Tony Albert is one of the most important indigenous artists working in Australia today. In light of recent world events, he reflects with long-time friend and National Gallery of Australia Program Manager Sally Brand on his latest exhibition, Duty of Care.
Albert’s work has always been in protest, seeking positivity in the face of adversity — but in late 2019, during his six week residency at Canberra Glassworks there is no way he could have known how the death of George Floyd would set America ablaze and ignite a call for change around the world. Albert doesn’t believe in chance - things "happen because they’re meant to happen" he says. Glass is neither solid or liquid, and these works are amorphous too — a powerful lens that brings this issue painfully into focus. A not-to-be-missed episode.
