Bottle of red - 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.
The Edge Launch
It's amazing when people who have control of a lot of money actually use it to build something that a) doesn't look as though it was built by an Atari, b) encourages creative growth in a city whose community planning is mostly stunted by textbook twang, and c) invites members of the community along to use the space and get paid for it.
The State We're In
We're all up for a big drink, and boy do we need it after starting all respective jobs again. Not that work makes you want to break any sort of drink celibacy right? Right. Well, what we've got in the land of Queens is enough reason to down a red in celebration this week. Commemorating our fine photographers is something we need more of anyway; less internet upload, more real photos.
Constellations
It's often said theres one thing that keeps us all together - the sky. That, and mortality or something. The curatorial premise of Constellations isn't so much that the art is about the sky (duh?), as it is the idea that all of us here in the Asia Pacific Region can see similar stars, we share a commonality and collaboration is rife.
QCA Graduate Exhibitions
Art school dropout? Not this time. Not with this bunch. Yup, it's that time of year again, where student's throw up their hands in hallelujah like motions and scream some indecipherable mumbo jumbo about "where am I going to get with this god-damned arts degree" while an academic in the corner promises the world to those dedicated enough.
We Will Wait And See
I've never been one to think "what you don't know can't hurt you". But then again, I did grow up thinking a little too much about poltergeists and daydreaming psychic-sidekicks. Mulder thinks the truth is out there, but if he actually found the truth, would his world just implode? Would he die a happy man? Alice Lang; she's a mystics skeptic.
One Night Edition: Rachael Parsons
"POLAROID IS DEAD!" the newsman cried in February last year, sending a shockwave through the vintage-photo-lovers blogs of the world. "Where's the world's alchemy going? How am I going to portray my enigmatic romance!?" The story goes: the expiry date of the last batch of Polaroid will be the 9th of October 2009.
BARI
It's pronounced Barry! Not Bahree! That's what the organisers of this 10-daylong mega artist-run-initiative showcase will tell you. You might have heard the name Barry being slung around for the past couple of weeks, and people are not talking about Barry Humphries, oh no no no. They're talking about the seven-tiered exhibition that'll be painting the town for the next week and a half.
