In 'Hold Me', audiences listen in on a frustrated phone conversation between Adelaide-based artist Brad Darkson and a Centrelink worker trying to unravel the ramifications of a robo-debt, interspersed by the relentless sound of the hold music. While we're all working from home due to COVID-19, Samstag curator Gillian Brown discusses this eerily prescient work with Darkson, over the phone.Bold, creative and responsive to contemporary visual art, Samstag Museum of Art is one of Australia's leading university art museums.
