ISLANDS IN THE STREAM
+
EAST SIDE STORY
BY IGOR GRUBIC
-----------------------
OPENING 15th July, 7PM
EXHIBITION 16th - 31st July.
Brisbane Powerhouse, Turbine Room.


PARTICIPATING ARTISTS: Kati Cubby, Holly Fluxx, Warren Gracie, Okapi Akimbo, Jackson Monster Nighttime Power, Corey Pugh + Igor Grubic.
CURATED BY: Vivian Ziherl.

An exhibition of cultures of protest and queer radicality presented as a visual art program of Museum of Brisbane's 'Prejudice & Pride'.

Familiar to warehouses, squats and other informal spaces, ‘Islands in the Stream’ is the first institutional exhibition of work by six young radically queer and transgender artist/activists all with shared histories in Brisbane.

Featuring works such as ‘Boys are Cheats and Liars’ (video) and ‘I’m a F**n Clone (After Ryan Trecartin)’ (textile), the exhibition registers a note of the personal and the regional from within a transglobally networked, radically post-identity politics movement.

Accompanying ‘Islands in the Stream’ is a double-channel video piece by Croatian artist Igor Grubic that takes footage of violent citizen reactions to the first gay-rights marches in Belgrade (2001) and Zagreb (2002) as a choreographic text.


Exhibition suitable for audiences aged 18 and over.
This project has been supported through a Creative Sparks Grant, a joint initiative of Brisbane City Council and the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland.
