Third Plate Artist Run Initiative (ARI) had their debut exhibition at the Woolloongabba Substation, 45 Logan Rd, on Sunday, 8th February.
Figure 1 Alex Grady, wordsmith; Alice Thacker, installation; Claudia DeLuca, photographer; and Amy-Jean Mitchell, painter.
Claudia DeLuca shared some of her photos of crisp, clear spaces reflecting innocence.
Amy-Jean Mitchell exhibited oil on canvas paintings that, as Alex Grady said, “record the physical spaces made important through memory. The places are still there, but the moments exist only in memory until painted.”
Alice Thacker’s installation is of now uncommon handkerchiefs. They share a story of uncommon flirtation being, as Alex said, ” a secret code. … The same cloth that enacts the undetectable, unrecorded symbols, becomes tangible records of love through change.”
The exhibition reflects tenderness, resistance and love.
These three Brisbane artists, supported by family and friends, have visions of a much better world. They deserve our community’s support.
And the best thing is: There are many more jewels like them exhibiting in and around the Kurilpa peninsula.
