I spent nearly 2 hours crawling all over this sprawling exhibition
that contained the work of around 32 artists, obviously stopping for
chats on the way.
It contained a lot of progressive work covering some confronting
themes and statements of personal exploration, sexuality,
social and political indigenous issues.
Above are a selection of my favourites from the show.
If you would like to see more from these artists, please click on their
respective links.
Better still, if you would like to see them in person,
the exhibition is open now until December 2nd
@ QCA, 226 Grey Street, South Brisbane.
Opening hours are 10am to 4pm.

Tonight, I'm going to see more of the OtherFilm Festival.
Free your mind with a mix of experimental film, art and performance!
The national event debuted in Brisbane last night at the Queensland
Maritime Museum.
The night was actually held on the old dry docked war ship and it
was unforgettable.
There were "things" happening in rooms all the way through the ship,
all the way down to the lower deck.
Audrey Lam / Caitlin Franzmann on the Lower Deck
Kiah Reading: Sex Waves on the Upper Deck
Highlights for me were Sally Golding, Audrey Lam/ Caitlin Franzmann,
Horse Macgyver and I think a highlight for everyone was Kiah Reading's
Sex Waves room which was hilarious and clever and really set the night
alight with it's energy.
Must have been the Rum and bananas!
Tonight and tomorrow night, the event continues at the Institute of Modern Art (IMA)
before going on to Melbourne and then the Meredith Music Festival.
Come along!
The cinemateque at GoMA is also continuing it's musical programme with
Get Down! Dance on Film since the 1970's.
Tonight you can see Xanadu on the big screen at 8pm.
I'm hoping to see Cabaret at 5:30pm on Sunday...
See the full programme here:
On Saturday night, I am also seeing another of of my favourite Australian
bands Boomgates from Melbourne, supported by Brisbane's Cannon and
Tight Slip.
This show has now moved to my new favourite live venue, The Primitive Room
at Spring Hill.
Get ready for some dancing. This will be lots of fun!
See you soon,
Thea X
