Currently on display at the Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) is Presence, an exhibition featuring the works of Icelandic/Danish artist Olafur Eliasson. On Sunday, I visited the exhibition for a third time. I really enjoy seeing the same exhibition with different people. Sharing opinions and discussing the artworks is, for me, one of the joys…

The Art of Banksy: Without Limits has recently opened in Brisbane. I purchased my ticket as soon as they went on sale because, like so many people, I enjoy Banksy’s works and their broader political messages. Over the past week or so, I have been glued to the articles emerging speaking to the exhibition’s controversy.…

In 2020 I visited the Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA) to see an exhibition titled Water. GOMA’s new exhibition, Air, is the next element in the series. Similar to Water, everything on display links back to an overriding theme in some way, shape or form. Water was definitely the more interactive of the two. A…

Welcome to my first blog post for 2023! There are some exciting things on the horizon for this year and, hopefully, excellent exhibitions and museums along the way.

On Thursday I visited the Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA) in Brisbane to see Chiharu Shiota’s exhibition, The Soul Trembles.

Last night, I had the wonderful opportunity to visit the Museum of Brisbane’s (MoB) new exhibition, City in the Sun, with the South East Queensland Registrars Network. We were so fortunate to have a Curator-led tour through the exhibition presented by Miranda Hines. MoB is a wonderful museum in the heart of Brisbane, located in…

On Saturday, I visited the Van Gogh Alive immersive experience here in Brisbane. Although not strictly an art gallery, I decided it was worth a review considering its role as a digital art experience that focuses on immersion rather than displaying ‘authentic’ artworks. What I mean by this, is you won’t see an original Van…

Is there a better way to spend a Sunday night than listening to a talk debating art? For a brief moment, I forgot that tomorrow is Monday. The Great Art Debate was a virtual event that saw classical art and contemporary art go head-to-head to win the hearts and minds of the audience. A huge…

Now that Brisbane is back in lockdown, I have been searching for something to keep my mind occupied that isn’t just watching copious amounts of Netflix and working from home. A lovely friend sent me an Instagram message recently alerting me to The Untitled Drawing Club, run by Alexis Winter. As soon as I clicked…

Yesterday I visited the Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA) to see their new blockbuster exhibition, European Masterpieces from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. With artworks spanning from 1420 to the early twentieth-century, there is quite literally something for everyone. Seeing the works displayed chronologically allowed for a new appreciation of how western art…
