Join us for an informative talk from Ellie Buttrose Curator of Contemporary Australian Art at the Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA); Curator of the 2026 Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art at the Art Gallery of South Australia; and Curator of ‘Archie Moore: kith and kin’ at the Australia Pavilion, 2024 Venice Biennale, which received the Golden Lion for Best National Participation.

Her recent curatorial projects at QAGOMA include: Living Patterns 2023 that featured artists who use abstraction as both a political and formal device; Embodied Knowledge 2022 a survey of contemporary Queensland art co-curated with Katina Davidson; Work, Work, Work 2019 that examined the intersection of civic and artistic labour; and Limitless Horizon: Vertical Perspective 2017, which reconsidered the impact of drone vision on contemporary art through First Nations and East Asian painting traditions.

Directions:
