Artist in Residence: Renee Kire
Step inside an exciting new residency project that invites you to experience art in unexpected ways.
Artist in Residence Renee Kire takes over Museum of Brisbane's entryway, transforming these spaces with a vibrant and dynamic mix of striking vinyl graphics and sculptural timber elements, creating an immersive pathway that stretches across walls and ceilings, guiding you into the heart of the Museum.
Drawing inspiration from Minimalism while reinterpreting the movement through a contemporary feminist lens, Kire brings fresh attention to the often-overlooked contributions of women in the field. Bright, colourful and welcoming for all visitors, the artwork is both joyful and thought-provoking.
Responding directly to the architecture of the Museum, City Hall and the Brisbane cityscape, Kire's design reveals unexpected connections between the built environment and abstract form. Repetition, rhythm and thoughtful details invite you to slow down, look closely and discover new perspectives.
The sculptural timber elements will be co-created with the community through a series of hands-on workshops—stay tuned to MoB Mail for workshop announcements.
MoB's Artist in Residence program is supported by Tim Fairfax AC.
