Ep 28 I Archie Moore

Archie Moore (Kammilaroi/Bigambul) is an artist and Samstag Scholar. While a student in Prague, Archie travelled extensively around Europe, including a visit to the Venice Biennale. He returns to Venice 23 years later representing Australia as the 2024 Venice Biennale artist.

In a wide-ranging conversation with Associate Curator Anna Zagala Archie shares his preparations for Venice,  plans for his forthcoming Samstag commission, his experience while on scholarship, and offers an insight into his practice through an in-depth discussion of a number of his key artworks, from the Dwelling series to the public art commission for Sydney airport.

ON Art is supported by the Gordon Darling Foundation and Solstice Podcasting and produced by Tilly Balding in Tarntanya/Adelaide. The conversation was recorded over Zoom on 18 May 2023.
