Produced in 2015 and editioned by the YPS with Basil Hall Editions, these prints celebrate the successful operation of a limited edition print space as part of the BukuLarraŋgay Mulka Art Centre in the remote North East Arnhem Land community, Yirrkala.  \nThe Revolution suite of etchings was initially exhibited at the outdoor Gupun Gallery, suspended from stringy bark trees as part of the Garma Festival in 2015, while simultaneously exhibited at Nomad Art, Darwin under the title Revolution.1 The term ‘revolution’ refers to the beginnings of the YPS back in May 1995 when the initiative to ‘seize the means of production into Yolŋu hands’was instigated. However, ‘revolution’ can also relate, albeit lyrically, to the continuous turning and rotation of the wheel of the printing press, since the inception of YPS.2  \nThe foundation of this ‘revolution’ was bubbling away long before 1995. Silk screen printing was taught at Dhupuma College as early as 1973 with students from North East Arnhem Land learning this technique from balanda teachers.3 An Australian National University Artist-in-Residence Program in 1978 resulted in Narritjin Maymuru (1916–1981) producing his first etchings.4 In 1982 woodblock printing began in Yirrkala. The success of this block printing medium was attributed to the use of ‘friendly technology’, hand tools and equipment that enabled artists to apply  \ntheir pre-existing skills in wood carving to this ‘new’ printing medium.5 Woodblock printing has remained enduring in Yirrkala (see Figure 1). During 1984, Banduk Marika also participated in an Artist-in-Residence program at the Canberra School of Art, after mastering linocut techniques and becoming an established visual artist.6 Engagement between Yolŋu artists, such as Naminapu Maymuru in 1990 with the Canberra School of Art, Studio One printmaking workshop also fostered experimentation with linocut techniques.7  \nThe CDU Art Collection is proud to be a repository for some of the prints created by Yirrkala artists over the past 20 years or more. The University’s Art Collection holds a diverse range of works on paper by Yirrkala artists including one of Banduk Marika’s early prints, Mawuka created in 1992 and acquired in 1995 (see Figure 2). This was the first print by a Yirrkala artist acquired by the CDU Art Collection.8 Mawuka depicts the Rirratjiŋu clan land at Dhambaliya, which is associated with mawuka (a yam-like tuber) that grows beneath the ground. The print depicts a mawuka and bulpul mawuka (the yam flowers) attached to lengths of bush strings. Men sing manikay (sacred clan songs), play bilma (clapsticks), and yidaki (didjeridoo) while other figures dance.9 This linocut is one of 59 limited edition prints that represent the creative output of 29 artists represented in the CDU Art Collection, all of whom have been associated with YPS and Buku-Larraŋay Mulka Art Centre. Other artworks in the medium of bark painting and a collection of small wood painted sculptures are also held in the Collection.10  \nAnother acquisition to the CDU Art Collection was a striking etching by Yananymul Yunupingu, created in 1998 entitled Dhatum (see Figure 3). This bold and graphic screen print displays a command by the artist of secondary colours, which the printmaking medium has allowed Yolŋu artists to explore. While ochres and natural colours have remained closely associated with the  \n2 / revolution suite  \nFigure. 1  \nUntitled  \nYalmay Marika-Yunupingu 2004  \nWoodblock of Hauri pine ply on Hahnemule paper  \n19.5 x 29.5cm [image]; 39.5 x 54cm [paper] Workshop proof; edition of 30  \nCollaborator Basil Hall  \nPublished by Yothu Yind","cbCaikxPjDba6Icr","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikxPjDba6Icr","pdf",1584902,36,"English","# Revolution suite\n## 20 years of print production at Yirrkala Print Space\n## Editioning, exhibition, and acquisition context\n## Origins and technical foundations\n## Key works held in the CDU Art Collection","[{\"question\":\"What does the Revolution suite of prints celebrate?\",\"answer\":\"It celebrates 20 years of print production at Yirrkala Print Space (YPS), documenting a limited edition print program connected to BukuLarraŋgay Mulka Art Centre.\"},{\"question\":\"When were the Revolution suite prints produced and editioned?\",\"answer\":\"The suite was produced in 2015 and editioned by YPS with Basil Hall Editions.\"},{\"question\":\"How did YPS’s early printing training influence later techniques?\",\"answer\":\"Silk screen printing was taught as early as 1973, and later developments in woodblock and linocut were shaped by skill transfer using tools described as “friendly technology,” alongside ongoing artist engagement and workshops.\"}]","Revolution suite - 20 years of printmaking | PDF",1789454128,55]
