Stop [the] Gap: International Indigenous Art in Motion - University of South Australia

24 February - 21 April 2011, Samstag Museum of Art, University of South Australia, 55 North Terrace, Adelaide.

Some of the most provocative and illuminating moving image work today is being created by Indigenous new media artists -- yet there has been no major international focus on this work until now.

Stop(the)Gap is a major international Indigenous moving image project, developed for the 2011 BigPond Adelaide Film Festival in partnership with the Samstag Museum of Art. Curator Brenda L Croft brings together recent works by renowned Indigenous artists from Australia, Aotearoa/New Zealand, Canada and the USA, to challenge global preconceptions of contemporary international Indigenous expression.

Stop(the)Gap explores the fertile ground between cinema and the visual arts. The exhibition is accompanied by a complementary program of: moving image exhibitions, film screenings, outdoor projections and forums, presented across various Adelaide venues.

In this video we interview Brenda L Croft (Gurindji/Malgnin/Mudpurra peoples), Kathleen Ash-Milby (Navajo), Alan Michelson (Six Nations Mohawk Turtle Clan) and David Garneau (Métis people).

RISD (Rhode Island School of Design) Professional Development Fund assisted the travel for Alan Michelson to Australia.
