As Above, So Below
23 June 2024 - 13 October 2024 - FREE
QUT Art Museum
"The term ‘as above, so below’ has its origins in an ancient, cryptic text known as the Emerald Tablet. Drawn from a Latin interpretation and adopted by a number of different belief systems, the phrase is commonly used to describe the idea that the microcosm mirrors the macrocosm and vice versa. It can be interpreted to mean that events in the spiritual world are echoed in the physical world, or what exists in the digital or virtual world mimics that in the real world. Further, it might suggest that what occurs inside the human body is mirrored in the surrounding environment, or what happens on a small scale will also take place on a large scale."
UQ Art Museum
Hoda Afshar: A Curve is a Broken Line 16 July - 14 December
"Through her photographs and moving image works, Iranian-born, Melbourne-based Hoda Afshar examines the politics of image-making. Deeply researched yet emotionally sensitive, her work can be seen as a form of activism as much as an artistic inquiry."
Dusk Of Nations 16 July - 14 December 2024
"Dusk of Nations features selected works by leading Australian-based artists drawn primarily from the UQ Collection. Spanning painting, photography, sculptural objects and moving image, artists explore ideas of national identity and nationhood, and how these concepts are defended and maintained, resisted and subverted."
Vibrant Matter 16 July - 14 December 2024
"The artists included in Vibrant Matter have co-produced their work with material components of drawing, sculpture, and sound art. Welcoming the active participation of these more-than-human materials and beings as co-creators, the works move away from notions of the singular intention of authorship."
Rosella Namok: Old Girls Yarning into the Night Until 14 December 2024
"Rosella Namok, of the Kanthanampu and Aangkum language groups, Eastern Cape York region, is a leading artist of the internationally reclaimed Lockhart River Art Gang. Namok’s window commission Old Girls Yarning into the Night is a dynamic and optical work, which honours the storytelling circles of women, beginning their yarning at sunset and ending when the sun rises."
Institute of Modern Art
Duty of Care
29 June – 29 September 2024
"In the art world, there’s a new emphasis on care, with a focus on gentle attentiveness and good works, and a fear of triggering hurt. In curatorial practice—and in culture more broadly—’care’ has become a buzzword, and is being used to reset policy and practice. However, too often, the complexity and troublesomeness of care are smoothed over by liberal good intentions."
Florian Habicht: Spookers
29 June–11 October 2024
"Habicht went behind the scenes at Spookers, a horror theme park located in a former psychiatric institution in Aotearoa/New Zealand. Its staff of outsiders dress as scary clowns and zombie brides to terrify visitors in the notoriously haunted premises."
Theatre
'Balikbayan Blues: The Musical'
Sat 28 - 1500 or 2100 - from $35+
"Three ‘balikbayans’ (returning Filipinos) meet at the local “sari-sari” store in a small town in the Philippines. Here they share the challenges and successes of their lives as migrants in Australia and elsewhere. They also respond to the curious questions of their ‘kababayans’ (townmates) and old friends who have never lived overseas." Humanitix
