Writing a Painting
3 – 19 March
Part of the Adelaide Bank Festival of Arts 2006, Writing a Painting was a project of the South Australian School of Art exploring Australia’s relationship with China through recent work by locally based artists. The shared Chinese, Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal history of the City West site is explored in a related project in Fenn Place. This exhibition was curated Vivonne Thwaites and featured Hellen Fuller, Robin Best, Huang Xiuqian and Nyukana (Daisy) Barker.

The Colour of Safron
31 May – 22 June
In late 2005, a small group of lecturers from UniSA’s South Australian School of Art, Adelaide Centre for the Arts, and Adelaide Central School of Art, undertook studio residencies at the Sanskriti Kendra in New Delhi, India. This exhibition presented works made whilst the artists were in India and upon their return to Adelaide, in response to an intense period of cultural and creative exchange.
