Tony Albert is one of Australia’s most prominent contemporary artists. He is an avid collector of objects, particularly those depicting Aboriginal people, and it’s this collection of Aboriginalia that underpins many themes in his artwork. Tony has conveyed large-scale artworks such as four giant bullets and three bullet shells that sit in Sydney’s Hyde Park, as well as decorating the seats in Sydney’s Allianz Stadium. Tony joins the podcast to discuss collectibles, his studio space, and his role in the Biennale of Sydney as its First Nations Curatorial Fellow.
