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. McConchie's upcoming exhibition, Cuckold Culottes; the Certainty of Cynosure, exposes her totems and explores the relationships between object, memory, space and obsession. Just like peeping into the bedroom of someone on The Selby, McConchie's exhibition shows you the method in the madness. You can't have chaos without harmony right? This art will envelop your person. Presented by No Frills* ARI, be sure to take a breath before you step into this one. It's phenomenology, dear Watson.

About
FourThousand is a subcultural guide to Brisbane, published daily and fired by email weekly. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of Brisbane writers, stylists, designers and photographers who all like huddling under that big umbrella we like to call creativity. Without editorial independence FourThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it - not because it's paid for.
