Platform 2013

Overview

Platform 2013, a celebration of the works of artists in the Australia and Asia Pacific region, will once again be bringing together installation and large-scale artworks. The exhibition forms part of the Metro Arts annual Galleries Program, in partnership with Metro Arts and Jan Manton Art.

This year’s showcase will include the works of Brisbane-based artists, Judith Wright (from her ongoing series Destination), Carl Warner (and his large-scale, urban landscape photographic works), Shayle Flesser (with her depictions of living creatures and the ‘landscape’ of the human body), Indonesian-born artist Jumaadi (presenting 13 figurative bronze sculptures), and Chinese artist Miao Xiaochun (with his video works Restart and Disillusion forming one of the highlights of the exhibition).

The exhibition will be officially opened by Paul Spiro, partner at Gadens Lawyers, on August 15. Tours will be available on Thursdays throughout the exhibition, hosted by curator Jan Manton.
