Gooch’s Utopia: collected works from the Central Desert

29 November – 18 December 2009 and 12 January – 7 February 2010

Encompassing batik, paintings, works on paper, sculpture and other three dimensional objects, this travelling exhibition from the Flinders University Art Museum surveys the work of Anmatyerr and Alyawarr artists resident at the outstations of Utopia, a tract of land 240km north-east of Alice Springs, in the latter decades of the 20th Century. Featuring works drawn from the collections of the late Rodney Gooch (1949-2002) who had a significant impact on the artists and their communities in the Central Desert, the exhibited works reflect the intimate knowledge of the land, its flora and fauna and customary law associated with it.
