In Remote Avant-Garde Jennifer Loureide Biddle models new and
emergent desert Aboriginal aesthetics as an art of survival. Since
2007, Australian government policy has targeted "remote" Australian
Aboriginal communities as at crisis level of delinquency and
dysfunction. Biddle asks how emergent art responds to national
emergency, from the creation of locally hunted grass sculptures to
biliterary acrylic witness paintings to stop-motion animation.
Following directly from the unprecedented success of the Western
Desert art movement, contemporary Aboriginal artists harness
traditions of experimentation to revivify at-risk vernacular
languages, maintain cultural heritage, and ensure place-based
practice of community initiative. Biddle shows how these new art
forms demand serious and sustained attention to the dense
complexities of sentient perception and the radical inseparability
of art from life. Taking shape on frontier boundaries and in zones
of intercultural imperative, Remote Avant-Garde presents Aboriginal
art "under occupation" in Australia today.
