This group exhibition presents works from the David and Indrė Roberts Collection complemented by new commissions by Michael E Smith and loans of works by Ida Applebroog and Andreas Slominski. Taking the form of a fiction, Albert the kid is ghosting presents rarely seen works within specially designed environments and bespoke furnishings. Playing with conventional exhibition display, the DRAF space is transformed into a fictional crime scene. The exhibition is accompanied by writings commissioned to research in depth and produce studies of the exhibited works, including by Hannah Black (on Ida Applebroog), Harry Burke (on Etel Adnan), Craig Burnett (on Philip Guston) and Matthew McLean (on Andreas Slominski). There will be a performance of the English language poetry by Etel Adnan as part of the live-events programme.
