WINNING WORDS

The second edition of the NGV Triennial is a global assembly of new and commissioned work from more than 100 artists, designers and architects. From New York, Diamond Stingily’s installation of around 700 trophies (detail, right) – their plaques replaced with short, elegiac passages – speaks to our culture’s obsession with triumph and failure, while DRC-born, Adelaidebased Pierre Mukeba’s Impartiality (above) reflects on representations of his community and the mixed cultural connotations of his materials.
