Desert Psychedelic: Jimmy Pike
Rockhampton, Rockhampton Area

12 July - 18 August

Description

An Artisan travelling exhibition, toured by Museum & Gallery Services Queensland

Produced at the height of the Indigenous cultural renaissance, Jimmy Pike's designs were vivid, dynamic and groundbreaking in their use of non-traditional colours. Due to his collaboration with the company, Desert Designs, they exploded onto an international stage via high-fashion garments, textiles and furnishings, and represented one of the most successful forays into the intersecting territories of Indigenous art, craft and commercial design to date.

This exhibition, featuring Pike's original prints, textile lengths and the garments produced from his fabric designs, offers a chance to celebrate Jimmy Pike's unique talent and to revisit some spectacular fashion from the eighties. This exhibition is supported by Visions of Australia, an Australian Government program supporting touring exhibitions by providing funding assistance for the development and touring of Australian cultural material across Australia.
