WATCH | Tony Albert on Drawing From and Intervening with His Collection of ‘Aboriginalia’

One of Australia’s foremost contemporary artists with a longstanding interest in the cultural misrepresentation of Aboriginal people, Tony Albert, will present a solo presentation of new works at Melbourne Art Fair with Sullivan+Strumpf (Naarm/Melbourne, Gadigal Country/Sydney, Singapore). Titled Reclamation, Tony draws on his collection of ‘Aboriginalia’: domestic and tourist artefacts that include images of Aboriginal people, their cultural objects and designs. Speaking with Melbourne Art Fair, he gives insight into how he started his vast collection, how he intervenes with the objects through his art, and what we might expect to see at the Fair.
