THE KANPI CAR SHOW: a special exhibition by the Baker family and related artists of Tjungu Palya to raise funds for a 4WD for ceremonial purposes
McCulloch & McCulloch @ Salt Contemporary, March 5–25, 2012
NINE artists of the tiny Indigenous-owned Pitjantjatjara homeland community of Kanpi in South Australia’s far north-west have spent the summer months painting a selection of very special works with the aim of raising enough money for the purchase of a top-of-the-range 4WD to be used specifically for ceremonial journeys.
All members of one extended family, the artists – Marita Baker, Kay Baker, Ruth Fatt, David Miller, Teresa Baker, Milpati Baker, Maureen Baker, Kani Patricia Tunkin and Anton Baker – work with the arts centre Tjungu Palya, based at Nyapari, 15 k from their tiny community.

The first exhibition in Singapore of exceptional young artists from the Kimberley in Australia, Lloyd Kwilla and Claude Carter. The works are painted with pure ochre and showcase not only the important artistic traditions of the Kimberley but the artists' own distinctive iconography and subtle crafting of natural pigments. Both Kwilla and Carter demonstrate prodigious talent as well as serious commitment to both maintaining the culture in which they were raised and proudly presenting that culture to others. They are two of the region’s most notable rising stars, who have held successful exhibitions over Australia, and Lloyd Kwilla in London. Jumuwarnti and Goonboorooru – Waterholes and Caves will be held in conjunction with a public education programme featuring talks by the artists, Susan McCulloch OAM and Kevin Kelly of Red Rock Art.
