PIECES usually on show at Redland Art Gallery are now being exhibited in Brisbane galleries and museums.
A Redland City Council spokesperson said award-winning work by artist Carol McGregor, called black seeds, had been loaned to the Museum of Brisbane for its Taste Like Sunshine exhibition.
“Black seeds, created with possum skins, cotton, ochre, ash and resin, took out the 2016 Redland Art Awards’ local environment prize,” the spokesperson said.
Tastes Like Sunshine, which is on until November 12, explores Brisbane City’s food story through contemporary art, personal stories, historical documents and images.
Two garments acquired by RAG, created Indigenous artists Hannah Gutchen and Hannah Bronte, had also been loaned to the Queensland Art Gallery.
The garments are displayed as part of the Time and Tides: Art in the Torres Strait Islands, Queensland exhibition, which is on until August next year.
The spokesperson said the Redland Performing Arts Centre was also a temporary home to RAG’s seven Pacific Islander works.
These included three textiles, two bilums and two prints.
The pieces are on show as part of RPAC’s Wantok Melanesian Display, which is on until September 30.
