A bunch of bright-eyed and fresh-faced graduating students from the Queensland College of Art have been working tirelessly of late, all in preparation for an upcoming collaborative exhibition.
The exhibition will explore the metaphorical connotations of the archaic term ‘tenterhooks’, whilst creating a debate between traditional and contemporary art practices. Tensions between established art frameworks and the risqué will be questioned in this show, which will include two-dimensional drawings, prints, photography and paintings, as well as video, installations and performance art.
Tenterhooks will showcase work from eighteen emerging Brisbane artists: Kim Anderson, Nicola Campbell, Charlie Donaldson, Caitlin Franzmann, Ben Havenaar, Ben Higgins, Brianna Hopper, Alicia Lane, Tor Maclean, Angelica Roache-Wilson, Karl Shoobridge, Melanie Simpson, Kylie Spear, Maya Walker, Greta Waring, James Warren, Jennie Wright and Yasmin Zuvuya.
This is a great opportunity to experience the cutting edge of the Brisbane emerging visual art scene, and to support the city’s forthcoming artists.
