Tony Albert's 'Reverb & Still' Opens at Sullivan+Strumpf Sydney
On Thursday, September 17, 2026, Sullivan+Strumpf will host a solo exhibition featuring two fresh collections by the acclaimed First Nations artist, curator, and cultural ambassador Tony Albert at their Gadigal/Sydney location. Titled 'Reverb & Still', this show complements Albert's ongoing exhibition, 'Tony Albert: Not a Souvenir', which is on view at the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia until October 19, 2026. The new works explore how language, imagery, and representation persist over time, highlighting cultural perceptions across generations. In 'Reverb', Albert plays with common Australian phrases to address the underlying racism found in humor and everyday language. More information about the exhibition will be shared shortly.
