Brook Andrew Named Among ArtReview’s Power 100 for the Fifth Time

5 Dec 2024

Congratulations to Brook Andrew, named in ArtReview’s Power 100 as one of the most influential people in the contemporary artworld for the fifth time.

ArtReview Magazine writes, “During this year’s Venice Biennale, the Wiradjuri/Ngunnawal artist, curator and researcher organised the Indigenous Visions conference, which featured contributions from artists and curators including Denilson Baniwa, Kimberley Moulton, Nicholas Galanin and Raphael Fonseca. The programme was organised as a collaboration between the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, where Andrew is adjunct curator, and the University of Melbourne, where he is ‘director of reimagining museums and collections’, and where he founded BLAK C.O.R.E., a collective driven by First Nations methodologies, research and cultural practice. Andrew continues as artistic associate of the Powerhouse Museum, Sydney, where he is curating a show on global Indigeneity in 2026. There was also a public lightwork for Footscray, a suburb of Melbourne, featuring Andrew’s trademark black-and-white Op-art patterning; and preparations are underway for a second architectural commission, next to Sydney Central station. Now represented by Sydney- and Singapore-based Ames Yavuz, he had a show earlier in the year at Frieze’s No. 9 Cork Street gallery in London, alongside Pinaree Sanpitak.”
