Panoramas

6th April - 6th Oct

WHEN : 6th April – 6th Oct
WHERE : Museum of Brisbane

A history of Brisbane Photography. Among the countless images taken since the introduction of photography to Australia in the 1860s, panoramas contain something special. These wide vistas possess a poignancy and power that capture not a single subject, but the broader context of a place at a particular time.

Panoramas features the earliest panoramic examples of Brisbane Photography. They depict an intriguing Brisbane and track its growth from a modest town nestled in the river‚™s curves to the bustling modern city we know today.

Beyond the landscape, the photographs give an insight into life at different times in our city‚™s history when roads were rudimentary, horses gave way to early vehicles, and City Hall once towered over all.

Providing a fascinating insight into life in Brisbane over a 150-year span, this Brisbane Photography exhibition features a multimedia interactive component that will allow visitors to compare yesteryear to our ever-changing city of today.

Panoramas is the inaugural exhibition of Document, an ongoing series of exhibitions that uncovers how artists, photographers and observers view and record Brisbane‚™s landscape, history and culture.

Document is fascinated with the way individuals explore their habitat, carve their identity, integrate with the community and connect with the city.

A major highlight of Document will be an annual commission that invites an artist to make a work or series about an aspect of the city.
