TERMS is an exhibition of works by Tasmanian Aboriginal artists held in the Devonport Regional Gallery’s Permanent Collection and works on loan from Northern Tasmanian Aboriginal artists.
The works from the permanent collection were acquired over many years by past gallery directors, each with a different appreciation of art and ideology of what to acquire for the collection.
When art is included in a public collection it is exhibited at the gallery’s discretion and it can be selected frequently or rarely depending on the curators’ vision. Works are displayed alongside other makers’ which are foreign to one and another, creating new narratives and shown with or without the consent of the artists.
The art by local Tasmanian Aboriginal artists have been created and selected for this exhibition by the artists themselves, who are pleased to share their works and their stories with you on their TERMS.
This exhibition pays respects to all artists and their exhibited art and we thank the Devonport Gallery for their intent and practice of working with and supporting Tasmanian Aboriginal artists past, present and into the future.
