The third iteration of the Woolstores Project: Light Industrial focuses on the environment of the Woolstores.
The Woolstores in Brisbane’s Teneriffe are renovated light industrial buildings that manifest a unique environment owing to their history. The conscious decision to preserve and embed this history is evident in the contemporary living spaces’ design. These spaces involve original wood flooring, beams, high ceilings, rafters, skylights, artefacts, and brickwork that reminds us of its light industrial former environment.
This project examines the movement of the body between the spaces of the Woolstores – both by residents, locals and visitors to the site and the relationship between these subjects to the materiality of the artworks and artists themselves.
Essay by Dr Michael Allen Fox, resident of the Ansonia since 2016 and author of Home: A Very Short Introduction (Oxford University Press).
This year’s artists include Susan Lincoln, Joseph Burgess, Del Lumanta, Joe Lodge and Lindsay Crawford. The artists in each of their own ways are dealing with Light Industrial culture and its after-effects.
Curated by Caroline Austin and Dr Victoria Lawson.
