Genevieve Grieves wins Xstra Coal Emerging Indigenous Artist Award

In 2007, Genevieve Grieves was awarded the Xstra Coal Emerging Indigenous Art Award for her work Picturing the Old People, which will be presented as part of the 01SJ Biennial: Superlight at the San Jose Museum of Art.

The selection committee described Picturing the Old People as “an exquisite and thoughtful exploration by a contemporary Koori of the ways Aboriginal people were portrayed in the past”. The committee said about this work by Grieves: “This year’s winner has raised the bar for Aboriginal artists working in new media.”
