Curator Hetti Perkins has refreshed and revitalised the age-old meaning of ‘ceremony’.
This Triennial is overwhelmingly small – and stunning because of that; it’s sensitive, cohesive, and beautifully paced, favouring the pairing of presentations per gallery space to draw out nuance and consideration.
The next starting point, Perkins explains, was the work of Wiradjuri artist SJ Norman, Bone Library – an extension of an earlier work developed around 2007 when burial pouches and bones were repatriated from the British Museum.
