Overview

Etel Adnan, Ida Applebroog,Philip Guston, Sergej Jensen, Hans Josephsohn, Oscar Murillo, Andreas Slominski and Michael E. Smith Albert the kid is ghosting occupies the entire DRAF building, transforming the space into an unsettling mise-en-scene of defiance: a crime scene. Selected artworks from the David Roberts collection become accomplices of an uncanny fiction. The exhibition presents each work in a precisely-designed environment of bespoke materials and furnishings. Works from the collection are complemented with new commissions by Michael E Smith and loans of works by Ida Applebroog and Andreas Slominski. Writers commissioned to research in depth and produce studies of the works include Hannah Black (on Ida Applebroog), Harry Burke (on Etel Adnan), Craig Burnett (on Philip Guston) and Matthew McLean (on Andreas Slominski).
