Heineken - 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.
Ruth McConchie - Cuckold Culottes; the Certainty of Cynosure
Have you ever had a fetish that went a little too far? Where's the line that tells me to stop eating delicious Mexican food? Or cleaning tea spoons so that they're as clear as mirrors? Or thinking that seagulls are spawns of satan ready to disembowel you?
Ruth McConchie, she knows all about fetishes, and this exhibition shows you hers.
Office of Australia - Dirk Yates
The term Institutional Critique is becoming nuller and voider. Yup. We all know about controlled environments, thanks Debord! I was glad then, when reading about the upcoming Dirk Yates exhibition, Office of Australia, that the aforementioned phrase wasn't uttered. Yates, a contemporary conceptualist, has a passion for both art and architecture, and he'll be exhibiting a new work with local ARI (Artist Run Initiative), Boxcopy.
Small Fry
"Hey! Small Fry! Get over here and join us for some b-ball!". Ever noticed how shorties are usually pretty good at neighbourhood basketball? Maybe I'm deluding myself, but their height can allow for lots of duck and weave. Enough to give Leroy Loggins a run for his money. They'll be under his legs in no time.
Hand Drawn
TGIF really has come a very long way in this burgeoning town of ours. Yeh, a few years ago you would have sufficed with some after work drinks at Friday's (naturally). Hey, you can't be blamed - it was considered a hot place to be.
Nowadays there are more options, beside the obvious list of cooler places to drink; there's a gallery above Mellino's that's giving Brisbane a Brooklyn style and everyone is sipping on cold beers, talking art and possibility.
