Overview

Wood, with its intricate beauty paired with its dynamic adaptability, is being celebrated by way of an exhibition at the Art Museum of QUT.

A house can be constructed, furnished, embellished and decorated with wood. It is as vital to our daily lives as it is enriching though beauty and reliability.

Architecture, design, and art across many planes are represented in the exhibition; the ways in which creatives engage with wood itself is a unique relationship, yielding one-of-a-kind creations. Not only are the physical creations on display, but represented are the attitudes and perspectives of the all-encompassing material, how we think about our consumption and production as users and creators.

The exhibition is made possible by the collaboration of JamFactory and the Botanic Gardens of Adelaide, both iconic South Australian companies. It is supported by Wood: Naturally Better as well as the Contemporary Touring Initiative.
