John Curtin Gallery is proud to announce a major survey exhibition of the work of Bidjara artist, Christian Thompson, one of Australia\u2019s leading and most intriguing contemporary artists.<\/h1>\n

Thompson works across photography, video, sculpture, performance and sound, interweaving themes of identity, race and history with his lived experience. His work is held in the collections of major state and national art museums in Australia and internationally. Thompson made history as one of the first two Aboriginal Australians to be accepted into the University of Oxford as a Charlie Perkins Scholar, where he completed his Doctorate of Philosophy (Fine Art) in 2016.<\/p>\n

Ritual Intimacy, surveys Thompson\u2019s diverse practice, spanning fifteen years, and will also be accompanied by the publication of the first monograph on the artist\u2019s career and work.<\/p>\n

Developed by Monash University Museum of Art (MUMA), the exhibition will feature a major new commission created for this exhibition.<\/span><\/p>\n
