Looking Forward, Looking Back with Lisa Reihana

Sue Kneebone and the tides that bind

Over the past two decades, Sue Kneebone’s practice has threaded together found materials and archival information to consider the impact of settler colonialism on the landscape of South Australia. Kneebone’s exhibition at Adelaide Central Gallery is a nod to her great-great-grandfather and the “trans-oceanic” legacies braided into his story.

The kimono is more than an artefact and more than clothing. It is a concept artists will make their own

Over 70 fabulous garments of exquisite craftsmanship – some made of silk with gold and silver embroidery and dazzling designs – have been assembled within a context of over 150 paintings, posters, wood block prints, magazines and decorative arts. Although many of the items have never been previously exhibited in Australia, most are now in the collection of the National Gallery of Victoria, with many specifically acquired for this exhibition.
