Brook Andrew

Brook Andrew is a conceptually driven artist who challenges cultural and historical perception, using installation, text and image to comment on local and global issues regarding race, consumerism and history. His recent inflatable artworks Jumping Castle War Memorial for the 17th Biennale of Sydney, and The Cell, commissioned by the Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation, are hypnotic, immersive, inflatable installations asking viewers to participate in often sticky and contentious issues. Decorated with patterns based on Wiradjuri tradition, the inflatable cell draws on themes concerning the loss of cultural identity, hypnotism, consumerism and perception, challenging truth. Brooks interests take him from blow-up PVC structures to working collaboratively with print makers and within museum collections. His interest in diverse mediums and collaborative experiences aims at a richer engagement with ideas and philosophy to encourage new ways of thinking and making work, and to push pre-conceived boundaries of experience and perception.

Brook Andrew works installations include neon, performance, sculpture, video and print-media. He was the recipient of the Australia Council ISCP residency, New York 2008–09; The Exotic Human.
