Why are these specific artworks the subject of this first
monograph? Produced in 2018, the sumptuous paintings, aa is the
Kulata Tjuta Kupi Kupi installation, are collaborative artworks.
They are reminiscent of the collaborative production process of art
in Aboriginal Australia. These major works, in which a variety of
Dreaming stories that define the region converge, form cornerstones
of the collection that lies at the heart of the Fondation Opale.
The Fondation Opale, and its founder and driving force Berengere
Primat, has a particularly strong and active relationship with the
art centres and the artists of that region of Australia. Several
journeys were made to the APY lands in Central Australia. Both
paintings, to which respectively several senior women and men
collaborated, were commissioned by Berengere Primat and the
painting process abundantly documented. These magisterial paintings
are testimony to the continuum of culture and intimate knowledge of
the land through art. Kupi Kupi, an iteration of the ongoing Kulata
Tjuta (many spears in the Pitjantjatjara language) initiated in
2010, is a contemporary and monumental art installation consisting
of 1500 spears. It is a metaphor for contemporary Anangu society
and the unpredictable direction in which it is moving. All these
artworks are testimony to the renewal and relevancy of Aboriginal
art in contemporary times. Text in English and French.
