Overview

Stepping through a door into an art gallery can sometimes seem like a very big hurdle. Are you cultured enough? Will you interpret the work correctly? Will you be judged by the artist and/or your peers?  Luckily, Metro Arts in Brisbane is running a year-long program called inbetweenspaces, which aims to change everyone’s opinion on the art world through a rotation of artists.

Starting June 22, the next artist to hold residence is Kieran Swann, who uses multidisciplinary forms to highlight his interest in how structures and process can transform and decay over time. He references a lot of entropy, language, construction and demolition, and masculine behaviour. For all those big words, what it comes down to is: Mr Swann likes examining how easy it is for things to break, be built again and how we choose.

So don’t be nervous about popping into inbetweenspaces next time you’re in Edward St. After all, interpreting art is a personal thing and you could always do the mysterious silent nod at each piece.
