Archie Moore: Remnants Of My Father

Developed for the 2026 Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art: Yield Strength, "in Remnants Of My Father, Archie Moore creates a portrait of his father, Stanley Moore (1908–1994). Rather than being presented with his father’s likeness, audiences come to an understanding of Stanley through the objects and papers he left behind: a hand-drawn map of a gold deposit, a licence to possess valuable minerals, a business advertisement, war medals, a bedside bucket, and dentures with a gold cap." —2026 Adelaide Biennial wall label

"Memories of my father are the golden thread that connect eight forged objects and reproduced documents from my father’s deceased estate. The work speaks to (false) hope, (empty) promises, (thin) veneers and (pipe) dreams." —Archie Moore

Archie Moore's Remnants Of My Father for the 2026 Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art: Yield Strength was supported by the Pallion Arts Program.
