Don’t miss the opening of our three new exhibitions, featuring new and acclaimed works by Queensland and international artists. At 3pm, hear artist Jasmine Togo-Brisby and Imelda Miller (Curator, Torres Strait Islander and Pacific Indigenous Studies, Queensland Museum) discuss Brisby’s new exhibition, It Is Not a Place.

About the Exhibitions

Jasmine Togo-Brisby is an Australian South Sea Islander artist who conjures with an iconography of tall ships, decorative ceilings, and crow feathers. It Is Not a Place features two major new commissions—a sculpture and a video—addressing the impacts of the Pacific slave trade.

Our new annual exhibition Platform showcases new commissions by emerging Queensland artists under forty. In 2024, we present new works by Miguel Aquilizan, Mia Boe, and Sarah Poulgrain.

Angela Su’s pseudo-documentary The Magnificent Levitation Act of Lauren O tells the story of her fictional alter-ego Lauren O, a mysterious figure drawn to levitation practices, linking the perils of flight to the exploring the recesses of the mind. It was the centrepiece of Su’s show Arise at the Hong Kong Pavilion at the 2022 Venice Biennale.
