BEAUT19

Beaut

26 April — 5 May 2019

Opening Reception: 26 April 2019, 6 - 9pm

Brisbane and Elsewhere Art UnTriennial present BEAUT19.

Embracing the legacy of the Asia Pacific Triennial in Brisbane, BEAUT activates the Brisbane artistic community to host and engage with local, national and international artists and artist run initiatives, and consists of exhibitions, a publication, and public programming.

BEAUT19’s curatorial premise emphasises the principles of presence, convergence, and resistance, offering a localised accompaniment to QAGOMA’s APT9, favouring interstate and international collaboration. Embracing the resilience of the grassroots arts community as well as reflecting the institutional investment in the arts in Brisbane, BEAUT will showcase local artists and ARIs alongside their national and international peers from the Asia-Pacific region.

Please visit www.beautart.org for further information on artists, Brisbane artist run initiatives (ARIs) and satellite shows as part of the Brisbane and Elsewhere Art UnTriennial.
