Body+

The shape of things to come in art and design

 

At first glance, the delicately printed fabric seems innocuous enough, but look closer and it's actually an x-ray of human pelvis.

 

Hannah Gartside's 'Hands On' collection is one of a diverse range of works scrutinising the human form in Body+: The shape of things to come 08, opening at The Block (Creative Industries Precinct ) on Tuesday 26 February.

Body+ brings together an eclectic mix of the best of Brisbane's emerging designers and artists in the second annual 'shape of things' exhibition.

 

Works are drawn from the cream of the 2007 graduates of QUT's Creative Industries and Built Environment and Engineering faculties, with everything from fashion and animation to architecture and industrial design on display.


Join us on opening night from 6pm on 26 February at The Block, or find out more at www.ciprecinct.qut.com

The Danger Age

Opens 28 Feb
Tickets from $25

It’s 1942 and, in the small town of Kalbarri in Western Australia, there’s a little boy with a lot on his mind. John’s asthma is making him a target at school, his mum is having it off with the Japanese doctor and his only friend is an Aboriginal girl called Albert.

But all these problems pale into insignificance when, on his tenth birthday, John receives a disturbing phone call from the President of the United States! With his ragtag army of misfits, he sets about saving Kalbarri from destruction. A playful parable for our time from Australia’s hottest young playwright.
