Overview
Courtney Coombs is no stranger on the Brisbane arts scene. In fact, as a curator, artist and co-director of local arts initiative LEVEL, she’s probably one of the first names that pops into mind at its mention. This year already she’s exhibited in Dirty Laundry at Hardgrave Park, In Pursuit of Magic at Melbourne-based Bus Projects, A Rose Is a Rose Is a Daisy at Cathedral Square, and Highflying at Highgate Hill Park.
Now she brings to West End’s Boxcopy her latest project: It’s Complicated. Utilising photography, moving image, installation, performance and found objects, It’s Complicated is the closing chapter of Coombs’ extended body of work investigating gendered engagements with the modernist canon. It uses humour, offers a scope into modern relationships, and gets down to the nitty-gritty of her fervent relationship with the history of Western modernism.
Courtney Coombs: It’s Complicated runs for a single weekend this Saturday and Sunday, with opening night Friday 12 at 6pm.
