Once Again... (Statues Never Die) opens at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney

Once Again... (Statues Never Die) makes its Australian premiere at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney.

Isaac Julien's 5-screen black-and-white installation, exploring the legacies of the philosopher, critic and art historian Alain Locke and African art collector Albert Barnes, whose collection inspired both Locke and the Harlem Renaissance.  

Starring actor André Holland (Moonlight and Passing) as Alain Locke, Danny Huston (Succession and Marlowe) as Dr. Barnes, rising star Devon Terrell as sculptor Richmond Barthé, and Sharlene Whyte (Small Axe and Lessons of the Hour) as the curator, Julien reimagines Locke’s relationship and correspondence with Barnes. Singer and songwriter Alice Smith also makes a special appearance.
