Heads from the North – Dadang Christanto
In the Marsh Pond (part of the sculpture garden) is a powerful work by Dadang Christanto, an Indonesian artist based in Darwin.Dadang makes work against a backdrop of 1960s army-sponsored terror and murder in Indonesia, during which his father was killed. There’s memory of personal and collective trauma driving this; it makes for real and uncompromising work. National Art Gallery Canberra Australia
