Evidence: Brook Andrew at Powerhouse Museum (Image courtesy MAAS)
Evidence: Brook Andrew is an immersive installation that draws on the rich and varied Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences collection to explore the theme of evidence. Brook Andrew is internationally recognised for his interdisciplinary practice that often interrogates knowledge systems, history, identity and race.
In Evidence, Andrew weaves together unexpected and perhaps overlooked objects and materials from the MAAS collection with specially commissioned artworks, suggesting different ways of interpreting objects and their history. Featured objects include Governor Macquarie’s chair, a ‘black box’ flight recorder, a Maralinga souvenir clock, a Brown Bess musket, a surgical table and colonial breastplates along with 19th century ethnographic photographs.
