About this title

Synopsis

A portable, scholarly guide to Moore's Golden Lion–winning exhibition at the 60th Venice Biennale

Published with Creative Australia.

Kamilaroi-Bigambul artist Archie Moore (born 1970) works across mediums to create conceptual, research-based portrayals of self and national histories. This portable volume expounds upon his exhibition of the same name, which was awarded the Golden Lion at the 60th Venice Biennale in 2024. For the exhibition, Moore transformed the Australian Pavilion into an enveloping genealogical chart, hand-drawn in white chalk. Boldly displaying kinship ties that span 65,000 years and 2,400 generations, the artist evinced the common ancestry of all humans.
In addition to ample installation photographs, kith and kin features reproductions of the archival materials sourced for the project alongside commentary from the artist. Texts from a host of writers, curators and scholars examine subject matter related to Moore's work, such as Indigenous language maintenance and the ongoing legacies of colonization.
