This is Bell’s first solo exhibition in Western Australia and will feature a recreation of the original Aboriginal Tent Embassy, the protest camp set up in 1972 under a beach umbrella on the lawns of Parliament House in Canberra.
This significant solo exhibition presented by PICA and Perth Festival will also bring together a previously unseen selection of Bell’s highly acclaimed paintings and a controversial trilogy of recent videos. For over 20 years Bell has been an artist and active provocateur who has challenged the state of art and politics in Australia.
