Archie Moore 1970-2018
Edited by Linda Michael and Hilary Dickson
Griffith University Art Museum
A concise monograph accompanying the exhibition ‘Archie Moore: 1970-2018’ at Griffith University Art Museum, which showcased a newly-commissioned work exploring personal and transgenerational memory. Featuring a preface and essay by Curator Angela Goddard, a ‘Welcome’ by Moore, essay by Dr Toni Ross and interview with the artist by Steve Dow, the book charts Moore’s ‘constant attention to the junctures between Indigenous and non-Indigenous subjectivity’ and his focus on the ’emotive and disorienting potential of objects and architectural spaces as markers of place and identity.’ Colour images of the vast multi-room installation visualise the artist’s sensitive engagement with materiality and memory.
