Grounded in Flux

14 April to 4 June 2021

Deakin University Art Gallery, Building FA, Melbourne Burwood Campus
New gallery hours: Tuesday–Friday 10am–12.30pm, 1.30–4pm. Free entry.

Held in collaboration with Deakin University Art Gallery, Grounded in Flux is a reflexive exhibition of the NIKERI Institute that celebrates the research strengths and community engagement of this important Deakin Institution. NIKERI (National Indigenous Knowledges, Education, Research and Innovation Institute) grew from the 33 year legacy of IKE (Institute of Koorie Education) and continues to be a leader in the teaching of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People through Deakin’s unique community-based learning model. Grounded in Flux includes a celebration of ‘Sovereign Threads’ drawn from the unique collection of Gary Foley, video installations celebrating the Institute, and a sandpit installation by Dr Tyson Yunkaporta.

Curated by Kiri Wicks, Rebecca Gerrett-Magee and Leanne Willis.

This statement outlines how Deakin University handles the personal information of artists whose works are held by the Deakin University Art Gallery.

Deakin University collects an artist's personal information for the primary purposes of acquisition of an art work, management and maintenance of the University's art collection and for the purposes of exhibiting, interpreting and promoting the art work, the artist and the Art Collection.

Means of Collection

Deakin may collect personal information from the artist directly during interactions with Deakin staff, most often staff of the Art Collection and Galleries Unit.

Use and Disclosure

An artist's personal information may be used by the Art Collection and Galleries Unit in the preparation of interpretive materials, and catalogues and promotional materials, all of which may be in print or online format. For these purposes, an artist's personal information may also be used by other operational units of Deakin (e.g. its Marketing Division)
