Our Week Scouted – May 24, 2019

Shane Pickett, “Wauyarag Windows Calling Bunuroo,” 2008. 

SEE

Experience Aboriginal art.  The Kluge-Ruhe Aboriginal Art Collection at UVa has a wonderful new exhibit, Shane Pickett: Djinong Djina Boodja (Look at the Land That I have Traveled). If you’re not familiar with them The Kluge-Ruhe, it is the , only museum outside of Australia dedicated to the exhibition and study of Indigenous Australian art and well worth the drive out to Pantops to view their collection. During Shane Pickett’s lifetime (1957-2010), he  was acclaimed as one of Western Australia’s most significant contemporary Aboriginal artists. Featuring 10 works from the most radical phase of his career, Djinong Djina Boodja (Look at the Land That I Have Traveled) is the first major exhibition of Pickett’s work in the US. Pickett’s paintings capture the transformations of the country near Perth in the southwest of Australia in ever-changing and innovative ways. Over the course of his three-decade career, Pickett developed a new visual language to represent the cornerstones of the culture of his Nyoongar people: the pathways of ancestors, traditional healing practices and places, and especially the six seasons used by Nyoongar people to divide the year. The exhibit is on view through September 8.

LEARN

The new meditation: mindful knitting. If you’re just not the type who is going to park it on a cushion and get zen for 20 minutes, then knitting might be just the thing for you. An article in The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday heralded knitting as the perfect activity for those of us who need a little self-control with putting down our phones and zoning out. To learn this new skill that will occupy you, and chill you out, check out Magpie Knits’s Beginner Knitting class on Saturday, May 25 from 2 - 4pm. You’ll learn the total beginner basics to get you on your way to knitting success. Call or pop by on the downtown mall to register.

Come for one or two lessons and stay to dance it out. Each week the lessons change, so check their Facebook page for updates. Up this Friday, May 23: Basic Foxtrot at 7:30 and Basic Swing at 8:15.
