Heart of Country
|
Open until Sunday 12 June
The “heart” of this exhibition is the relationship to Country expressed in diverse and sometimes oblique ways by four generations of Indigenous artists from Arnhem Land and beyond. The collection musters compelling evidence that, alongside the clear continuity of tradition in bark painting, there is also an openness to innovation.

A window to our past
|
In 1969, at the end of a decade of political upheaval, the then Indonesian Ambassador to Australia, Raden Hidayat, presented ANU with a gift: a serene, almost life-sized bronze sculpture of a young woman reclining against her pedestal and engrossed in a book. The sculpture was entitled Saraswati, a depiction of the Hindu goddess of knowledge and learning of the same name.
Neat, composed and studious, Saraswati’s tranquil pose is augmented by her peaceful setting. In 1970, the sculpture was installed in a quiet pool by the entrance to the Chancelry, a setting designed by the University’s landscape designer at the time, J. M. Stevens.
