hold this auction and then the money

I think my art reflects my community and

711
00:50:23,530 --> 00:50:36,340
my art making is influenced from my

environment I started burning in a human

714
00:50:41,380 --> 00:50:48,150
have to burn it every year

spiritual aspects of healing and

721
00:51:10,030 --> 00:51:15,130
assertion of cultural practices is

00:51:12,130 --> 00:51:16,030

object

00:51:16,030 --> 00:51:22,440

00:51:50,790 --> 00:51:57,420

we didn't want Australia to look aloof

00:52:07,500 --> 00:52:13,290
and arrogant as a result of pursuing

738
00:52:10,350 --> 00:52:15,390
rather esoteric Western concerns that's

00:52:17,490 --> 00:52:23,069

the work operates it two levels

basically there's a personal level which

surface of the world and that's I think

760
00:53:09,630 --> 00:53:14,580
you know our perception of the world

761
00:53:11,460 --> 00:53:16,440
right now and particularly in the region

00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:23,220
undergoing enormous change very rapid

change in the case of the potaro sisters

from utopia you find a particular

reinvented and yet can be as relevant

770
00:53:36,180 --> 00:53:41,910
today as it was yesterday in the case of

771
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:44,940
Judy Watson there's a particular

identify again her Aboriginality and so

775
00:53:50,550 --> 00:53:54,720
in the case of Judy Watson and the

776
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:58,130
patate sisters you find one culture

777
00:53:54,720 --> 00:53:59,970
revealing itself in quite disparate ways

778
00:53:58,130 --> 00:54:02,970
when I make the photograph

779
00:53:59,970 --> 00:54:04,529
an image of the final picture where

780
00:54:02,970 --> 00:54:07,109
they're going to be like that grows out

00:54:04,530 --> 00:54:10,619
of the process of making which I then

respond to physically whether with my

work I was trying<font color="

position in relation to this history of

00:54:24,930 --> 00:54:29,580
the land where we now live you know four

788
00:54:27,599 --> 00:54:31,320
generation Australian so I don't feel

789
00:54:29,580 --> 00:54:34,160
any identity with anywhere else other

790
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:34,160
than Australia

791
00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:41,990
although host to the exhibition

00:54:41,990 --> 00:54:44,950
a rigid framework

00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:54,740
the in asia-pacific region is a

legitimate entity abroad from geography

796
00:54:54,740 --> 00:55:02,008
the other thing it's completely been

797
00:54:58,039 --> 00:55:06,180
disproved by this exhibition is the idea

798
00:55:02,009 --> 00:55:09,329
of Asia as a<font color="

800
00:55:09,329 --> 00:55:16,349
of the West Asia has no one homogeneous

interesting for many many countries in

807
00:55:33,180 --> 00:55:42,720
Europe America and Australia so Asian

808
00:55:37,349 --> 00:55:46,549
bandwagoning tend to become quite

809
00:55:42,720 --> 00:55:51,480
popular I think it is particularly

810
00:55:46,549 --> 00:55:56,849
important that Australia who might view

811
00:55:51,480 --> 00:56:01,160
have long time looking toward Europe

change make us a little nervous but

815
00:56:12,299 --> 00:56:19,009
anyway we are playing the game because

816
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:23,308
art and culture is now part of the
