Gulinj-al Ngulu Kerr-up-non Biik-u (The Voice of Kulin Country) pays tribute to the languages of the Kulin Nation, spoken across Australia’s south-east coast for tens of thousands of years before British settlement. Maree Clarke conceived the film to formalise the deep entwinement of language, agriculture, hunting, art and Country central to First Nations cultures.

Of the 250 Indigenous languages once spoken across Australia, nearly wiped out through colonial policy and culminating in the Stolen Generations, only a handful remain today. In the film, branches pay tribute to the 38 languages spoken across what’s now Victoria, alongside gumnuts, seeds, quills, teeth, feathers and ochre standing in for the broader Kulin Nation ecosystem.

Rendered in contemporary 3D technology, the work lifts these objects out of an anthropological frame and connects Country and culture to mixed media art. Hypnotic and circular, it conveys the equilibrium with environment at the heart of Kulin Nation land use.

The works of Rosslynd Piggott and Daniel Crooks sit within the Grand Hall and Resident’s Bar of St. Clare Retirement Community for @vmchvic, designed by @woodsbagot.

Saint Clare, considered a cultural icon of contemplation, non-hierarchical leadership and integrity. Renouncing her family’s noble status to follow the gospel path charted by her friend St. Francis. She led her community in a manner that defied medieval conventions of wealth and gender. As part of Broached’s approach to curating art for the @st.clare_kew retirement precinct, we focused on three themes - Nature, Calmness, and Light.

We recently visited the @meridiansculpture workshop to view artist @yhonniescarce’s upcoming commission for @mirvac_group’s 55 Pitt Street in Sydney.

As a tribute to the pre-colonial condition of the Tank Stream – which once flowed through the 55 Pitt Street site – this site-specific brass sculpture by Yhonnie Scarce is a symbolic reinstatement of the Swamp Sheoak (casuarina glauca) back into the 55 Pitt Street ground plane.

This sculpture acknowledges the history of Sydney’s lost flora and builds on the story of the native landscape of Gadigal Country. taken in Meridian Sculpture by @broached_consulting

In the library of VMCH’s St Clare Kew precinct sits an antique Sammelband of Roman churches, engraved plates gathered across centuries, from devotional surveys of the 1650s to early 19th-century lithographs. A devotional record, it reflects the intertwined histories of faith, art, and intellectual possession that shaped Europe’s visual culture.

For this commission, we invited artist John Warwicker to open it.

Working from scans of the book’s pages, Warwicker built a series of large-format prints that fold the original architectural drawings into a bricolage with the formal and figurative imagery of the period. The works retain the scholarly rigour of the original plates while enacting a creative, almost theatrical, interrogation of architectural and artistic lineage.
John’s prints populate the hallways of the residents’ buildings, spaces that all invariably connect back to St Clare’s library, and the book it contains.

NEW COMMISSION | Broached’s capstone project for Lendlease at Melbourne Quarter, Batman’s Hill Marker.

This artwork celebrates the surveying of the Melbourne Grid from Batman’s Hill, where this precinct now stands. Broached decided to invert the view of a colonial era theodolite by inviting artist Maree Clarke to create a river reed kaleidoscope within the viewing lens, creating a First Nations perspective on this primary location for the colonisation of Victoria.

In a custom metal case designed by @broached_consulting and fabricated by @axolotlgroup , it is just one of the many unique Indigenous art pieces for our community to enjoy at Wesley Place.

An intricate lead-alloy toy soldier stands stoically framed within a decorative pressed metal frame. Objects of child’s play and nostalgia display a cross-section of reverie and daily life, painting a picture of the working-class families who once called 275 Kent St, Sydney, home.

A short film commissioned by Sydney restauranteur @nahjichu with Broached’s Lou Weis as executive director.
Featured on @nowness , Make Your Maker explores the inseparability of the human body from reproduction and consumption. Jellies and organic materials are cast into the shapes of bodies and faces, an augmentation and cloning of the human body occurring within the kitchen laboratory.
Artist @lucymcrae blurs the distinction between specimen and subject, with the proposition of eating our cloned and technologically reconstructed selves. by @broached_consulting

Batman’s Hill was once earmarked as the potential location for Melbourne’s Botanical Gardens. These gardens served as a project of colonial expansion and settlement with the introduction of plant species collected from around the globe.

Artist Geoff Nees’s geometric pattern work warmly inhabits the interior of Lendlease’s headquarters at Melbourne Quarter. The timberwork is comprised as a collection of fallen native and introduced trees from Melbourne’s Botanical Gardens- a commentary on the colonial moment that the building is built upon, and an ambient meditative piece.

Nostalgia, in collaboration with @woodsbagot for the Continental, Sorrento. We often fondly reflect on this project and the privilege it was to curate and commission works within such a beautiful environment.
Broached’s narrative focussed on the exclusion of Indigenous Australians, the LGBTQ+ community, and women as independent travellers during the seaside period of the late 19th C. Vibrancy, playfulness, youth, and sentimentality speak through all these individual works.
