What to Expect
Step inside an exciting new residency project that invites you to experience art in unexpected ways. Renee Kire transforms the Museum of Brisbane’s entryway with striking vinyl graphics and sculptural timber elements, creating a vibrant and dynamic pathway. This immersive installation stretches across walls and ceilings, guiding visitors into the heart of the Museum.
Drawing inspiration from Minimalism and reinterpreting it through a contemporary feminist lens, Kire’s work highlights the often-overlooked contributions of women in art. The bright, colourful, and welcoming artwork is both joyful and thought-provoking, perfect for visitors of all ages.
Responding to the architecture of the Museum, City Hall, and the Brisbane cityscape, the design reveals unexpected connections between the built environment and abstract form. Visitors are invited to slow down, look closely, and discover new perspectives through repetition, rhythm, and thoughtful details.
