SHAPE of Things to Come: The Anniversary Show
QUT's newly minted breed of artists, designers and creatives look to the future and nod to the past.
Overview
Want to know what the future of art and design looks like? Just look to the present. No, don’t worry, we don’t think that times won’t change. What we do think is that today’s students are tomorrow’s innovators — because they are.
QUT’s aptly titled annual SHAPE of Things to Come exhibition clearly thinks so too, showcasing the university’s most recent graduating class. The Creative Industries Faculty’s newly minted breed of artists, designers and other imaginative folks show their best work, and there’s plenty of it. Spanning acting, fashion, architecture, interactive and visual design, and visual arts, 2015’s batch of people with a fresh bachelor’s degree know their stuff.
This year, an anniversary is in the spotlight, with the annual event making it to the big one-zero. That means the future isn't the only topic of contemplation, but the past. Yes, the latest cohort of creatives will be on display; however they'll be sharing space with SHAPE alumni to give a well-rounded look at how the past ten years of artistry just might influence things to come.
