11.01.2022 Now showing in ‘Michael Cook: Undiscovered’. 17 August to 7 November 2020. Through My Eyes 2010 'Through My Eyes' is the first artwork Cook created after he left a 25-year career as a commercial photographer to become an artist, a move driven by a desire to explore his Aboriginal heritage. The idea for this work came from an image the artist saw in a fashion magazine that prompted him to think about experiencing the world differently, by looking through someone else’s eyes. ... In this series, Cook has reimagined the faces of Australia’s 27 prime ministers from 1901 to 2010. The artist has overlayed original photographs of the prime ministers with portraits the artist took of Aboriginal models from Cherbourg in Queensland and other places. By giving the faces of Australia’s former heads of government distinctly Aboriginal features, Cook is challenging us to look at the faces of Australia’s political leaders in a different way; through Indigenous eyes.

Over the last decade, Michael Cook has produced photo media works that interrogate the legacy of colonisation in Australia. The exhibition includes 'Majority Rule', on loan from the Monash University Collection. The series asks ‘what if Indigenous people were 96 per cent of the Australian population and non-Indigenous people defined as the four per cent?’... We’re open until 4pm today.

03.01.2022 This is the last day to catch 'Experimenta Make Sense' at USC Art Gallery. We're open until 4pm and parking is free! . . . Science currently theorises that approximately 85% of the universe, known as dark matter, is folded like an origami sheet. How might we imagine something that is not only invisible, but can only be inferred by mathematics? ‘The Folded Geometry of the Universe' attempts to make sense of nature through the study of folding and technology. According to recen...t theories of physics, the universe began when separate dimensions folded into one, resulting in the Big Bang. Expansion commenced instantly and space-time came into being. Using folding as its metaphor, the sculpture imagines the infinite shape of a continually expanding universe. . . .

01.01.2022 Now showing in ‘Michael Cook: Undiscovered’. 17 August to 7 November 2020. Michael Cook ‘Undiscovered’ 2010... Undiscovered is set on a shoreline looking out to sea referencing the first point of contact between Indigenous Australians and European explorers. In the series, the artist is reflecting on the false narrative of the ‘discovery’ of Australia by Captain James Cook in 1770 even though Aboriginal people had been living in Australia for tens of thousands of years. These images show an Aboriginal man dressed in British naval attire swapping roles with his colonisers. Australian native animals also appear as does the Union Jack and a tall sailing shipboth enduring symbols of colonisation and control. In the closing image of the series, Undiscovered #10, the man is absent and the Union Jack lies discarded on the beach. Cook playfully critiques the myth of the ‘discovery’ of Australia. The images speak to the strength and resilience of Indigenous Australians and prompt us to question who controls how the stories of our history are told.
