Caboolture Regional Art Gallery

I, Object considers the many complex relationships Indigenous Australian artists continue to have with objects – from the histories informing their creation to the social and cultural consequences of their collection. The exhibition demonstrates the great pride and inspiration of inherited cultural practices and historical Indigenous objects, and reveals the difficulties posed by their collection and estrangement.

I, Object features contemporary painting, sculpture, and installation by leading Queensland artists Vernon Ah Kee, Tony Albert, Michael Boiyool Anning, Fiona Foley, Danie Mellor, Christian Thompson, Warraba Weatherall, D. Harding, Jennifer Herd, Naomi Hobson, Craig Koomeeta and Alair Pambegan alongside 20 historical shields, boomerangs and clubs.

 

Sensory tours

Free sensory tours are available every Friday during January 2024 between 11:00 AM to 11:30 AM, except on the Australia Day public holiday. Visit Sensory tour: I, Object for more information and to book.

Caboolture Regional Art Gallery is open from Tuesday to Saturday, 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM.
