day 01. is proud to announce a new exhibition featuring recent work by Swedish-born, Sydney based artist, Ingvar Kenne, known for his photo based works. Alongside Tennant Creek Brio artist, Joseph Williams Jungarayi, a Warumungu man and artist of both Indigenous and Croatian ancestry.
.
After completing university in the early 1990s, Kenne set off on a global motorcycle journe that spanned two and a half years. That trip culminated in his second monograph ‘Chasin Summer’ and was the catalyst for his permanent migration to Australia. Now a Sydney local, he has many works as part of the permanent collection of The National Portrait Gallery in Canberra.
This recent work, an ongoing photographic series titled ‘a portrait of [country]’, continues for Kenne, as an exploration of abandonment as he experiences magical, often inaccessible and harrowing parts of the Land that still echo with their pre-colonial life.
“Joseph Williams, a founding member of the Tennant Creek Brio, an artist collective, which grew out of an art therapy-outreach program he helped establish in 2016, is an unlikely artist amongst the abstract punk expressionism group. Creating artworks in a frontier town with a double consciousness that mediates the double desires of Western and
Indigenous values and knowledge systems. Cultural duality plays into Williams’ own heritage, as he has a Warunmungu mother and Croatian father.”
This duality comes full circle to Kenne, residing and raising a family in an equally foreign land, Australia.
