Hyperallergic writes about 'Networking the Unseen' show Furtherfield Gallery

LONDON — Inside Furtherfield Gallery, one is confronted by the noxious
fruits of British colonialism. In “Ngarnda: Dead Ringer,” a video by the
Martu filmmaker Curtis Taylor, a man is on the verge of losing
consciousness, his eyelids drooping and rivulets of blood dribbling down
his forehead. This choreographed bloodletting seems to be a dramatization
of the colonialist period and the irreparable violence inflicted on the
indigenous peoples of Australia. Networking the Unseen — an exhibition of
works by indigenous and non-indigenous Australian artists on view at
Furtherfield Gallery — is a kind of colonialism in reverse, allowing
indigenous artists to colonize a four-room gallery at the heart of a
defunct empire.

Last weekend to see the show -
