Partners

McCulloch & McCulloch book & exhibition partnerships include some of Australia's leading public and private galleries, art centres, tertiary institutions and private collectors. We develop ranges of books & exhibitions that focus on the best of Australian art from across these different spheres.

The success of our book McCulloch’s Contemporary Aboriginal Art: the complete guide has led to us working with several partners in the field of Aboriginal art.

Partnership books have already been created with two art centres; Mornington Island Arts Centre & Kaltjiti Arts. These have resulted in two publications, The Heart of Everything: the art and artists of Mornington & Bentinck Islands and Painting the Song: Kaltjiti Artists of the sand dune country.

We work with the arts centres' representative galleries in the marketing and promotion of these books, available from us directly as well as through our trade distributor, Thames & Hudson.

Our partnerships with major art collectors has led to an extensive survey of Pat Corrigan's Aboriginal art collection, New Beginnings; Classic Paintings from the Corrigan Collection of 21st Century Aboriginal Art, and a survey of Ken Hinds' Aboriginal art collection; Across Country: selections from the Ken Hinds Cultural Collection, curated by Susan McCulloch for the Caloundra Regional Art Gallery.

In our partnerships with Australia's tertiary institutions we investigate their collections or the courses and programmes of art practice. These include the international projects of Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology's Department of Public Art, and its director Geoff Hogg who has created a unique programme which links Australia with China, South America and many other countries through the creation of important public art projects. This is currently being developed into a book to be published in early 2010 by M&M entitled Outer Site: International Art In Public Space from RMIT.

We have also created partnerships with funding bodies such as the Queensland Indigenous Arts Marketing Agency (QIAMEA). QIAMEA funded The Heart of Everything; the art and artists of Mornington & Bentinck Islands, and have commissioned us to publish in partnership the first Queensland Indigenous Art Diary for 2010 which will be launched at the inaugural Cairns Indigenous Art Fair in August, 2009.

As an extension of our practice, we develop exhibitions with some of Australia's leading public and private galleries.

Current and past projects include exhibitions and catalogues with Caloundra Regional Gallery and Salt Contemporary Art, with whom we have an ongoing curatorial practice focusing on high quality contemporary Indigenous art.
