Press: | Brett Murray talks with Caterina Pereira and Alexander Matthews of Tongues.cc about free speech, social media and his latest exhibition with Everard Read London, Limbo.

Tonguess.cc who celebrate ‘the rebels, the dreamers, the pioneers and provocateurs’ ask Murray about his conflictions creating such a sentimental body of work, a grand departure from his political past –

‘I’m 60-years-old: I can fucking be sentimental if I want to. I love my family and I’m telling the world that, and that’s fine because that’s what you have to do, especially in the context of a fucking global pandemic [where] you don’t know what’s coming… you inevitably imbue in this innate material who you are … it’s playful, but it’s filled with pathos and it’s deep and it’s very light and it’s poppy, but it’s also serious…. All those contradictions hopefully add up to an idea, I suppose, of my vision of the world or my idiosyncratic understanding of the world. [In] this last body of work there was definitely pathos, sadness, anxiety.”
