Adam Hill: Not a Proppa Aborigine
Mosman Municipal Council (3 other projects)
Aboriginal Cultural Development - Award Winner Division B
Adam Hill: Not a Proppa Aborigine is a mid career survey presenting a series of 25 works from over twelve years of the artist’s professional art practice. Hill is well known for his powerful works which are firmly located within the tradition of urban Aboriginal Art and engage directly with the political conditions of Australia’s contemporary Indigenous society. A central issue examined in the project is the notion of authenticity and what this means in the context of contemporary Indigenous society. Not a Proppa Aborigine is the first solo exhibition of an Aboriginal artist to be held at Mosman Art Gallery.
The project has been successful in promoting key Aboriginal cultural issues to new audiences, activating Mosman and Northern Sydney as a critical site for contemporary artmaking and providing a base for the on-going development and understanding of contemporary Aboriginal arts practices.
