About

Yoi is an exhibition of works from the Munupi Arts & Crafts Association located along Melville Island’s north-western coastline, north of Darwin. It will feature paintings by nine Munupi artists.

Dancing, or ‘yoi’, plays a significant role in life on the Tiwi Islands. Narrative dances – a key feature of ritual activity – depict both everyday life and historically significant events. The natural ochres participants use to paint their bodies also adorns the canvases on display in Yoi. Often applied with a Pwoja Comb, the paintings possess a unique textural materiality, inherently abstract in form and thus free from a mimetic representation of reality.

Viewers are invited to delve deeper into the mark-making techniques of Tiwi Art, to explore the gestural energy and spirituality expressed in the paintings that make up Yoi.

Click here to watch an excerpt of Naina Sen’s Yoi, 2024 film which accompanies the artworks in the exhibition, contextualising the creative practices and processes of the artists, and the ceremonial and cultural origins of their work. 

Exhibiting artists:

Alison Puruntatameri, Arthur John Cowell, Carol Puruntatameri, Christine Puruntatameri, Delores Tipuamantumirri, Dorothy Noni Poantimului, Josephine Burak, Lucinda Puruntatameri, Simplicia Tipungwuti.

This exhibition is presented by JGM Gallery. We acknowledge the traditional owners and custodians of country throughout Australia and recognise their continuing connection to the land, waters and skies, often expressed through art. We pay our respects to artists, elders and community members past, present and future.

London Art Collective presents the 22nd London Design Festival exhibition, ART COLLECTIVE: From the One to the Many, at Saatchi Gallery, from 17 to 19 September. Curated by Nelson Qin, the Chief Curator of London Art Collective, and Joe Richards, the Guest Curator of the exhibition. This exhibition, taking place during the London Design Festival, explores the relationship between art collectives and individuals by showcasing the impact of collaborative work on society.

ART COLLECTIVE: From the One to the Many presented around ninety works by fifty artists from sixteen countries. It as a metaphor for the exhibition, reflects the diverse creation motivations and collectives featured in the exhibition, forming a cohesive whole. Moving between the four exhibition halls, the audience will encounter different animated bestiaries in artworks and the exhibition’s visual identities, which both visually and conceptually symbolise the intersection of individual creativity and collective imagination. By attributing unique features to these animals, they represent a wide range of artistic disciplines, genres, races, and national identities.

Contemporary Art Forum
As part of the exhibition ART COLLECTIVE: From the One to Many at the Saatchi Gallery, this forum will explore the concept of freedom as it manifests across various facets of the art world. The exhibition is inspired by the Surrealist practice of Exquisite Corpse, a collaborative method of creation that foregrounds the collective unconscious and the shared autonomy of the mind. Grounded in the Surrealist concept of “psychiatric autonomy,” the forum will examine how the notion of freedom continues to evolve and whether it remains achievable in contemporary artistic practice.
