Michelle Vine is a Brisbane-based interdisciplinary artist. This exhibition looks to her focus on the site of knowledge formation in biological science, in particular her research on German Naturalist Amalie Dietrich who travelled through Australia in the 1860s collecting botanical, zoological and ethnographic specimens.

Focus on the collection: Michael Cook

Foyer Gallery, Until August 9

In 2020 Australia observes 250 years since the first arrival of James Cook on the eastern coast of Australia. For many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, this occasion is a chance to reflect on the painful history of colonisation and its ongoing impact. Through my eyes are portraits of past Australian prime ministers paired with faces of anonymous Aboriginal subjects created by Bidjara photographer Michael Cook.
