Archie Moore in conversation with Mat Kesting

Join us for a conversation about film with Archie Moore (Kamilaroi/Bigambul) and Adelaide Film Festival CEO and Creative Director Mat Kesting.

Recipient of the 2024 AFF/Samstag Art and the Moving Image Commission, celebrated artist Archie Moore (Kamilaroi/Bigambul) presents an ambitious new large-scale immersive installation work at Samstag Museum of Art.  With Archie Moore: Dwelling (Adelaide Issue), the fifth iteration of his Dwelling series, Moore imaginatively recreates the mise-­en-scene of his childhood home.  An ongoing investigation of memory and the effect of colonisation, the work draws on visual, auditory, haptic and olfactory elements to create a powerful sense of verisimilitude.

Moore's commission and associated exhibition at Samstag will follow the artist's showing at the prestigious 60th Venice Biennale of Art where he represented Australia and was awarded the coveted Golden Lion for his monumental installation kith and kin.
