Set within an immersive wall painting the installation, Ahy-kon-uh-klas-tik combines a trans-historical selection of works from the Van Abbemuseum’s collection, sculpture and assemblages by the artist, rarely seen documents and publications from the museum’s library as well as the artist’s own extensive archives that focus on popular and official documents relating to colonial and stereotyped agendas of the global south.
Exhibition Dates: 15 September – 31 December 2017
Brook Andrew’s research-based practice harnesses alternate narratives to assemble new directions of understanding historical legacies of colonialism and modernist histories. Andrew’s interdisciplinary practice challenges the limitations imposed by power structures, historical amnesia, stereotyping and complicity. Interweaving Wiradjuri language, collective memory, history and culture with museum intervention, Andrew recreates powerful contemporary images of Indigenous identity.
