  • MUM SHIRL | BLACK SAINT OF PADDINGTON - Art Leven

    MUM SHIRL | BLACK SAINT OF PADDINGTON From 04 July to 27 July 2019 MUM SHIRL | BLACK SAINT OF PADDINGTON From 04 July to 27 July 2019 MUM SHIRL | BLACK SAINT OF PADDINGTON From 04 July to 27 July 2019 The exhibition of historic paintings by artist Gordon Syron and limited edition photographs by his wife and partner, Elaine Syron, celebrate the life of Coleen Shirley Perry Smith AM MBE, better known as Mum Shirl – Black Saint of Paddington. "It is now 21 years since Shirley Smith (Mum Shirl) died, and a fitting time to celebrate her extraordinary life. Mum Shirl is remembered as a straight talker with an astute ability to read people and an unwavering sense of justice. To those in need she was a woman of boundless compassion, courage and optimism, who had time for everyone. This exhibition has been curated to celebrate and to remember Mum Shirl's memory and many achievements. She is revered amongst Aboriginal people as the Black Saint of Paddington. Mum Shirl was a towering presence in Paddington. Not only because of her huge and commanding personality, ‘queenly’ confidence and physical presence. It was her energy and urgency of purpose in the service of people in need and the victims of injustice that defined her. She was seemingly intimidated by no-one and demanded the same attention from prison super-intendents, bishops and politicians as she did from the numerous homeless children who lived under her roof. She never gave any indication that she cared about her own needs: she was always moving, always generous, always available to others. Mum Shirl (Coleen Shirley Perry Smith), was born in 1921 at Erambie Mission near Cowra, New South Wales and lived there until her Grandfather was expelled from the mission when she was six. Because of her epilepsy, Shirley had no schooling… [and] could not read or write, but would talk at length about how she was ‘schooled’ in Aboriginal culture, language and precious knowledge, which needed to be passed onto everyone who would listen… She married young and moved to Kempsey to live with her husband’s family when she was pregnant but returned to Sydney as the local hospital was segregated. Though her daughter, Beatrice, and husband later returned to Kempsey, Shirley stayed and spent the remainder of her life in Sydney’s inner west, working mainly in Paddington, the hub of Aboriginal political activism. She settled in Paddington and joined the Catholic church where she met the legendary Father Ted Kennedy. Together they ran the Sunday morning service and often Mum Shirl would stand and tell, in detail, of a family getting evicted or in desperate need of assistance. With the help she enlisted she often assisted all sorts of people and children, never discriminating between black or white… Deeply immersed in the struggle for equal rights for Aboriginal people, Mum Shirl met regularly with young leaders and activists…She assisted the Police to settle disputes among families and groups and to calm down situations which could end in violence. Calls for help often came in the middle of the night and she was in such demand that she was put under great stress. Her work in the jails saw her involved in The Royal Commission into Prisons and later The Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody. Mum Shirl was given a State Funeral at St Mary's Cathedral in 1998. In November 1999, a year after her death and on the 78th anniversary of her birthday, an ordinary seat outside St Vincent’s church in Paddington Street, Paddington, was installed under a plaque on the church façade. The engraved-metal portrait of her has a text that reads: ‘In celebration of the life of Mum Shirl, the black saint of Paddington who gave aid and comfort to all who asked’. Today her spirit lives on in Paddington as brightly as it did during her lifetime and will do so for as long as the Aboriginal struggle for justice prevails. A woman of magisterial presence and influence, Shirley was, in her time, the most famous and well-known Indigenous figure in the inner-city. Her generosity and influence touched people, regardless of race, in Sydney, across New South Wales and throughout Australia."

From Wutunugurra (Epenarra) to Owairtilla (Canteen Creek), and Kulumindini (Elliott) to Tennant Creek, each artist brings their own distinctive style, yet all are unified by their own profound connections to Country, capturing the vivid blue skies, red earth, and vibrant flora of the region. 'Reclaimed' centres around an installation of paintings on discarded metal objects, remnants of the area’s mining industry. The artists transformed these items – previously only associated with the violation of their lands – into soft representations of Country, symbolic of survival and regeneration. “Originally it was just buckets, but given Tennant Creek’s history as a mining town, there are plenty of abandoned mine sites that are full of materials. That’s where we source our stuff.” Emerson Radisich, Visual Arts Director | Barkly Regional Arts The Barkly collective, representing over fifty artists from remote communities, celebrates cultural heritage and fosters unity within and across their communities. Through 'Reclaimed', we are honoured to showcase the diverse voices and talent of sixteen artists who invite us to share in the enduring beauty and significance of the Barkly Tableland Region, revealing how culture and land remain indivisible.

  • KITTY SIMON AND THE LADIES OF LAJAMANU | PADDINGTON - Art Leven

    KITTY SIMON AND THE LADIES OF LAJAMANU | PADDINGTON Location: Cooee Art Paddington From 06 March to 21 March 2020 Viewing Room KITTY SIMON AND THE LADIES OF LAJAMANU | PADDINGTON Artists: Kitty Napanangka Simon, Myra Herbert Nungurrayi, Lily Hargraves Nungurrayi & Lorna Fencer Napurrula From 06 March to 21 March 2020 Location: Cooee Art Paddington Kitty Simon is a dedicated artist with a distinctive, singular aesthetic. Painting in remote Aboriginal communities is part of a rich communal cultural life. The work of individual artists can never be considered in isolation. After an intimate association with the women artists of Lajamanu that is now more than 30 years old, we pay tribute to two of Lajamanu’s defining artistic forces and tribal elders, exhibiting their work alongside two of the women carrying and nurturing Warlpiri culture and community into the future. In this exhibition, Kitty Simon and the Ladies of Lajamanu, we will exhibit works by Kitty Simon Napanangka and Myra Herbert Nungurrayi, alongside a selection of works from the gallery archives by Lilly Hargraves Nungurrayi and Lorna Fencer Napurrula. Kitty Simon is a dedicated artist with a distinctive, singular aesthetic. Her paintings – at first denounced by senior men for straying too far from the traditional idiom – have excited discriminating curators and collectors since her first solo exhibition at Cooee Art in 2013, winning admirers both inside and outside her tight-knit Warlpiri community. This was to have been her third solo exhibition with Cooee, which has been her exclusive international agent since the beginning of her career – in partnership with the Warnayaka Art Centre, a haven for the artists in Lajamanu. Earlier this year, Cooee Art received the news that Kitty Napanangka Simon has been unable to complete the body of works required for her solo exhibition due to a health setback (requiring renal dialysis outside of her community) and continual ‘sorry business’. Lajamanu is about as isolated a township as you will find on the vast Australian continent: ten hours’ drive south of Darwin; eight hours north-west of Alice Springs; and eight hours south-east of Derby. About 1000 Warlpiri people were moved to this tiny, very isolated point in the north of the Warlpiri estate just after WWII. A number of extraordinary paintings were created here once the old men, deeply steeped in tradition, finally relented and recorded their ancient Warlpiri stories on canvas for the first time in the mid 1980s. Sublime, meditative, zen-like rain Dreamings by Abie Jangala; action paintings by Lorna Fencer, drawn from the epic battle between Yurmupa and Wapertali – the mythological Big and Little Bush Potato men; large ceremonial works full of life, colour and movement by Lilly Hargraves – these are just a taste of the free-wheeling Warlpiri aesthetic that has emerged here over the past 35 years. In Lajamanu, artistic expression is associated intimately with ceremonial life, celebrating birth, fertility, regeneration, and loss. Of these, loss is ever-present and especially poignant. Here, the ‘sorry camp’ can at times grow almost as big as the township itself. Especially in times when cultural custodians and revered elders pass away. The number of makeshift dwellings at the eastern-most border of the Lajamanu township continually swells and shrinks on the tides of misfortune. In the sorry camp, people live as they did for time immemorial: as desert nomads sleeping simply under the stars. The long nights are spent keening for those who have died. This is not a time or place to paint. Outside visitors are not welcome where the spirits run free. More than just personal loss, a culture and way of life is being mourned, a nomadic life of which outsiders are largely unaware. The success of an artist will often be felt throughout the whole community. Conversely, in these times of sorry business community will come together and bolster its struggling parts. In this exhibition, the women painters of Lajamanu, past and present, lift each other up. So we will wait a year for a solo exhibition by Kitty Napanangka Simon. And, for now, we give expression to the continuing legacy of Warlpiri culture that is easing the path through continual sorry business. VIEW CATALOGUE EX 197

    MULUYMULUY WIRRPANDA | BULWUTJA Solo exhibition of Muluymuluy Wirrpanda from the 15 September - 3 October 2020 From 15 September to 03 October 2020 Viewing Room MULUYMULUY WIRRPANDA | BULWUTJA From 15 September to 03 October 2020 Solo exhibition of Muluymuluy Wirrpanda from the 15 September - 3 October 2020 Muluymuluy was the young wife of Wakuthi Marawili, one of the oldest and most revered elders in Arnhem land. Known as Banbay, ”blind one”, because of his poor eyesight, Wakuthi passed away on 2005. Today his sons Djambawa (winner of the 2019 Testra Art Award) and Nuwandjall play a large role in the day to day management of the large Madarrpa clan homeland, Yilpara and Muluyumuluy works with them producing important Madarrpa clan paintings. Her sister Mulkun Wirrpanda is also a senior artist. Muluymuluy holds extensive knowledge of native plants of North East Arnhem Land and her artwork embodies this knowledge. Amongst the plant species represented in her works, are berries, yams and other edible species including Buwakul (native grape), Dilminyin (scaly ash), and Ganguri/Manmuna (long yam). Her bark paintings depict Bulwutja, which grows in and around the billabongs and swampy areas on Madarrpa land. The plants grow in clumps after the rains and are pulled out in clumps, cooked underground or on coals, then mashed into a blackish grey paste that is tasty and nutritious. This paste can also be baked into a bread.
