Exchange Value
Showcasing illuminating and thought-provoking photography from around the world.
Overview
Peer into worlds you mightn't look at otherwise at QUT Art Museum's latest exhibition. Focusing on documentary photography, this showcase is all about examining society's fringes — whether snapping London's skinhead subculture in the 70s, stepping into Egyptian neighbourhoods during the Arab Spring, exploring the minutiae of mental treatment facilities and delving into Brisbane's 90s club scene.
Displaying until Sunday, April 28, Exchange Value features 11 Australian and international photographers, all of whom bring thought-provoking and illuminating pieces to the Art Museum's walls. Among the artists included are Queensland's own Kim Guthrie, Mick Richards, Leah King-Smith and Raphaela Rosella; Gavin Watson and Simon Terrill from the UK; and Bieke Depoorter from Belgium.
While entry is free, the George Street venue is also offering a two-for-one deal — two exhibitions at the same time, that is. Displaying at the same time is In Focus: Blind Photography, which features work from nine international blind and partially sighted photographers.
