About

Book for the lecture-only component of our monthly Lunch & Lecture.

Hear from Ellie Buttrose, Curator, Contemporary Australian Art, QAGOMA for an introduction to ‘Living Patterns: Contemporary Australian Abstraction’.

Learn about contemporary Australian artists who use abstraction as a device to make meaning through the use of patterns, ornamentation and abstract forms that manifest in everyday life and across cultures. Featuring experimental artworks, sculptural investigations and illuminating installations, ‘Living Patterns’ explores scientific ideas around perception and emotive reactions to colour, shape and form.
