Liam O'Brien | Shooting Blanks | Closing

Last night we held an evening reception for our current exhibition - Liam O'Brien's Shooting Blanks. Thanks to all of the wonderful art viewers who came out to see the show and share a drink with us. We had a really super evening. Here are some social images from the night mixed up with a few images of the show...

Current Projects presents recent video work by Brisbane emerging artist duo Clark Beaumont, in which the artists unpack the 'Aussie' identity and construct new narratives for both themselves and the audience. Originally created for SafARI 2012 in Sydney, So where the bloody hell are you? 'premieres' in Brisbane as the second instalment of Current Projects' Pear shaped series - a number of one-night exhibitions that present work by collaborative pairs.

Rachel Maclean opening night...

Last night we celebrated the opening of Rachel Maclean's The Lion and The Unicorn. It was a great night of art viewing and frivolity. We had a fantastic turn out of wonderful art lovers and received lots of feedback about the work. We'll be sure to pass it on to Rachel, who due to geographic impediments, couldn't be here for the show! Here are some social snaps from the evening.

If you missed the opening, the show will remain open until July 14. We are open Wednesday to Friday 11 - 4.30 and Saturday 2 - 5. Don't miss this great show!

Pear shaped: one-night edition

Wednesday 18 April, 6-8pm

On Hiatus marks the first of our Pear shaped: one-night editions by collaborating artists.

Catherine or Kate, the artist(s) formerly known as Catherine Sagin (née Fiona Mail) have been working together for four years. Having undergone more name-changes than a high school garage band trying to hook their first paid gig, the duo have shown a blatant disregard for branding consistency and instead have opted to keep internet search engines on their toes. These restless naming revisions are part of the duo’s broader strategy for deliberately disrupting the distinctions between individual and shared performative identities. By constantly reframing and refocusing the dynamics of their partnership, Catherine or Kate also engage in an ongoing reassessment of the popular paradigms of creative collaboration, and the basic tenets upon which these collaborations are founded.

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
