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. They're also considered adorable by some and a pest by others. That'd be the humble rabbit — and for two weeks between Friday, March 13–Sunday, March 29, the floppy-eared creatures will be taking over Eagle Street Pier in a giant, inflatable and illuminated way.

That's when Amanda Parer's eye-catching Intrude is popping up at the CBD spot, with the Australian artist's installation featuring six seven-metre-tall bunnies that'll tower over the riverside. 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 first time the installation has come to Brisbane, so 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 from 12–9pm.
