The contemporary craft of lacemaking will be showcased at Logan Art Gallery.
Australasian Contemporary Lacemakers will present InterLace at the gallery from March 17 to April 29.
The exhibition is designed to raise awareness about contemporary lace making practices in Australasia.
This is one of four new exhibitions which will open at Logan Art Gallery on March 17.
Natalya Hughes has showcased her interest in the role of women and their historical absence from positions of power in The Interior which is a travelling exhibition organised by Institute of Modern Art, toured by Museums & Galleries Queensland.
The Interior exhibition features an immersive installation combining sculptural seating, richly patterned soft furnishings, 3D printed sculptures and a wall mural.
Browns Plains artist Icki Houseof is also among those whose work will be showcased in the coming round of exhibits.
His exhibition Whatever happens ... still happens uses abandoned objects and paitings found in thrift stores to create a series of new works through painting and assemblage.
Also included this round is the Workshop Wonders XXI exhibition featuring a selection of student works chosen from the gallery’s workshop program over the past year.
The annual exhibition is in its 21st year.
The InterLace and Whatever happens … still happens exhibitions are supported by the Regional Arts Development Fund which is a partnership between the Queensland Government and Logan City Council to support local arts and culture in regional Queensland.
City Lifestyle Chair Councillor Laurie Koranski said there are fascinating elements within the new round of exhibitions.
“There is something of interest to everyone from amazing textile creations to the way discarded objects have been repurposed to create new artworks,” Cr Koranski said.
“I encourage the community to come along and view these exhibits and learn the stories the artists are telling us.”
Contemporary lacemakers Vicki Taylor and Lindy de Wijn will host an artists’ talk from 5.30pm on Friday, March 17.
This exhibition round will then be opened at 6pm.
Bookings for the opening can be made on the Loganarts website.
The gallery, on the corner of Jacaranda Ave and Wembley Rd, Logan Central, is open Tuesday to Saturday (10am to 5pm). Entry is free.
