Transplantation

Overview

It is hard to deny that the UK is a pretty important part of our history. While the Poms like to lay it on thick with the sledging, saying that we are simply their former convicts and cast-offs, we have grown to become a stand-alone country in our own right, with our own culture and unique traits (as well as comparable sporting prowess, ha ha ha).

Regardless, there are a lot of things the UK and Australia share, and the latest exhibition at Griffith University’s QCA Gallery examines how cultural, familial and artistic transplantation has taken place throughout the years.

Bringing together artists from both sides of the pond, Transplantation, explores the nature of this bond and how it impacts each artists worldview. Each work is a piece of ‘narrative jewellery’, describing the personal interpretation of each artist. This exhibition is on until February, so you still have plenty of time to check out these interesting pieces of work.
