Brook Andrew is an artist whose work has been exhibited internationally since 1996 and continues to engage with major international museums, research centers, and galleries. His practice critically examines dominant Western narratives, particularly colonialism, by placing Australia at the center of a global inquiry. He harnesses alternative narratives to build new understandings of the historical legacies of colonialism and modernist histories. Drawing inspiration from vernacular objects, he travels internationally to collaborate with communities and institutions. His interdisciplinary works encompass video, sculpture, photography, and immersive installations, offering viewers alternative ways of interpreting history. Noteworthy installations include 'Solid Memory Forgotten Plains Trash Obsessions,' created for the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, which reflects on the intertwined histories of Spanish, British, and Australian colonialism. Andrew has curated significant exhibitions like 'TABOO' at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney, and received the Smithsonian Artist Research Fellowship in 2017. His current research is part of a three-year Australian Research Council grant focusing on the representation and memorialization of Aboriginal loss during the frontier wars.
