Illuminate

Overview

We’ve talked before about bespoke Sydney printers. During Corroboree Sydney, the nine day celebration of all things indigenous, the Art Gallery of NSW is bringing small-scale printers from the town of Bonggabilla to town. And while they're here, they're making a house. Illuminate is a life-size, faux-mission-house built out of paper by Euraba Paper Company artists and lit by Sydney artist Jonathan Jones’ light work.

The Paper Company has a long history of art making, and for this project young people have interviewed their elders at Boggabilla and Toomelah, with the stories to be stamped onto the houses’ paper walls. If you like the idea of this outback, lofi printing, the artists from the Euraba Artists and Papermakers will be teaching you how it’s done in a free workshop at 2pm, Saturady November 16th. Or if you’d rather build your own paper house (and, honestly, who wouldn’t), on November 20th you can do that too.
