brief_description
Brook Andrew has created a huge new inflatable sculpture. Twelve by six by three metres, The Cell is decorated inside and out with Andrew's trademark Wiradjuri/ op-art pattern. To enter, one must first don a costume, also covered in the pattern. [...] The buyer-reader must overcome their threshold anxiety and 'rip into' it, just as the user of The Cell must 'get over themselves' in order to don a stripy costume and crawl into the work. Brook Andrew: The Cell was jointly published with Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation, Sydney. --blurb
