See shiny metal in a different — and artistic — light.

Overview

As you're reading this, no matter what you've done today, you couldn't have done it without steel. If you ate something with a metal utensil, used a household appliance, or hopped on a bus or train, steel was involved. And that's just naming a few things.

Yes, steel is certainly functional — but, it an be artistic too. At STEEL: art design architecture, QUT Art Museum explores the innovative and creative ways the titular material can and has been used. And, as the name also makes plain, the exhibition focuses its gaze on the realms of art, design and architecture.

From industrial designers to jewellers, 29 different exhibitors are represented in this showcase of a substance that surrounds us on an everyday basis. It'll display at QUT's Gardens Point campus from February 17 to March 25, with admission free.
