Art & Confrontation

Vernon Ah Kee’s conceptual text pieces, videos, photographs and drawings form a critique of Australian culture from the perspective of the Aboriginal experience of contemporary life. His most recent body of work responds to the Palm Island Riots through video, painting, drawing and text. Works from this series will be exhibited in the 2012 National Indigenous Triennale at the National Gallery of Australia and in Everything Falls Apart at Artspace in August.
