Acknowledge

by Anneke Silver

With a rigorous investigation of landscape over an extensive period of time, Anneke Silver has recently sought to reconcile her own European sensibilities with traditional custodians of the land. This artistic conversation led to a quiet but powerful revelation of the ancient primacy of the landscape, which Silver explores within this body of work.

Entangle

by Marie-Louise Jones

After serving for eleven years in the Royal Australian Navy, Marie-Louise Jones was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). While serving in the First Gulf War, she experienced difficulties with the antagonistic attitudes from her male co-workers. Entangle seeks to create a conversation of awareness of PTSD in female veterans, and, hopefully, help others that have experienced this to seek help and support.

Please Take a Seat

by Lynn Scott-Cumming

This site-specific installation is designed to ask the audience to rethink how they view the world. The exhibition is an experiment with the power of words.

Pop Up North Queensland 2018 Update

 

We would like to give interested PUNQ participants an update on where we’re at with Pop Up North Queensland for 2018.

We still intend to continue the project alongside the Australian Festival of Chamber Music in July and August and even though the 2017 event was a success, unfortunately we haven’t yet had success in securing enough funding for this year’s event (sad face).
