Fire-Works
gallery emerged as a commercial space in Brisbane in 1993 following
the success of Campfire group projects and consultancies- a collective
of Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists working collaboratively
in the studio since 1988.
As
our byline states, Aboriginal Art & Other Burning Issues,
our exhibitions convey a progressive attitude towards current
contemporary art practices striving for dynamic combinations often
involving both black and white perspectives. With respect to Aboriginal
culture, Fire-Works places a strong emphasis on the contemporary
rather than the ethnographic.
Fire-Works
gallery specialises in sourcing works from across Australia to
build unique private collections; and/or engage corporate and
curatorial consultancies, featuring contemporary works from established
and emerging Indigenous artists.
Projects
include residencies and cultural exchange programs: To help secure
and promote new and emerging artists, Fire-Works hosts the NEWflames
program of artist in residencies at our Campfire studios. This
enables selected artists to consolidate their careers in a guided
professional manner. The ARTdialog project is a culmination of
the networking with artists based in Austria via ARTStation Kollmitzberg
since 2001. This network was made possible with the extraordinary
success of DREAMTIME at Sammlung Essl, Vienna in 2001 and Spirit
& Vision in 2004 whereby Michael Eather, Director of Fire-Works
gallery was the guest curator for both
