“With an almost 40-year legacy as one of Sydney’s leading cultural institutions, we are thrilled to officially usher in a new era of innovative initiatives under the Arts and Cultural Exchange name,” said A.C.E. Executive Director Anne Loxley.
“As part of the work which led to the organisation’s change of name, we commissioned a review of our brand and customer value proposition and learnt that we are perceived as experienced, wise, and energised.”
“Due to this feedback and in celebration of the cutting-edge of contemporary art coming to A.C.E. as part of the 23rd Biennale of Sydney, we are pulling out all stops to offer Western Sydney a cracking arts party,” she said.
23rd Biennale of Sydney: rīvus at A.C.E. (4 March – 13 June 2022)
Open to the public from 4 March – 13 June 2022, A.C.E. will present a series of contemporary works by Dharug and International artists as part of the 23rd Biennale of Sydney, titled rīvus. rīvus at A.C.E. marks the organisation’s historic first time as an official presenting partner of the Biennale of Sydney.rīvus investigates the role of rivers, wetlands and other salt and freshwater ecosystems as dynamic living systems with varying degrees of political agency.
rīvus at A.C.E. will showcase:
1. Voice of the Burramatta 2022 by the Burramatta River and spoken by cultural practitioner, founder of Dharug Allies for Nura Alliance and the Chairperson of Dharug Strategic Management Group (DSMG) Julie Bukari (Webb). A powerful digital work exploring the sacred energy of the Parramatta River, known as Burramatta (where the eels lie down), where the freshwater meets the saltwater.
2. Ngalawan - We Live, We Remain by multidisciplinary artist Leanne Tobin who is of Irish and English and Aboriginal heritage descending from the Buruberong and Wumeli clans of the Dharug. This durational work will be presented in the Front Room at A.C.E.
3. Running of the Eels by Leanne Tobin, a new video work that remembers a time of great ceremony and strange migratory patterns. The eels lay down, awaiting a king tide and full moon.
