Safe Space: contemporary sculpture is curated by Christine Morrow and features art works by Adbul-Rahman Abdullah, Alex Seton, Claire Healy and Sean Cordeiro, David Cross, Franz Ehmann, Karla Dickens, Keg de Souza, Michelle Nikou, Rosie Miller, Tim Sterling and Will French.
The exhibition brings together three-dimensional art works that explore psychological aspects of physical space. It features a range of figurative elements and narrative themes with social, and sometimes political, resonances. Many of the works in this exhibition take as their point of departure: the human body, its dimensions, the spaces it occupies, the narratives that contain it and the theatre or spectacle that unfolds around it.
Presented in partnership between Museums and Galleries Queensland and Logan Art Gallery, the exhibition will tour to galleries in five Australian states over three years.
