Seven With Another: Retrospective

Great minds think alike.

Overview

A pair of creatives, seven times over; Seven With Another is a matching of innovative minds across many disciplines—film, photography, painting, architecture, performance, and so on—with the intention of creating something unique; something different.

A mighty challenge; the creative process involves entirely different processes which are bound to surprise and inspire. It coaxes artists in many forms to look past their individual perspectives and habits to work with another person, stripping back the exercise to the lowest common denominator: pure creation.

The collaborations can take any form, limited only by an imagination doubled by the professionals. Mathematicians meet mimes, writers pair with acrobats, painters build houses and dancers break through photographs. The parameters lie only within the walls of Brisbane’s Powerhouse, which will never be seen in the same light again.

Seven With Another is an initiative in its third year, boasting the inclusion of 98 artists and 49 works, as well as a reputation for artistic endeavours like no other.

As they say, great minds think alike.
