Brook Andrew: Eye to Eye - Asialink Tour

Curator: Geraldine Barlow

The first major survey of the artist's work, Brook Andrew: Eye to Eye interrogates the politics of difference and, closely entwined, the implications of 'the gaze'. Eye to eye, across land and cultures, Andrew explores the promising and yet fractured grounds of our contemporary intercultural engagement. Reflecting equally on global mass media and traditional grass-roots aesthetics, the artist asks us to consider the construction of history and power, identity and invisibility; in black, white and many shades of grey.

Covering the scope of the artist's practice over the past decade this exhibition encompasses photography, printmaking, sculpture and neon installations. Deftly connecting aesthetics and polemics, Andrew creates striking and insightful works which neatly encapsulate complex conceptual and theoretical questions which emerge from lived experience.
