Look - Brisbane Art Galleries
People who say that there is no such thing as bad art are lying. LOOK takes an objective view of the subjective world and, with a free drink in our hand, guides you through Brisbane's best galleries and art exhibitions. From institutions to artist-run initiatives, installation to illustration, photography to painting, LOOK is an ongoing document of Brisbane's ever engaging and growing arts culture.
Mood in Progress, Louise Tahiraj
Louise Tahiraj is a busy lady. Between helping run Accidentally Annie St, working a day job and speaking critically about art, she experiments with video and that huge gap between the pixel and her own sleight of hand. Opening this week at Box Copy, Tahiraj exhibits her experimentation in the aforementioned medium, proving that video isn't just about the moving image, but the components which are drawn in to make it.
Nine Lives
Nine Lives is the embodiment of the lives of nine dudes and everything that they love. Opening in the October of 2008, these lads are the kind of guys who see the opportunity in something and don't waste time putting the wheels in motion. After approaching the owner of Mellinos, the upstairs storage space was swiftly transformed into a gallery space.
Simryn Gill, Gathering
You're wandering the suburbs, say, maybe Sandgate, or Capalaba and you're knocking on people's doors to see if they'll let you in to take a photo of their living room? Suddenly, you're concerned for your life as grade two's Stranger Danger course kicks in, thinking 'Stephen King, look what you did to me.
I'm OK, You're OK
Oh old Satre, you. If only you knew what you've done to the human condition. There's so much inadvertent flailing going on out there, sometimes I feel like the guy in that poem who was actually waving, but nobody returned his wave so he drowned.
Okay, so not really, but there's something to be said about having a method in the madness.
At First Light
French and Murdoch Stafford could be related. Born of the same blood. These two, they have an affinity with the gnarliest of urban mythology and their drawings echo that very sentiment. Opening at Nine Lives this weekend, the two have found each other at long last to lay themselves down in front of the altar of invocation.
Valentino, Retrospective: Past/Present/Future
Valentino Garavani. What a man. I developed a fondness for this bronzed, nymph-like designer after viewing the documentary Valentino: The Last Emperor. Along with his overwhelming passion for couture and an undeniable talent for detail, this man was capable of throwing some very entertaining temper tantrums that only an Italian designer could throw.
Fresher Cu_ts 2010
Fresher Cu_ts started out as a sort of ‘Hey! Established art institution! Take notice of work that isn't all about decoration, something with a little more gritty conceptualism, art must echo our condition!'.
Fresher Cu_ts has grown up, and is now completely separate from Fresh Cut, partly because Brisbane is too small for grudges, and partly because both have got their game on.
