INDIGENOUS ART AT THE AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL UNIVERSITY EDITIONS CLAUDETTE CHUBB AND NANCY SEVER 2009
EN ANGLAIS
DESCRIPTION:
The Australian National University (ANU) is a national institution described recently by Prime Minister kevin Rudd as ‘strategic endowment for the nation'.
That privilege com with multiple responsibilities : responsibility for teaching and research at the highest standard : responsability to engage with the community at several levels, particularly for providing expertise to the community as it needs knowledgeand understanding to help form décisions about its future ; responsibility to préserve important aspects of the nation's culture and to act as a custodian of that culture for future générations to see and to use in their scholarly pursuits.
One important aspect of any nation's culture is its art. For more than fifty years, the ANU has there fore built an art collection to reflect our culture and its various influences. It has become one of the best public art collections in the country.
A major element in the ANU collection is indigenous art - as it should be for the national university.
Our collection began during our earliest days: the renowned Australian anthropologist W.E.H. Stanner made important early collections of paintings from the Port Keats région, in particular, astonishing paintings from his friend the Murrinhpatha artist Nym Bandak in the late 1950s.
A former Chancellor of ANU, H.C. (Nugget) Coombs, was critical to the formation of the Aboriginal Arts Board of the Australia Council in 1973 which brought together two of his many interests while highlighting the need to fill a gap in our knowledge that had persisted up to that time.
Australia recognised the immense significance and diversity of Aboriginal art late in our history as a nation. Simply, the history and social contextof Aboriginal art were neglected areasof research -for too long. The ANU has sought to ensure that this situation is redressed so that, since the 1970s, the ANU has taken the lead in research and teaching in indigenous art. The Oxford Companion to Aboriginal Art and Culture, edited by Sylvia Kleinert and Margo Neale and produced by the Centre for Cross-Cultural Research of the ANU, has become the standard référence book on the subject.
The ANU has also played a leading rôle in the area of art practice. The Creative Arts Fellowships awarded to the artists Narritjin and Banapana Maymuru in 1978 were the first awarded to indigenous artists bv an Australian university. Subsequently, Fellowships have been awarded to a number of leading Indigenous artists. Our School of Art has plaved a pioneering role in the development of indigenous printmaking and in training indigenous undergraduate and doctoral students in the Visual arts.
As the custodian of an important part of Australia's cultural héritage, the ANU is committed to the care and development of this major collection and to making it more accessible to the broader community
This art is to be enjoyed and celebrated. l hope you do both.
