Abstract (English)

Madill explores the notion of cultural interconnection and hybridity in the work of five Aboriginal artists. She describes how each brings traditions from his or her native background into a contemporary context, attending to site-specificity. Stressing the positive aspects of hybridity, she claims the artists are creating a new, multicultural, international, politics of representation. In his text and paintings, Bennet inscribes the history of colonialism within the history of art, interrupting a complacent sense of “pop” history and popular concepts of identity. Biographical notes. List of works.
