Artist Talk: Roger BallenSunday 6 April 11amFREE No booking requiredBorn in New York in 1950, and based in South Africafor the past 25 years, Roger Ballen produces some ofthe most confronting and thought-provoking imagesin contemporary photography. His early works focusedon people living in the stark poverty of rural SouthAfrican villages, while his more recent works are highlysubjective mind-scapes. Both strands of his work,however, challenge the border between the human andthe animal, between nature and culture. Each image isan unforgettable vision of the human condition.In celebration of this first Australian overview of hiswork, Roger Ballen will discuss his photography andhis artistic development – a ‘journey in search of alanguage’ – in a free floortalk within the exhibition.Brutal, Tender, Human, AnimalRoger Ballen PhotographyUntil 4 May 2008Part of the FotoFreo Festival 2008Family Day: WatercoloursSunday 6 July 10am – 3pmFREEA day filled with free water-themed fun andentertainment for the whole family!

Manyimportant works in the State Art Collection have eitherbeen acquired with bequest funds, or have beenbequeathed to the Gallery.A long standing interest in visual arts prompted the lateLeah Jane Cohen to leave the Gallery in excess of onemillion dollars. ‘Bequests are cherished and visionary’says Acting Director, Gary Dufour. ‘The Leah JaneCohen Bequest extends her lifetime of philanthropicsupport for the Art Gallery of Western Australia,creating a perpetual legacy that enriches two strengthsof the State Art Collection, Indigenous Art and Glass.Her gift will bring pleasure to generations of WesternAustralian now and in the future.’Two significant works of Nyoongar art – Calling for rain– The Wanyarang suite, 2007, and Yagan, 2006, haverecently been purchased with funds from the Leah JaneCohen bequest.Calling for rain – The Wanyarang suite by Shane Pickettis a majestic series of eight panels depicting theethereal qualities of Wanyarang (autumn), one of thesix Nyoongar seasons.Yagan by Julie Dowling is a portrait of courage in itsdepiction of the Nyoongar resistance fighter of thesame name. Yagan campaigned in and around thefledgling colony of Perth, during the early 1830s. He isdepicted here as a skilful warrior and leader, showing hisspear throwing prowess at a public tournament. Despiteplacing a price on Yagan’s head, authorities allowed himto compete and leave without arrest.Yagan celebrates unsung Indigenous heroes. It equallysymbolises Indigenous resistance and suffering, forYagan the man, was killed and beheaded in the name ofscience. Authorities knowingly transferred Yagan’s headto England, where it was initially displayed as a curiosity.In 1997, one hundred and sixty-four years after thebeheading, a group of Nyoongar Elders led byMr Ken Colbung, brought Yagan’s head home.Chair of the Art Gallery of Western AustraliaFoundation, Marlene Stafford, says ‘People from allwalks of life leave gifts both large and small to theGallery, recognising the important role we play in thecultural development of the community through theCollection, exhibitions, public programs and education.Leaving a gift in your Will is one way you can play a partin creating a legacy for the future at the Gallery.’For further information about the Foundation andhow to make a bequest please call 9492 6761or email foundation@artgallery.wa.gov.auleft Shane PickettCalling for rain –The Wanyarang suite (detail) 2007acrylic on canvas248 x 370 x 4 cm (overall)State Art Collection,Art Gallery of Western AustraliaPurchased through theLeah Jane Cohen Bequest, 2008right Julie DowlingYagan 2006acrylic and red ochre on canvas150 x 200 cmState Art Collection,Art Gallery of Western AustraliaPurchased through theLeah Jane Cohen Bequest, 2007
