Exhibition #8: Goobalathaldin Dick Roughsey & Friends
Goobalathaldin Dick Roughsey (c1920-1985) was a Lardil artist and writer, children’s author, illustrator and a leading political figure in the early years of the Aboriginal Arts Board and Indigenous self-determination. This exhibition celebrates Goobalathaldin’s work across styles and temporalities which were the hallmark of his transcultural practice. It also features works by his peers and mentors - elder brother Lindsay Roughsey, lesser-known members of the Wellesley Island art movement and artists Percy ‘bush-pilot’ Trezise and Ray Crooke. Goobalathaldin’s artistic legacy is a bridge between cultures, from master-bark painters at Yirrkala and rock art galleries in Cape York to modernist landscape traditions of the mid-20th century, all put to the service of Lardil pictorial storytelling. The exhibition is a rare opportunity to view and acquire important artworks by Roughsey and his fellow artists.

Eugenia Lim: The People’s Currency
This Lunar New Year, Eugenia Lim will present the performance The People’s Currency. Taking its name from Renminbi (China’s currency), the work explores the social impacts of globalisation upon those who seek their fortunes in the factories of China – or the ‘workshop of the world’. The People’s Currency turns Darling Harbour into ‘Renminconn’, a closed loop ‘special economic zone’. Dressed as a gold Mao-suited ‘Ambassador’, Lim will inhabit a factory printing counterfeit currency of her own design and act as floor manager to this ‘factory’ of workers. In exchange for basic menial work, the ‘employee’ will be remunerated in The People’s Currency.

Parallel Wanderings
Thomas C. Chung, WeiZen Ho, Karen Lee, Pamela Leung, Ruth Ju-Shih Li, Dapeng Liu, Jayanto Tan, Laurens Tan, Catherine Woo and Tianli Zu.
The Council curated exhibition Parallel Wanderings explores how contemporary Australian artists with Chinese cultural roots reinterpret and draw from Chinese landscape traditions, and present the notion of ‘landscape’ through the contemporary mediums of sculpture, photography, installation and performance art. Through their different mediums, this group of artists reflect on the importance of nature and their own personal connection to the natural world. As the parameters around contemporary art practices expand, the landscape genre continues to adapt with it, highlighting present-day issues, including climate change and urbanisation.
