SYDNEY CONTEMPORARY ART FAIR 2025: Installation Contemporary

TENNANT CREEK BRIO

CASSANDRA BIRD is pleased to announce the Sydney premiere of a major sculptural work by the Tennant Creek Brio, to be exhibited for the first time in the city at this year's edition of Sydney Contemporary. The work will feature as part of Installation Contemporary, curated by José Da Silva, Director of UNSW Galleries.

UAP: Unidentified (Ab)original Phenomenon 2024 is a sculpture that takes the form of an Australian gothic guardian angel or petrochemical effigy. The work exemplifies the Brio's method of collage, assemblage, and creative creolisation with found objects and materials. It also highlights a critique of invasion, colonial extraction, capitalism, and the subsequent social, cultural, and political complexities and negotiations that stem from these.
