Melbourne Art Foundation (which presents the Melbourne Art Fair, due to be held again over 17–20 February 2022) has welcomed Professor Brian Martin, Associate Dean, Indigenous, Monash University Art, Design and Architecture to its Board.
His appointment signifies the Foundation’s commitment to supporting the diverse voices and practices of living Australian artists. As an artist and descendant of Bundjalung, MuraWari and Kamilaroi peoples, Martin’s research and practice focuses on refiguring Australian art and culture from an Indigenous ideological perspective based on a reciprocal relationship to Country.
