Yiwarra Kuju Canning Stock Route exhibition

ETC’s Source Four Junior lighting fixtures were used extensively as part of the overhead rigging and lighting for the Yiwarra Kuju: Canning Stock Route exhibition.  

A landmark exhibition celebrating the lives and stories of Western Desert Aboriginal people, Yiwarra Kuju: Canning Stock Route was held at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre in October especially for CHOGM.  

The exhibition explored the impact of the 1750km stock route on Aboriginal people through an exciting and innovative blend of contemporary art, oral history, photography, film and interactive multimedia.  

Engaged to supply the overhead rigging and lighting systems for the exhibition, Clifton’s Perth purchased 72 ETC Source Four Junior lighting fixtures for maximum field-angle flexibility.

According to Ed Matthews, managing director of Clifton’s Perth, the ETC Source Four Junior lighting fixtures were selected mainly for their zoom capability in addition to a good compact size and a reasonable price.  

The zoom capability of the ETC Source Four Juniors was very useful as every piece of art in the exhibition had a different size and shape, and flexibility was needed in the zoom and focus to be able to cut-in and shutter-in each picture.  

The lighting system received great appreciation from visitors as well as the Perth art gallery.  

The exhibition also utilised some of Clifton’s existing ETC stock including eight ETC Source Four 15º-30º zoom lights and 8 ETC PARNels.  

ETC’s lighting products are available in Australia from Jands , a leading distributor of professional lighting systems as well as sound and staging equipment.
