Step inside an exciting new residency project that invites you to experience art in unexpected ways.
Artist in Residence Renee Kire takes over the Museum of Brisbane’s entryway, transforming these spaces with a vibrant and dynamic mix of striking vinyl graphics and sculptural timber elements. These features create an immersive pathway that stretches across walls and ceilings, guiding you into the heart of the Museum.
Drawing inspiration from Minimalism while reinterpreting the movement through a contemporary feminist lens, Kire brings fresh attention to the often-overlooked contributions of women in the field. Bright, colourful and welcoming for all visitors, the artwork is both joyful and thought-provoking.
Responding directly to the architecture of the Museum, City Hall and the Brisbane cityscape, Kire’s design reveals unexpected connections between the built environment and abstract form. Repetition, rhythm and thoughtful details invite you to slow down, look closely and discover new perspectives.
This residency is an immersive visual art experience suitable for all ages, perfect for families looking to explore contemporary art in a welcoming environment. The installation is free to visit and does not require bookings, making it easy to fit into your day.
Visitors can expect to engage with large-scale vinyl graphics and timber sculptures that transform the museum’s entryway into a vibrant art space. The artwork encourages reflection on feminist themes and the role of women in art history.
