Here's more from ReDot:

ReDot Fine Art Gallery is honoured to host the first ever group show of works from Ernabella Arts, titled ‘Tjukurpa Mulapa’ (True Stories). Senior artists from this renowned community will showcase their talents in a spectacular show of colour and detail, bold dotting and subtle textures.

The oldest permanent settlement in the Anangu Pitjantjtjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) region of north-western South Australia, Ernabella, or Pukatja (440 kilometres south-west of Alice Springs), was established as a Presbyterian mission in 1933 and likewise in 1948, Ernabella Arts was founded laying claim to being the oldest indigenous art centre in Australia, now run by an executive committee consisting of six senior Anangu artists.

Ernabella Arts is the work place for some 70 artists of all ages, making strong, culturally important work for national and international exhibitions. With a history spanning the production of wool and ‘knick-knacks’ Ernabella became famous for the pioneering success of Ernabella batiks, which have been celebrated through the National Gallery of Victoria’s nationally touring exhibition ‘Raiki wara: long cloth from Aboriginal Australia and the Torres Strait’ (1998), and it’s more recent ‘Across the Desert: Aboriginal Batik from Central Australia’ in 2008/2009.

Ernabella art is in all major Australian state and national collections and overseas including the British Museum, the National Ethnographic Museum Osaka Japan, Edinburgh City Gallery etc. and artists have been winners and exhibitors in the annual NATSIAA, the Whyalla Santos Art Awards, Fremantle Print Awards.

The exhibition opens on Wednesday 25th July and runs till Saturday 1st September 2012. ReDot Fine Art Gallery invites anyone fascinated by indigenous art and captivated by the raw, tjukurpa-rich paintings of the senior men and women to join us for this amazing show.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
