Billy Gruner and Graham Davis King

It was at MAP and West that Billy Gruner met Graham Davis King and began collaborating on the Gnurra Gnurra hut building, a subproject of work King has long titled Wantanganura. It is that idea that now underpins the current collaborative artwork presented at Kandos 2017. King states, ‘The works represent three concepts as one: the natural world, the environment and nature’s calendar, bringing people into the fourth dimensional universe, which is part of the Dreamtime or Marrathalpu’.

The Gnurra Gnurra is a collaboration between Graham Davis King (Indigenous artist), Craig Johnston (architect), and Billy Gruner (contemporary artist). It is a contemporary reconstruction of a traditional Indigenous hut. It is both a place to take shelter and engage with culture. As Davis King says, ‘The work represents three concepts as one: the natural world, the environment and nature’s calendar, bringing people into the fourth dimensional universe, which is part of the Dreamtime or Marrathalpu’. Performance: 10.40am and 2.40pm every day
