note = "Exhibition was toured by The National Exhibition Touring Scheme, Victoria between 2014 and 2016 to: The Drill Hall Gallery, Australian National University Canberra, ACT; Cairns Regional Gallery, Qld; Tweed Regional Gallery, Murwillumbah, NSW, 17 April 2015 to 14 June 2015; Flinders University Art Museum, Adelaide, SA; LaTrobe Regional Gallery, Morwell, Vic. The world is not a foreign land presented the work of six significant Aboriginal artists from four distinct regions of northern Australia: the Tiwi Islands, South East Arnhem Land and the East and West Kimberley. The first iteration of the exhibition also included two historic Tiwi bark paintings by unknown artists from the collection of the South Australian Museum. Addressing questions of the circulation of Aboriginal images and practices in the contemporary art world, the exhibition marked a significant departure within the field of Indigenous contemporary art in Australia. Whereas many existing exhibitions focus on cultural or thematic content by way of regionally-specific survey, 'The world is not a foreign land' took a different approach. Audiences were asked to consider the categorisation of Indigenous practices within the broader art world, as well as the potential resonances and contrasts between different regions and traditions of art making. In addition, the exhibition marked the first time that the included artists had been exhibited together. The exhibition drew on a two-year period of research that included travel to various regions of northern Australia. It was accompanied by a significant full-colour exhibition catalogue, co-edited by Quentin Sprague and Joanna Bosse, that included two commissioned essays, a curatorial interview and detailed artist biographies. ; The world is not a foreign land ; Conference date: 06-03-2014 Through 13-07-2014",
