BLAK DOUGLAS (b. 1970, Blacktown, Australia) was born and raised on Booreberongal (Dharuk) Country but with a Dhungatti Aboriginal bloodline traceable to the mid-north coast of New South Wales. He was the first Koori artist to hold major solo exhibitions in Penrith, 1998-1999. His works are in the collection of the National Gallery of Australia, National Museum of Australia. National Maritime Museum, Taipei Museum and the Aboriginal Art Museum of Utrecht. Timing is Everything (2015) draws on traditional forms such as smoking / cleansing ceremonies and the changing walking pace of society via the rhythms of clap sticks. The sound intervening into both the gallery and 4A’s street frontage proposes alternate experiences in time, coupled with an LED sign displaying pertinent phrases from the artist.
