| What an achievement in the history of Australian art, as announced by Creative Australia. ‘Archie Moore’s exhibition kith and kin at the Australia Pavilion has been awarded the prestigious Golden Lion for Best National Participation at La Biennale de Venezia 2024. This is the first time in history an Australian artist has received this accolade.’ ‘In kith and kin, Moore transforms the Australia Pavilion with an expansive, genealogical chart spanning 65,000 years. kith and kin is curated by Ellie Buttrose and commissioned by Creative Australia. The artwork bridges the personal and the political. While many of the stories in kith and kinare specific to the artist’s family, they mirror narratives throughout the world. Through this lens Moore highlights our shared ancestry and humanity: through the interconnectedness of people, place and time.’ Congratulations to everyone involved in this incredible achievement. Meanwhile, back in Noosa… After a successful solo exhibition with Michael Whitehead, we have rehung the gallery and now have a fabulous, eclectic collection of works by our gallery artists. The G Contemporary and our artists have partnered with the McGrath Foundation to raise money to support individuals and families affected by Breast Cancer. 10% of all art sales between 8-16 May will be donated to our fundraiser. Don’t forget to purchase your raffle tickets… This is an excellent opportunity to win an iconic ‘Thunderbird Motel’ limited edition pigment reproduction by Steve Rosendale and a bespoke helicopter ride through the Sunshine Coast. You can purchase raffle tickets directly from us at the gallery or through the website here. The raffle will be drawn and the winners will be announced on Wednesday 8th May. |
