Moving backwards into the future...

...is the title of the new exhibition of indigenous art at the NGV. The title references tradition as the springboard for the creation of new art.

Among the recent acquisitions is this interesting piece by Robert Andrew. It is made up of a computer-operated palimpsest machine that uses water to erode away the layers of ochre and chalk, which bleed down the surface of the gallery wall.
