Indonesia calling 2020
Presenting new works by 28 Indonesian artists made in response to the Covid-19 pandemic in their country. The title echoes Joris Ivens’ documentary Indonesia calling which depicted the actions of Australian trade unionists to block shipments of guns and ammunition to the Dutch colonial government fighting Indonesian independence in 1946. The exhibition hopes to parallel these historic efforts of concerned Australians to support the Indonesian people. Presented by the Australia Indonesia Art Forum, Indonesia calling 2020 is a partnership between 16albermarle Project Space, Project Eleven and Indo Art Link—entities that have worked to build connections between the arts and artists in Indonesia and Australia.

20/20: Shared Visions 40 years of Contemporary Australian Art
20/20: Shared Visions celebrates the success of Artbank as a government program that directly supports living Australian artists in its 40th year of operation. Artbank has grown to be one of the largest and most diverse collections of contemporary Australian art in the world and the unique leasing scheme brings these works to the public in boardrooms, foyers and homes across the country. A dense web of connections stretches across the Artbank collection. The artworks held within our stores tell stories of familial connection, intergenerational inspiration, shared experiences and convictions and evolving practices. This exhibition presents 20 pairs of works that illuminate these relationships and illustrate the wonderfully diverse landscape of Australian contemporary art.
As the title implies, 20/20 celebrates the great vision and foresight shown in establishing a sustainable artistic support program, which has culminated in the development of a significant collection that tells the story of Australians and their art from 1980 to 2020.
