Salote Tawale discusses her involvement in the exhibition sis QAGOMA 2024-04-28 | For nearly two decades, Salote Tawale has upended viewers’ and critics’ expectations of who she is and what she is likely to do next. Significantly, she refuses for her art practice to be categorised as a symbol of ‘Pacific-ness’ or her place of birth – Fiji. Tawale's work is included in the exhibition ‘sis: Pacific Art 1980–2023’ at the Gallery of Modern Art until 25 August 2024"I think role playing and humour functions as a tool for my art in the same way it does in my life. It can be used as a coping mechanism. It can break the tension. I’m hoping that when people come and view these works that they do have a chuckle and think about what’s so funny, because within that entangled is the concepts of the work." – Salote Tawale‘sis’ is a term of familiarity and endearment used throughout the Pacific, and the exhibition ‘sis: honours and celebrates the work and stories of women artists from across the Pacific. ‘sis’ offers a deeper understanding of the contribution that our Pacific sisters make to the art of the region by redressing past wrongs and engaging in new conversations about the world and our place in it.SIS: PACIFIC ART 1980-2023https://www.qagoma.qld.gov.au/exhibition/sisWHEREGallery of Modern Art (GOMA)WHENRotation 2: 30 March 2024 - 25 August 2024 / 10.00AM - 5.00PMDELVE DEEPERhttps://blog.qagoma.qld.gov.au/tag/sis-pacific-art-1980-2023/Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA) Brisbane Australia © Queensland Art Gallery Board of Trustees, 2024https://www.qagoma.qld.gov.au#qagoma #caption #captioned #subtitles #subtitle
Fairy Tales: Behind-the-seams of the costumes from Mirror Mirror (2012) QAGOMA 2024-04-18 | QAGOMA conservator Dr Michael Marendy takes us behind-the-scenes of the exquisitely made costumes from Mirror Mirror (2012). The ‘Cream wedding dress’ costume worn by Julia Roberts as ‘Queen Clementianna’ is made from 70 metres of Dutch silk satin creating a multitude of overlapping petals and and vine tendrils from bodice to skirt, and because it is so large and heavy, required a remake of both the hoop petticoat and the soft covering before it could go on display in ‘Fairy Tales’. Here we show you the preparation required to display these stunning costumes.The ‘Fairy Tales’ exhibition at Brisbane’s Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA) explores our fascination with this much-loved genre through a multifaceted telling of these tales in art, film and design. ‘Fairy Tales‘ unfolds across three themed chapters. ‘Into the Woods’ which explores the conventions and characters of traditional fairy tales alongside their contemporary retellings. ‘Through the Looking Glass’ presents newer tales of parallel worlds that are filled with unexpected ideas and paths. ‘Ever After’ brings together classic and current tales to celebrate aspirations, challenge convention and forge new directions.WHEREGallery of Modern Art (GOMA)WHEN2 December 2023 – 28 April 2024 / 10.00AM - 5.00PMDELVE DEEPERhttps://blog.qagoma.qld.gov.au/tag/fairy-tales/Tarsem Singh (director), India/United States b.1961Eiko Ishioka (designer), Japan 1938–2012Costumes from 'Mirror Mirror' (2012) installed in ‘Fairy Tales’, Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA), BrisbaneCarelli Costumes (costumier), United States est. 1982‘Cream wedding dress’ / Duchess silk satin, Swarovski crystals‘Rabbit suit’ / Silk, polyester, cotton, silk jacquard, synthetic fur, synthetic velvet, leather, rhinestones‘Wedding suit’ / Silk, cotton, synthetic, leather, rubber, plastic, metalTricorne Costumes (costumier), United States est. 2000‘Swan dress’ / Silk, synthetic tulle, plastic, metal, nylon, feathers, resin‘Wedding dress’ / Silk, synthetic, cotton‘Yellow dress with hood’ / Silk taffeta, polyester, nylon tulle, synthetic taffetaEric Winterling (costumier), United States‘Green dress’ / Silk, synthetic taffeta, nylon netting, plastic‘Peach dress’ / Silk, plastic, beads, rhinestones, cotton, polyesterCollection: The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, Los Angeles, Gift of Nico Soultanakis, 2013-2014Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA) Brisbane Australia © Queensland Art Gallery Board of Trustees, 2024https://www.qagoma.qld.gov.au#qagoma #fairytalesgoma #caption #captioned #subtitles #subtitle

Fairy Tales: Charles Blackman inspired by the visual imagery of Lewis Carroll QAGOMA 2024-03-02 | Charles Blackman first encountered 'Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland' (1865) and its sequel 'Through the Looking-Glass', and 'What Alice Found There' (1872) through his wife Barbara, a writer and poet whose progressive blindness led her to listen to recordings of the stories read by BBC announcer Robin Holmes. Inspired by the visual imagery produced by Carroll’s whimsical wordplay (rather than the book’s famous illustrations by John Tenniel, which the artist had not seen), Blackman began to draw parallels between Alice’s nonsensical and unpredictable encounters and the real-world challenges he and his wife faced as a young couple. In addition to Barbara’s failing eyesight, an impending baby and changes in their financial circumstances influenced the development of Blackman’s series of 41 paintings.Shown in ‘Fairy Tales’ are three works from the series: 'The Blue Alice' 1956, which sees Alice (Barbara) and the White Rabbit (Blackman) being wed by the story’s Dormouse; 'Feet beneath the table' 1956, which depicts a pregnant Barbara surrounded by cups and a teapot (in the vein of the ‘Mad Tea-Party’), melded with objects from Blackman’s working life as a short‑order cook; while 'Drink Me' 1956 draws a wry parallel between Alice’s encounters with liquids and the medicines prescribed to Barbara for pregnancy-related heartburn. The integration of the Blackmans’ personal experiences with those of Alice offers a whimsical transformation of the tale from fiction to reality.‘Through the Looking Glass’ — the second major theme of the 'Fairy Tales' exhibition — brings together art, film and design that embrace exploratory stories of fantastical parallel worlds.The ‘Fairy Tales’ exhibition at Brisbane’s Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA) explores our fascination with this much-loved genre through a multifaceted telling of these tales in art, film and design. ‘Fairy Tales‘ unfolds across three themed chapters. ‘Into the Woods’ which explores the conventions and characters of traditional fairy tales alongside their contemporary retellings. ‘Through the Looking Glass’ presents newer tales of parallel worlds that are filled with unexpected ideas and paths. ‘Ever After’ brings together classic and current tales to celebrate aspirations, challenge convention and forge new directions.WHEREGallery of Modern Art (GOMA)WHEN2 December 2023 – 28 April 2024 / 10.00AM - 5.00PMDELVE DEEPERhttps://blog.qagoma.qld.gov.au/tag/fairy-tales/Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA) Brisbane Australia © Queensland Art Gallery Board of Trustees, 2024#qagoma #fairytalesgoma #charlesblackman #australianart #australianartist #artaustralia #caption #captioned #subtitles #subtitle
The story of Fred Embreys wooden figures created in the early 1930s QAGOMA 2024-03-01 | Purchased by QAGOMA in 2020, the sculpture — known as 'Untitled ceremonial figure' c.1930s — is attributed to Fred Embrey (c.1874–1939), a notable figure in the history of Cherbourg Aboriginal Settlement and of Aboriginal performance and song in south-east Queensland. The sculpture is consistent in size, materials and finish to two figures confirmed to have been made by Fred Embrey that are held currently at Queensland Museum.This genre of figurative carving is without equal in south-east Queensland. The figure represents Djan’djari, mischievous guardian spirits who live in the forest on Kabi Kabi Country and surrounds. Carved figures such as this are artefacts of ceremony.

Fairy Tales: Little Red Riding Hood... a cautionary tale #shorts QAGOMA 2024-02-13 | Created in 1862, Gustave Doré’s captivating painting 'Little Red Riding Hood' was made originally as a wood-engraving for the fairy-tale publication 'Les Contes de Perrault (The Fairy Tales of Charles Perrault)', printed in 1697. Doré embraced the dramatic tension of Perrault’s original tale, depicting a young girl and the wolf, dressed in Grandma’s cap and nightgown, both beneath the bedcovers in the moment before he devours her.French aristocrat and author Charles Perrault tells the story of a young girl who meets a cunning wolf on the way to visit her ailing grandmother in the woods. Perrault wrote the story as a warning to young women tempted to stray from the safety of the path — a metaphor for the dangers of speaking to strange men in private.

Fairy Tales: Little Red Riding Hood... a cautionary tale QAGOMA 2024-02-12 | Created in 1862, Gustave Doré’s captivating painting 'Little Red Riding Hood' was made originally as a wood-engraving for the fairy-tale publication 'Les Contes de Perrault (The Fairy Tales of Charles Perrault)', printed in 1697. Doré embraced the dramatic tension of Perrault’s original tale, depicting a young girl and the wolf, dressed in Grandma’s cap and nightgown, both beneath the bedcovers in the moment before he devours her.French aristocrat and author Charles Perrault tells the story of a young girl who meets a cunning wolf on the way to visit her ailing grandmother in the woods. Perrault wrote the story as a warning to young women tempted to stray from the safety of the path — a metaphor for the dangers of speaking to strange men in private. According to Perrault, Little Red Riding Hood’s grisly death in his version is her own fault; naive girls should know better than to associate with beasts.

Rachel Mounsey captured the Black Summer bushfires of 2020 QAGOMA 2024-02-12 | Australian artist and photojournalist Rachel Mounsey captured the Black Summer bushfires that swept through her home, the remote coastal community of Mallacoota, on New Year’s Eve 2019. The fires raged across eastern Australia for months, burning millions of hectares of land and killing and displacing around three billion animals.Her images record the surreal otherworldliness of those days when the air was thick with particulate matter, soot and burnt leaves. The sky went black mid-morning, then everything took on a red, amber, even mustard glow. Holidaymakers and locals alike, beach towels wrapped over their mouths and noses, were evacuated by the Navy. In 'Mallacoota fires in the sky 3' (from ‘Mallacoota fires in the sky’ series) 2020, there is a sense that the end of the world may not be all that far away. Against the burnt dusty brown of water and sky, a group of children on Christmas holiday paddle the inlet — a plastic orange kayak signalling ‘emergency’ amid the uncanny stillness.DELVE DEEPER: https://blog.qagoma.qld.gov.au/tag/air/'Air' / 26 Nov 2022 – 23 Apr 2023 / Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA)THUMBNAIL DETAIL: Rachel Mounsey, Australia b.1975 / ‘Mallacoota fires in the sky 3’ (from 'Mallacoota fires in the sky' series) 2020 / Inkjet print on Canson Platine Fibre Rag paper / 100 x 150cm / Purchased 2021.

Trulee Hall discusses her work Witch House (Umbilical Coven) QAGOMA 2024-01-31 | Witches in fairy tales commonly live far away from towns and villages. Self-sufficient, they rarely choose to live with others. A witch’s home is often enchanted, filled with magical objects, ancient knowledge and power.Sculptor, painter and filmmaker Trulee Hall’s wonderfully theatrical Witch House (Umbilical Coven) 2023 revels in the power of witches and the positive aspects of non-conformity. Jet-black and precariously constructed, this dwelling is at once alluring and daunting. Inside is a video work combining elements of live action with stop-motion animation, featuring images of feminine energy, fertility and a seance.

Abdul Abdullah discusses his work Troubling the margins (from ‘Interloper’ series) 2022 QAGOMA 2024-01-25 | In fairy tales, many characters live by their wits rather than by the comforts of birthright and status. Often taking the form of an animal with human traits, they rely on their resourcefulness and trickery to create a life of adventure and reward.Australian artist Abdul Abdullah comments on ideas of ownership, place and belonging in the large-scale photograph 'Troubling the margins' 2022, from his ‘Interloper’ series. Majestic in size, Abdullah casts himself as the fox, a trickster figure in many fairy tales, seated among the chickens, comfortably laying claim to the hen house, an esky by his side. The work was inspired by Abdullah’s time in London, where he noticed a fox darting in and out of London alleyways as he passed by at night. The sense of being an unwanted presence at the urban margins struck a chord with Abdullah, whose practice looks closely at the way marginalised communities can become are targets for vilification.WHEREGallery of Modern Art (GOMA)WHEN2 December 2023 – 28 April 2024 / 10.00AM - 5.00PMDELVE DEEPERhttps://blog.qagoma.qld.gov.au/tag/fairy-tales/Abdul Abdullah, Australia b.1986 / Troubling the margins (from ‘Interloper’ series) 2022 / Digital print, made with the assistance of David Charles Collins / 162.5 x 130cm / © Abdul Abdullah / Courtesy: The artist and Yavuz Gallery, SydneyQueensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA) Brisbane Australia © Queensland Art Gallery Board of Trustees, 2024#qagoma #fairytalesgoma #abdulabdullah #contemporaryaustralianart #caption #captioned #subtitles #subtitle #MusicbedSync ID#MB01UZBAIBFGR5S
Fairy Tales/ Watch the time-lapse as Henrique Oliveira creates a gnarled & twisted woodland QAGOMA 2024-01-24 | Henrique Oliveira has transformed the ‘Fairy Tales’ entrance into a gnarled and twisted woodland. Corupira 2023 combines the key fairy tale themes of pathways and transformation alongside ideas of nature as a powerful and enchanting force. The work incorporates found tree branches, sustainably sourced plywood and strips of 'tapumes' veneer salvaged from construction sites in Brazil. The title stems from a Tupi-Guarani story, now widespread in Brazilian folklore, of a small, flame-haired forest-dweller, who misleads those trying to track him with his use of backward-facing footprints — a disorientating trick that soon sees his foe lost deep in the woods.

Queensland Premiere WINHANGANHA: A visual film poem by Jazz Money QAGOMA 2023-12-13 | On 26 January 2024, the Australian Cinémathèque screens the Queensland Premiere of WINHANGANHA, a powerful new film work by acclaimed Wiradjuri artist and poet, Jazz Money. The film was commissioned by the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia (NFSA) to demonstrate the potential of an archive to ask the difficult questions, to reflect and advance the dialogue, to bear witness to undeniable anguish, but also to act as the gateway to richer and more nuanced conversations. Across a two-year period working closely with the NFSA collection, Money sifted through and reflected on the institution's extensive collections of works made by and about First Nations Australian people. The result is a lyrical journey of archival footage and sound, poetry and original composition.WHEREAustralian Cinémathèque, Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA)WHEN26 January 2024 / 1.00PMDELVE DEEPERhttps://www.qagoma.qld.gov.au/cinema/program/winhanganhaQueensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA) Brisbane Australia © Queensland Art Gallery Board of Trustees, 2023#qagoma

Michael Zavros discusses his practice QAGOMA 2023-09-11 | Known for his extraordinary technical prowess, Michael Zavros has captivated audiences with his sumptuous realist renderings and surreal juxtapositions. Frequently engrossed in notions of quality and luxury, fashion and appearance, Zavros's idealised imagery has developed alongside Australia's pronounced turn to conspicuous consumption and aspirational individualism.‘The Favourite’ (24 Jun – 2 Oct 2023) profiles significant thematic explorations of the artist, including fashion magazines, European palaces, luxury cars, his children, Narcissus and still life, in addition to his self-portraits and reflections upon his heritage. It will survey 25 years of painting, sculpture, photography and video by this leading contemporary Queensland artist.Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA), Brisbane Australia © Queensland Art Gallery Board of Trustees, 2023 #QAGOMA #michaelzavros #contemporaryaustralianart #caption #captioned #subtitles #subtitle #irresistibleGOMA

These predecessors of modern museums were encyclopaedic in scope, with paintings and sculptures displayed alongside scientific instruments and preserved plants and animals. Within this framework tiny creatures such as insects and simple flowers became protagonists of still life paintings and beyond. What do these collections and paintings, as microcosms of the 17th century world, tell us today? We will consider the artwork of eX de Medici, whose exhibition ‘Beautiful Wickedness’ teems with moths, guns, and skulls, and critiques mechanisms of control and display.
