HE MADE THE GROUND RESOUND WITH HIS FALL




Please join us for the opening of 
HE MADE THE GROUND RESOUND WITH HIS FALL
New work by Pirrin Francis

Wednesday 4 April, 6 - 8pm
Studio 3.5 Metro Arts 109 Edward Street, Brisbane.


Francis’ recent practice is concerned with how unconventional narrative structures can be used to portray events, places and characters within a realm where reality and imagination overlap. Working predominantly with video and digital media, presented in elaborately staged installations, she deconstructs and disrupts traditional narratives to create an intersection of fact and fiction.

Exhibition runs 28 March - 14 April

Lefety Levity



Current Projects invites you to Lefety Levity, a one-night exhibition by Sally Chicken.

Sally’s practice investigates the relationship between humans and animals and how these relationships change between cultures. Her practice is influenced by her own experiences of living in, and moving between, urban and rural environments. Lefety Levity examines the types of communication, including slippages in understanding, that occur between humans and ‘man’s best friend.’ 

One night only - Wednesday the 21st of March between 6 and 8pm.

FROM/TO (AUS)



Current Projects is excited to invite you to Katrin Ströbel's FROM/TO (AUS). 


Katrin Ströbel's (1975 in Pforzheim, Germany) drawings, installations and videos deal with semiotics, (pictorial) languages and cultural codes. Through travel grants and longer stays in Europe, Morocco, Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa, the U.S. and Peru, her work has included increasingly more intercultural and socio-political questions, like impacts of urbanism and architecture, migration, borders and intercultural communication. In addition to the political or cultural themes, an important subject has been the basic reflections of the meaning and function of contemporary art in western and non-western contexts. Katrin Ströbel´s work as been shown in many solo and group exhibitions in Berlin, Frankfurt, New York, Chicago, Lagos, Dakar, Paris, Zürich and Lima. 


FROM/TO [AUS] is her first show in Australia, and specifically explores links between tourism and migration and the perception of the 'unknown country' that leads both movements.
