Show Notes
Artists' Artists is a podcast where contemporary artists shed light on works of art from the national collection that inspire, move or intrigue them.
Archie Moore was born in 1970 in Toowoomba, Queensland and is of Kamilaroi and Bigambul heritage. He works across media in conceptual, research-based portrayals of self and national histories. His ongoing interests include key signifiers of identity (skin, language, smell, home, genealogy, flags), the borders of intercultural understanding and misunderstanding and the wider concerns of racism. In 2024, Moore represented Australia at the Venice Biennale; his exhibition, kith and kin was awarded the Golden Lion for best National Participation. The National Gallery has collected Moore’s work in depth since 2012.

In the late 1970s, before the National Gallery of Australia opened its doors, the surrealist artist and writer James Gleeson set out across Australia with a microphone and a mission: to build an oral history archive that captured the stories behind key works of art in the national collection, told by the artists themselves.
