Amanda Parer: Intrude

Overview

They're undeniably cute and cuddly. They hop through fairy tales, cartoons, and play an important part in everything from Us to The Matrix franchise. They're also considered adorable by some and a pest by others. That'd be the humble rabbit — and for three weeks between Tuesday, March 29–Sunday, April 17, the floppy-eared creatures will be taking over Brisbane Quarter in a giant, inflatable and illuminated way.

That's when Amanda Parer's eye-catching Intrude is popping up at the CBD spot, with this iteration of Australian artist's installation featuring three big bunnies that'll tower over the precinct. The world-famous artwork is designed not only to glow, garner attention and look glorious, but also to get people thinking about rabbits, their environmental impact and the many contradictions surrounding the way they're regarded by society.

It's the second time that the installation has come to Brisbane, following a stint in 2020 — and expect it to be popular. Sky-high luminous bunnies will have that effect.

Entry is free and, if you don't want to be late for this very important date, the rabbits on display daily on Brisbane Quarter's Podium One at 300 George Street.
