The Bathroom Series Launch: Friday 4 March, 6-8pm The party is over, the glitter has shaken off. The Bathroom Series is emerging artist Tara McDonald’s post-party 3am self-capture from her bathtub. “The images represent the side of me that very few people see, a side of isolation, introspection and at times melancholy.” The Bathroom Series, a photographic-based installation including images screenprinted onto fabric, will show in the NCCA Boxset from 27 February to 26 March. Tara McDonald is an emerging artist working in photography and print. McDonald presents her work in the Boxset as part of her Highly Commended Award in the 2015 Art of Pride exhibition, Mayfair Gallery, Darwin, in association with the 2015 Darwin Pride Festival. 1/0

False Friends In Gallery 1, Archie Moore, curated by Dr Wes Hill. Considered one of Australia’s most inventive contemporary Indigenous artists, Archie Moore’s practice revolves around slippages in language and identity, often evoking the ways in which cultural context affects meaning. Born in Tara, Queensland, but based in Brisbane for most of his life, Moore has achieved widespread acclaim throughout Australia since graduating from Queensland University of Technology in 1998. His first solo exhibition in Darwin, False Friends will foreground Moore’s new media practice, and will involve the re-staging of earlier works alongside new works that have been specially made for the NCCA. Curated by Wes Hill, the exhibition will bring to light Moore’s interest in vacillating identities, with the artist directing his practice towards specific sociopolitical issues while shirking clear-cut resolutions. 1/0

Seven Sisters Seven Sisters is an installation of painted hubcaps in NCCA’s Boxset, referencing the ancestral sisters who are chased by Artwele, an old man also known as the Morning Star, or Kwerralye Pule. The artist writes: The Seven Sisters are really important to all the women of my family. They are really important to all the other women across Central Australia. I call them Peltharre Sisters – that’s Arrernte. It means the same as Napaljarri. You might have heard that word? That’s the Seven Sisters’ skin name … their section, all across Central Australia. A person’s skin tells them where they fit with everyone else. Anyway, the Seven Sisters got so tired of Artwele chasing them across the country that they jumped up into the sky to escape all the men who make trouble for women, just like him. But Artwele, he just jumped up after them and he’s still chasing those Seven Sisters up there in the sky. We see him every morning, still chasing them, poor things. Jane Young is an Arrernte artist who is based in Alice Springs and works through Tangentyere Artists for which she is a founding member (2005). She and her family were also founding members of Keringke Arts at Santa Teresa (from the late 1980s). Jane has been exhibiting through Tangentyere Artists since 2006, mostly in group exhibitions. She generally paints on recycled metal and plastic hubcaps as well as linen. ‘I like to paint the shimmering of the little rocks in the Simpson Desert’, writes Jane, which accounts for the dense patterning and detail of her paintings and recalls her childhood spent with her grandmother taking her to special places in country. Other subjects include landscapes and bush tucker from the region. Jane is currently the Chair of Desart. In 2011, Jane’s work was part of the Darwin Festival Lighthouse Commission. 1/0

Words will never hurt me Words will never hurt me (2014) is an installation-based work by Adelaide-based artist James Tylor. The work comprises video footage and three plum tree sticks inscribed with the word ‘Aboriginal’. The work draws on the primary school recollections of Tylor’s great grandmother, Grace (Campbell) Summers, who would get beaten around her legs with sticks by the white children and called ‘Aboriginal’. ‘It is such a strong oral story in our family’, writes Tylor, ‘because we can’t trace our Aboriginal ancestry back to a language group’. Tylor is a Masters (Visual Art) graduate from the South Australian School of Art, University of South Australia. His work explores Australia’s cultural representation through alternative photography mediums, sculpture, installation and video inspired by his multi-racial heritage involving Aboriginal, English and Maori-Australian ancestry. The showing of Words will never hurt me;in Darwin coincides with Tylor’s finalist representation in 2014 Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards. Tylor’s work features in Australian public and private collections; he is represented by Marshall Arts Gallery, SA; Vivien Anderson Gallery, VIC; and Paul McNamara Gallery, NZ. 1/0

home Exhibition opening Thursday 18 September, 6-8pm Mid-career artist Skye Raabe returns to Darwin for her solo exhibition home, in Gallery 2. An installation consisting of works on paper, text, photography and in-situ wall panel, home further extends Raabe’s investigation into interpretations of ‘site’, (loaded) space, absence contained within space, and forms of abstraction and temporality. home references the architectural and the performative within the architectural, continuing Raabe’s practice of combining media and her process as a conceptual artist, whilst paying homage to the materiality of her early-career works. home is an allusion to the constructed, the deconstructed, and the yet to be constructed; both a playful take on home as we know it, and a psychological entrée into the subtle and intangible. 1/0
