Indigenous motivations
Recent acquisitions from the National Museum of the American Indian
review by Craig Wilcox
Modest in size and mood, the recent Indigenous Motivations exhibition barely competed for the attention of the millions who cram into New York's museums each year. But it deserved attention for carrying out an ambitious brief in a difficult space, and for how it interpreted indigenous creativity.

This travelling exhibition leaves no doubt that camels, cameleers and Australia's first Muslim community helped shape Australia's outback.

review by Jim Davidson
This exhibition at the National Gallery of Australia is the first extensive retrospective exhibition since Lambert's death almost 80 years ago, and is strikingly comprehensive.
