Queensland Art Gallery displays water exhibition


From immersive experiences to small scale treasures from Australian and international artists, the Queensland Art Gallery is set to highlight environmental and social challenges regarding water usage.

Called ‘water’, the exhibition has plenty of activities and artwork to experience.

The art gallery will be running the exhibition from December 7 to April 26, 2020.

Artist Olafur Eliason contributed to the exhibition and created a vast, rocky riverbed that can be walked across.

Cai Guo-Qiang is another artist that created and contributed a display that shows animals drinking from a waterhole.

Concerned about water usage, ‘water’ curator Geraldine Kirrihi Barlow knew residents loved the gallery for its beauty.

“We know water is a really critical issue today,” she said.

Guided tours for the exhibition are available every day from December 9 and start at 11:00 am.
