Brook Andrew’s ‘Travelling Colony’ took over the studio in the last throws of last year in preparation for the Sydney Festival.
Brook consistently treats us with his projects; printing rooms full of ‘ancestral’ deck chairs, four metre soft trees, enormous scale screen prints, and this time performance costumes for a travelling colony – from Strong Men to Pole Dancers.
Well done to the lucky ones that managed to catch the performance in Sydney, Marina was there and loved the spectacle of the projections.
With Colony Brook conjures up an elegant way to give perspective on the our tough colonial heritage. This time looking at travelling exhibitions of ‘natives’ during the height of the empire.
It’s a delight to be involved in these critical discussions.
Brook Andrew’s Caravans will be at the Carriage Works until March 5th.
