Cornerstone - La Pierre Angulaire
La galerie Aboriginal Signature Estrangin est fière de vous présenter l’exposition « Cornerstone », comme un hommage au monument invisible de la pensée développé par les Aborigènes d’Australie sur les pistes chantées du Temps du Rêve.
Le cœur de l’Australie recèle de trésors, des espaces immenses poudrés de rouge habités par des constructions rocheuses remarquables, bien plus nombreuses que l’emblématique rocher d’Uluru. Préservés de la curiosité de nos contemporains, et des convoitises humaines, ces terres et élévations épargnées et fermées au public illustrent et accompagnent les histoires du Temps du Rêve.
Elles ouvrent les chapitres d’un immense livre soumis à tous vents depuis la Création du monde.
Les élévations géologiques ici ou là ponctuent le récit. Elles offrent une beauté brute, intrinsèque, dans l’épure du modelage et geste sublime des ancêtres créateurs, dans les jeux des lumières invités, dans les perspectives infinies où se glisse le souffle des esprits.
Les blocs rocheux souvent arrondis en équilibre précaire sont les pierres angulaires du territoire, les éléments fondateurs de l’histoire, les traces indélébiles d’évènements épiques, et s’illustrent comme les lieux sacrés Aborigènes.

Etre invité à traverser leur territoire consiste à s’effacer pour tenter de ressentir l’invisible. L’ombre portée des histoires habite chaque espace et interstice, de l’immensité à l’infiniment petit dans les fissures de la roche, bien souvent le symbole du passage des ancêtres comme les Seven sisters conviées dans les peintures de cette nouvelle exposition avec les artistes de la communauté de Ninuku.

Leurs histoires sont les pierres angulaires de la culture, le ciment qui fonde leur société, le terreau qui embrasse l’avenir et cela depuis des milliers et milliers de générations.
Leurs histoires traversent la terre, empruntent les pistes, habitent les lieux, résonnent par les chants entonnés lors des cérémonies, ou pour annoncer son passage sans heurter les esprits sous-jacents dans le territoire.
Leurs histoires sont les pierres angulaires d’un immense monument de la pensée, construit autour des traces laissées dans une mémoire collective parmi les plus anciennes du monde.
Cette exposition avec la communauté de Ninuku se déroule au carrefour de nombreuses pistes chantées, véritable nœud signifiant au cœur du pays rouge.

En 2022, une peinture Ngintaka Wati de l’artiste David Miller, fut projetée sur l’Opéra de Sydney dans le cadre des commémorations de l’Australia Day, célébrant une histoire fameuse qui traverse le territoire de son père.
Nous sommes très honorés d’accueillir au sein de la galerie 25 œuvres remarquables réalisées par 6 artistes porteurs de la mémoire de leur peuple : Nyayati Stanley Young (1949), David Miller (1951), Samuel Miller (1966), Anyupa Nelson (1968), Angela Watson (1966), et Carol Young (1972). D’une génération à l’autre ils prennent le relais de cette œuvre partagée et continue, avec des individualités distinctes exprimées avec délicatesse sur la toile, chacun dans une révérence de l’histoire du Temps du Rêve dont ils ont la charge.
Nous nous réjouissons de vous accueillir au sein de la galerie à Bruxelles, dans notre espace de 250 m2 tout entier dédié à ces grands et petits trésors du bout du monde.

Explications pour cette œuvre :
I am painting a story my mother taught me. Mittunya Ngura, this is the country called Mittunya. My sister's country. This is a story about Kaliny-Kaliny(pa) (the honey grevillea). Wati Kutjara Wanampi (two male watersnakes), father and son, are living at Pukara, a waterhole in Western Australia south west of Irrunytju. Anangu tjuta, lot's of people, come to the rockhole for the sweet water and the father wanampi says "go back to your own country". The people leave and the father and son travel to Willuna where they camp for weeks. They return to Pukara and are sleeping when they hear a buzzing sound. Minyma Punpunpa the lady flies are making lots of noise as they buzz around the honey bush. Wati wanampi father and son get up and go to collect honey. It is there that the Wati Mututja (black ant) finds them and spears the Wati Wanampi son in the side. The young son starts vomiting, and he vomits up all different types of honey grevillea in yellows and orange. There is Kaliny-Kaliny(pa), Ultunkun(pa), Piruwa and Witjinti.

Minyma Kutjara (two women) travel from the otherside of Makura Piti heading north. The two sisters stop halfway near Wingellina. The younger one keeps looking back because she is homesick. The big sister said "why you looking back, why you crying? We are going long way." They travelled around all the different country. The younger sister realises that the older one is pregnant, she thinks how could that be there are no men. But there are men, sneaky men, and they camp with the older sister at night. This story is a women's and men's business story. The two girls keep travelling up past Docker River.

This is a major Tjukurpa for Irrunytju (Wingellina) and across the central Australian deserts. The seven sisters travelled from Kaliwarra to Wannan in Western Australia, stopping at significant sites and rockholes including Kuru Ala, a sacred place for women. They encountered a lustful man named Wati Nyiru, who chased them around the desert. Some of the details of this Tjukurpa (Dreaming story) are sacred and can’t be repeated.

Explications pour cette œuvre :
This is a story about Wati Ngintaka Tjukurpa (perentie lizard man creation story). That Wati Ngintaka (lizard man) heard the clapping sound of a beautiful grinding stone - a traditional tool used for grinding mai (food). He wanted that stone for himself, so he travelled from Arang’nga a long way east towards Wayatina, looking for the stone. He spotted Anangu tjuta (lots of Aboriginal people) at a camp. Some of the people gave him mai (food) in the form of a seed cake, but it was dry and he didn’t like it. Then one lady gave him delicious food and he knew that it had been made with seeds ground on the special grinding stone. He spied the grinding stone and stole it, hiding it in under his tail. When they all went hunting the next day, Wati Ngintaka stayed in camp, saying he had sore feet. Once they were gone, it was safe and he left, stealing the grinding stone. All the people were angry with the Wati Ngintaka and chased him. When they caught him they felt all over his body to see where he was hiding the grinding stone, but couldn’t find it. Wati Ngintaka held up his arms and claimed he didn’t have it, but they saw he was hiding it, wipungka (in his tail). They speared the Wati Ngintaka and retrieved the grinding stone. He passed away at a place called Aran’nga in the Northern Territory. Ngaltutjara (poor thing).

Wati Minu (a man called Minu) came from the west to Pipalytjara, he was a rainmaker. He hunted all the waru (black footed wallaby) and he got lots. The Patilpa people were hungry and went and stole all the fat Mala, leaving the skinny one's for Minu. Minu was angry at this and he made clouds and thunder. All the Patilpa were hiding in a cave, but the rain came and washed them all away. They became Chrysoprase a bright green rock that you can find in the hills surrounding Pipalyatjara.
