CASSANDRA BIRD is pleased to announce that three Tennant Creek Brio artworks are now part of the collection of the Art Gallery of Western Australia in Perth, as part of the State Art Collection.
The acquired artworks were presented at CASSANDRA BIRD in the 'Gutful of Gold' exhibition in 2025. These works explore the weight of both the mythological and material histories of Tennant Creek, intertwined with the legacies of 20th-century global industrialism.
Tennant Creek Brio is a cross-cultural artist collective that fuses local histories, regional and global art influences, and First Nations perspectives. Their transformative creative energy reflects the collective’s name: a collaborative energy born of a frontier community’s resilience.
This significant institutional acquisition affirms the critical and material force of Tennant Creek Brio’s practice within national and international contemporary discourses.
