Munguyhmunguyh (Forever): Celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the John W Kluge Injalak Commission (January 24 - April 5) presents 7 works painted with natural pigments on paper from Kunbarlanja in northern Australia, inspired by rock art in the region. Visiting Australian Indigenous artists Gabriel Maralngurra and Joe Guymala will attend the opening reception.
In September 1990, the American businessman and philanthropist John W. Kluge was approached with a proposal to commission forty-five works on paper by the leading artists of the newly formed Injalak Arts and Crafts Association. This would become Kluge’s second major commission of Indigenous Australian art and represented a critical turning point in the art of the region. Munguyhmunguyh (Forever) presents five works from Kluge's original commission, plus two newly commissioned works by the contemporary artists Joe Guymala and Gabriel Maralngurra.
