How to Beat a Dead Horse is a solo exhibition of new work by local artist Keemon Williams. From a contemporary Indigenous perspective, this exhibition considers the commercial production of mass-produced tourist merchandise, their construction of Australian ‘national identity’, and associated ideas of value and authenticity. The exhibition uses a Pop aesthetic that offers a […]
‘Figments of Figures’ is an exhibition featuring the work of four emerging artists concerned with figuration in painting; or perhaps with ‘re-figuration’, as Dana Schutz recently put it. Unlike Schutz’s approach however, the works in this exhibition do not start somewhere in the public imagination, but rather in the quiet and personal recesses of memory, […]
Seth Ellis is a Senior Lecturer in Design at the Queensland College of Art, as well as a narrative artist and installation designer. ‘Sugar Ghosts’ arises out of the work that he has recently completed as 2019 Mittelheuser scholar-in-residence at the State Library of Queensland (extended to December 2020 due to COVID-19). This work investigated […]

The exhibition examines the ways landscape manifests through culture, or personhood, and attempts to bring the two together, rather than separating them. On Earth includes artworks from the QUT Art Collection alongside the work […]

Parallel Park (Tay Haggarty and Holly Bates) will present a new video work continuing their ongoing interest in queer formations of intimacy, collaboration and community, at the intersection of artistic process. Combining interviews, reconstructed memories and formal experimentation, the work places water, and its slippery flows, its spills and its quotidian beauty, at its metaphorical […]
The formation of these light-weight blocks will change throughout the exhibition run – the structures may form a seat, a stage, a study space, a wall, a monument, an archway, or even a ruin. Revisiting this concept in our current context, Angelidakis thinks through how we create community and inhabit space in a global pandemic. […]
Jennifer Hillhouse’s first solo exhibition, “Stones and Structures of the Sea” is an arrangement of objects, imagery and installation based on both ancient and contemporary forms that exist along coastlines. The work is an observation of the relationship between man-made structures and natural rock formations along the shorelines of Australia & France. There is a […]

Recent events have changed our ability to travel and during 2020 there was a recognisable shift in our appreciation for community resources, homegrown produce, and locally […]
