Australia's Indigenous Art Triennial back on the calendar


After being put on the backburner twice, with National Gallery of Australia director Ron Radford pointing to "fiscal responsibility" as the reason for the last postponement, Australia's National Indigenous Art Triennial is back in the mix. The NGA has announced that the second Triennial, unDisclosed, will run from 11 May to 10 July 2012.

The theme of the Triennial alludes to the spoken and the unspoken, the known and the unknown, what can be revealed and what cannot, capturing the disclosed and the undisclosed embedded within the works in the exhibition. You can see the lineup of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists selected for the Triennial here.
