Too Deadly: Ten Years of Tarnanthi

A major new exhibition celebrates Tarnanthi's first decade. Too Deadly: Ten Years of Tarnanthi assembles more than 200 diverse works of outstanding contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art seen in previous Tarnanthi Festivals. The exhibition both revisits key Tarnanthi works acquired by AGSA and revitalises them with fresh insights and unique dialogues with other works and across the Gallery. The exhibition features significant, memorable and favourite works, some of them conceived specifically for Tarnanthi. Several are monumental in their scale, others are immense in the cultural importance of the stories they tell. All reflect the creative vitality and adaptive genius of contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists. Too Deadly includes works from almost 200 artists. Among them are many acclaimed artists showcased in past Tarnanthi exhibitions, such as Yvonne Koolmatrie, Vincent Namatjira, Kaylene Whiskey, John Prince Siddon, Nyaparu (William) Gardiner, Nyunmiti Burton, Judith Inkamala, Angelina Karadada Boona, Iluwanti Ken, Tony Albert, Ricky Maynard, Motorbike Paddy Ngal, Mavis Ngallametta, Darrell Sibosado and Bugai Whyoulter. Alongside the exhibition, AGSA hosts artist and curator talks, guided tours, performances, film screenings, workshops and creative activities in The Studio. An award-winning Education program assists students and educators. Presented by the Art Gallery of South Australia with Principal Partner BHP and support from the Government of South Australia
