Two former Georges Mora Fellows, Brook Andrew (2013, with Trent Walter) and Ross Coulter (2010), will have their work exhibited at the National Gallery of Victoria in 2017.

Brook Andrew: The Right to Offend is Sacred

Brook Andrew’s exhibition presents his most memorable works, alongside formative works that have had limited exposure. It will also include new sculptural work which will draw on the artist’s extensive personal archive and respond to important themes in his practice that issue from and resonate in books, objects, photographs and postcards, newspapers and the media.

Ross Coulter: Audience

Audience is a photographic series that documents audience members who were photographed in more than seventy Melbourne galleries and museums between 2013 and 2016. Coulter invited members of the local art community to attend a photo-shoot and they were instructed to imagine viewing a performance art event. Drawing on the visual language of 1970s performance art documentation, the work constructs a photographic archive of audiences. As an installation, comprised of more than 400 photographs, the work is a form of performance for the camera, whilst also recording the appearance, dress and body language of various social groups at a particular moment in time.
