Noosa Regional Gallery and Noosa Council have announced the opening of a new exhibition that celebrates the diversity of creative collaborations on the Sunshine Coast.
Known Associates opens to the public on Saturday 14 October after an official opening event scheduled for the evening of Friday 13 October.
Exploring the power and richness of partnership in creating art, the exhibition highlights current collaborative practices between artists and explores the possibilities of working together towards a shared outcome.
“Most artists I know crave connection with like-minded creatives,“ Curator and Noosa Regional Gallery Director Michael Brennan said.
“This exhibition was an opportunity to bring together artists who are known to have practices in their own right, but who have also teamed up with a creative partner.“
Setting out to interrogate and celebrate creative collaboration across the Region, Known Associates features Courtney Scheu and Itamar Freed; Eco Trio (Rosie Lloyd-Giblett, Yanni Van Zijl and Helena Jackson Lloyd); Ketakii Jewson-Brown and Shaye Hardisty; Mia Hacker, Brian Warner and Kilagi Nielson; Studio 26 (Brady Cooke, Petalia Humphreys, Jaime Kiss, Jack Macrae, Alex Walker and Prita Yeganeh); and Tamara Kirby and Corrie Wright.
Across six purpose-built spaces within the Gallery, the exhibition will see shared ideas intertwined. While actively engaging the audience in some parts, Known Associates blends the vision of artists and audiences alike into unique evolutions of meaning and experience.
Known Associates will run from 14 October to 26 November 2023. Entry to the event is free. Visit: noosaregionalgallery.com.au
Join us for the official opening event at the Gallery on Friday 13 October from 5.30 – 7.30pm. Free tickets are available via the website.
