LOVE...more than a four letter word

Overview

It's a question that not only resounds in one of the catchiest cheesy dance tunes of the early '90s, but features in one of Saturday Night Live's most popular skits of the period. "What is love?" Haddaway asked, and Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan bopped their heads along to — and you've pondered yourself as well.

So have the group of emerging, established and significant Australian artists who've contributed to LOVE...more than a four letter word, Caboolture Regional Art Gallery's contemplation of the topic. The almost two-month-long exhibition offers a range of thoughts, feelings and interpretations of passion, affection, adoration and devotion in all its forms.

That's not all the sentiment-focused showcase does, though — it also displays both historical and contemporary artworks made in a variety of media to trace, dissect and understand how artistic notions of love have changed over time. Yes, it's the kind of gallery trip you'll want to make with your nearest and dearest, and with a love-themed Spotify playlist to listen to.
