Hyperallergic writes about 'Networking the Unseen' show Furtherfield Gallery
http://bit.ly/2aH8gQT 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 - http://furtherfield.org/programmes/exhibition/networking-the-unseen
