Launch of Deb Mostert: Nature and Culture - animal as object & Highlighting the Collection – Wendy McGrath-Lakeland

Join us to celebrate two wonderful exhibition launches for Deb Mostert and Wendy McGrath-Lakeland.

Nature and Culture – animal as object

Based on years of observation and research within the bird and mammal collections at the Queensland Museum, this body of work by Deb Mostert seeks to explore the objectification of animals in nature through taxidermy, and in culture through the souvenir. We have, and are creating, facsimiles and profiting from these copies despite the real risk of losing the originals.

Highlighting the Collection – Wendy McGrath-Lakeland

A recent gift to the Sunshine Coast Art Collection, this collection of works represents Wendy McGrath-Lakeland’s multi-disciplinary practice of painting, photography, printmaking and site-specific installations, that speak to the experience of history and the embedded memory of landscape.

Enjoy delicious canapés and live music.
