...With their tactile, outside view of country, it's fitting that Thomas' successors adorn the front of the Australian building. Painted to the left of the front doors is Paddy Bedford's Thoowoonggoonarrin, the former stockman's maternal homeland. In tones of blue-black and pinky-white, his diamond-sharp eye excavates the land from above. Raised in relief across three storeys of the fa?ade above are the jimbala spearheads of Lena Nyadbi's paternal country.

Maria de Corral, who is curating the show when it moves to Madrid in June, called it "a kind of antiportrait." What unifies the show is the sheer size of the pictures. "The dimension is an integral part of this art," says Schirn director...
...seasick. We were on that boat, huddled together, wearing loincloths. It's tossin' and rockin' and shakin' and there's water, water everywhere, not a drop to drink, and the sun's beating down," he says. His face cracks into a grin, a slice of white in a blue-black oval...
