what’s on october–december 2012
director’s welcome We Don’t Need A Map: A Martu Experience of the Western Desert is a major project we have developed in partnership with Martumili Artists and Kanyirninpa Jukurrpa in Newman, with substantial financial support from BHP Billiton Iron Ore. WDNAM breaks the confines of a western gallery in the way it represents the complex, holistic relationship the Martu have to land, stories and art making. The public program Martu Mob at FAC is a wonderful chance to see, hear and experience the Martu story in person. The incomparable Paul Kelly headlines our annual Sonic Sessions where the best Australian singer songwriters chat and jam with Lucky Oceans. Hilariously frank Denise Scott presents Regrets, her awardwinning stand-up comedy show for two nights only. Book early to save a seat! WAAPA’s graduate Link Dance Company premieres Diversify, with five Perth choreographers, in an intimate promenade performance through FAC’s grounds and buildings. FAC’s new ceramics studio with more space and new kilns will, I think, make our Learning Program students even happier. I hope we see you soon at FAC. Jim Cathcart Director

sat 17 November–suN 20 jaNuary opeNiNg fri 16 November | 6:30pm We don’t need a map brings the desert to the city to celebrate the lively and enduring culture of the Martu – the traditional owners of a vast area of WA’s Western Desert. This remarkable exhibition includes the work of more than 30 artists and is an exploration of the Martu people, their way of life, the way they care for country and belong to it. As well as illustrating the distinct contemporary visual language of the Martu, this landmark event breaks down barriers by bringing together Martu and other artists to collaborate and exhibit together. Featuring stunning paintings, cutting-edge new media collaborations, finely wrought objects, aerial desert photography, bush tucker and talks with the Martu artists and rangers, the exhibition and public program will surprise and inspire audiences. Co-curated by Erin Coates; FAC Exhibitions Coordinator, Kathleen Sorensen; Martu artist and Cultural Consultant and Gabrielle Sullivan; Martumili Artists Manager. This project is a partnership between FAC, Kanyirninpa Jukurrpa and Martumili Artists. It is made possible with support from BHP Billiton Iron Ore.

karlamilyi amy french & lily long Image: from left to right, Amy French, Kumpaya Girgirba, Miriam Atkins in front of, French and Long's, Karlamilyi (detail), 2011, acrylic on canvas
This enormous, gorgeous painting by sisters Amy French and Lily Long testifies to the vitality and diversity of indigenous painting in the Pilbara. Karlamilyi is a complex and layered work, brimming with knowledge about native animals and plants, journeys through country, ancestral beings, waterholes and landforms. French and Long's distinct visual language challenges notions of desert painting, blending figurative and abstract imagery to present an energised landscape that is filled with elements of the seen and unseen world. Writers and senior Martu translators worked with the artists to generate interpretative information about the stories and knowledge embedded in this significant painting. Karlamilyi is presented with an interpretive wall diagram and accompanied by recordings of French and Long singing.

cannnibal story: the paintings of yunkurra billy atkins as animation Image: Yunkurra Billy Atkins, Kumpupirntily (detail), 2007, acrylic on canvas, courtesy Kerry Stokes Collection, Perth
Kumpupirntily (Lake Disappointment) is beautiful and dangerous country; below its surface live powerful cannibal beings. This is Yunkurra Billy Atkins’ country, a senior Martu man, painter, carver and storyteller, whose striking paintings are brought to life by award-winning animator Sohan Ariel Hayes. Depicting armies of honey ants, goannas, Martu weaponry and cannibals descending upon Kumpupirntily, Cannibal Story gives sound and motion to Yunkurra’s wondrous, original paintings.

The Martu have a unique painting practice which is rapidly gaining international attention. More than 40 works have been selected for the exhibition, ranging from illustrative snapshots of ordinary daily life, such as camel hunts and desert football matches, to hypnotically beautiful paintings by senior artists.
These artworks are suffused with the Martu’s experience of the Western Desert and explore major sites, ancestral stories, land use, fire burning practices and life in these remote communities.

video installation: lynette wallworth
Revealing the humourous, colloquial and adaptable nature of communication across the vast Western Desert, The Phone Booth Project features a Pilbara phone booth, large-scale projections and multi-lingual dialogues.
Internationally acclaimed artist Lynette Wallworth is renowned for her immersive video installations. Invited by Martu artists to respond to country, the Sydney-based artist travelled to Martu country with community members and long time collaborator Pete Brundle to learn about the Martu.
Working collaboratively, Martu filmmaker Curtis Taylor and established Melbourne artist Lily Hibberd present a video installation which explores communication and the use of phone booths in the remote desert communities.

The resulting work draws viewers into an understanding of the Martu and their inextricable connection to the Western Desert, via the eyes and ears of a newcomer to that country.

Fremantle Festival 2012 once more takes over the galleries with a series of art events. Featuring selected festival artist Alessandra Rossi exhibiting her recent paintings, sculpture and installations. See Fremantle Festival program for more details.
23 November–9 December Big Sky 2012 | Jo Darvall (WA): Inspired by the majesty and intricate beauty of the Pilbara, Darvall’s new works capture and abstract the essence of the rugged north of WA. Remote sites located in arid, rocky terrain and vast empty landscapes prove to be both inspirational and unsettling. SOL I TU | Fabienne Nossiter (WA): Nossiter’s work revolves around identity, surroundings, readings, influences, magazines, newspapers and stories. This exploration is based on the use of patterns and stencilling wall papers to recreate texture and colour. Alter Ego | Sean Perse (WA): Exploring aspects of culture, the human condition and personal experience through paint, Perse presents the faces of his subject in dramatic light. He works the image to construct more meaning and divulge possible perceptions of the human condition.

14 December–6 jaNuary 2013 Nyree Taylor | Solo Exhibition (WA): An exhibition of paintings of domestic and the conventional still life images imbrued with a sense of the surreal and unworldly. Ross Potter | Solo Exhibition (WA): Ross Potter believes that the best way to capture the identity of buildings is to draw them with utmost simplicity, using only an HB pencil and artist’s eraser. He attempts to capture the slowly evolving, almost mobile, character of his subjects as they slowly decay, or are altered by those who inhabit them.
