Tom Nicholson: Public Meeting

Tom Nicholson’s drawings, sculptures and social practice installations hang in the National Gallery of Australia and have been exhibited at biennales around the world. Yet until now, there has never been a large-scale exhibition of his work. That’s about to change, as the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art presents Tom Nicholson: Public Meeting as part of the gallery’s annual Influential Australian Artist series. Featuring key pieces from his career so far as well as new commissions, Nicholson uses historical materials and the visual language of art and politics to explore the relationship between history and collective action and to question, reconfigure and re-imagine ideas around public monuments.
