STUDIO presents: In your house

Dwelling (Victorian Issue) (2022) at Gertrude Contemporary, is the fourth iteration of artist Archie Moore’s large-scale installation Dwelling. Archie (Kamilaroi/Bigambul) was born in Tara in 1970, 171 kilometres northwest of Toowoomba. He currently lives in Ngudooroo (Lamb Island) QLD where this conversation took place. Dwelling (Victorian Issue) is a recreation of Archie’s childhood home and considers ideas of archaic residue, time travel, constructed narratives, and memory. His practice is embedded in Aboriginal politics and the wider ramifications of racism.

The Tennant Creek Brio: Taking care of business

In the rapidly expanding literature on the Tennant Creek Brio, writers have touched upon a decidedly ‘masculine’ quality in the group’s work. John McDonald calls the Brio’s work ‘incredibly aggressive’ and ‘raw’ and ‘wild.’ Erica Izett, the Brio’s regular curator and greatest advocate, refers to their work as a form of insurgent ‘guerrilla theatre.’ These masculinist tendencies should be of little surprise. The Brio started in 2016 as an art therapy group as part of Strong Men, Strong Families through funding from the Anyinginyi Health Aboriginal Corporation facilitated by painter Rupert Betheras. It grew to have about twenty men involved before moving to the Nyinkka Nyunyu Art and Culture Centre in 2017, where it was declared an artist collective.
