Self-Dissection

What's On /

Alannah Dair, Annie O’Rourke, Vicky Satchwell and Natalie Wood present ‘Self-Dissection.’ This exhibition considers women in a host of unfamiliar and familiar roles: as rage-driven destructive force, as victim of the frailties of the female body, as weekend feminist or weekday slave to domestic ritual. The resulting works offer an insight into the complexity of

Kitty Horton: Umbra

What's On /

‘Umbra’, a term for the fully shaded inner region of a shadow, is the title of Kitty Horton’s upcoming solo exhibition. Beautifully, the title captures the duality of using malleable, build-able oil pastels and paints, teamed with the impermanence and dusty quality of mark making with charcoal. Kitty’s works consistently explore materiality, while positioning social

The Semiotics of the Dress

What's On /

Julie-Anne Milinski: Dust over Eldorado

What's On /

Dust over Eldorado is an exhibition of new works by Brisbane artist Julie-Anne Milinski.

Mitchell Donaldson: So Long Cryptic Era

What's On /

SO LONG CRYPTIC ERA invokes a re-acquaintance with uncertainty in regards to the world and its continuing formation. Similar to automatic drawing, its compositions start with shapes cut randomly from plywood. Painting and arranging these shapes acts as a form of divination, generating meaningful relationships through colouration and layering. While the shapes remain physically discrete,

Where to from here?

What's On /

This exhibition presents a selection of works as part of my Doctor of Visual Arts final assessment.

Kristian Fracchia: Mortality and Fluoro

What's On /

Mortality and Fluoro is a materially based investigation of mortality. Emanating from Fracchia’s personal near-death experience in the ocean, this body of work visually articulates feelings of impermanence, fragility and the⁣ precariousness of human life. This is expressed as the dichotomous⁣ opposite to the culture of machismo and bravado amongst young male⁣ surfers.⁣ ⁣ Acknowledging
