Future Foundations : Workshop /  by Wendy Murray

Future Foundations curated by Troppo Print Studio, celebrates the past, present and future of poster and print making. Bringing together Australian print collectives and individuals from foundational to contemporary practice, Future Foundations aims to empower viewers and participants to build, share and distribute their own ideas via print.

Within this intergenerational meeting of ideas, there will be space for collaboration of new work in reaction to Australia’s contemporary issues. Current and foundational works sit side-by-side to demonstrate that yesterday’s environmental, political and social problems are still proving relevant today, as history repeats itself.

Dobell Drawing Prize #21 /  by Wendy Murray

The National Art School in association with the Sir William Dobell Art Foundation presents an unparalleled celebration of drawing in Australia. This acquisitive award and major exhibition explores the enduring importance of drawing within contemporary art practice.

Every Building on the Redfern Strip, 2019
The Daily drawing series was first developed on residency at Hill End, NSW, in 2010. The Daily reflects the practice of drawing through alternative parameters; each is drawn plein air and must be completed within the day it is started. Over seven years, Murray has completed more than 300 drawings featuring towns and cities across Australia and North America. After three weeks documenting the Redfern area, her current neighbourhood, Murray composed a drawing reflecting the collective experience of the urban landscape and community. The artist acknowledges and pays respects to the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation as the traditional owners of this place we new call Sydney. Sovereignty was never ceded.
