Warmun and Yuendumu lands. The exhibition attests to an ongoing and wide-spanning interest in collecting indigenous art as the pre-eminent contemporary art of Australia

Unique States, exhibition view
Unique States
Unique States exhibition has been extended. This means you have even longer to catch it.
ABOUT
Unique States considers different states and the many meanings of the idea of the ‘unique state’. It refers to a print making technique, to states of being, societal and environmental states and to our geographical state. The past three years have launched humanity into ‘unique states’ and Western Australia has become even more of a ‘unique state’ because of its position apart from the rest of Australia and the world. Unique States presents political and environmental realities, as much as flights of fancy, taking viewers through a variety of unique states via the medium of print.

THE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO**
Next Week!!!
Mozart’s masterpiece is a politically-charged comedy of masters and servants trading places - a battle of wits and of the sexes - set to some the most glorious music ever written. Authority is challenged, loyalties are questioned and, in the end, love wins the day!
OpusWA will present some of WA's most exciting young vocal talent in these semi-staged performances at the Holmes à Court Gallery @ no.10. The OpusWA Arts Orchestra, conducted by Mark Coughlan, will bring this beautiful music to life.
