It is this sustained engagement with polemics and questioning of received ideas that inspired MAAS to invite Andrew to mine its collection and archives to develop the major installation Evidence: Brook Andrew, in response to the exhibition Disobedient Objects organised by the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.
Exhibition Dates: 31 October 2015 – 18 September 2016
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.
