Recent acquisitions for the City of Logan art collection will be featured in the latest exhibitions which open at the Logan Art Gallery tonight.
Three new exhibitions will be on display until September 7. Admission is free.
The exhibitions include:
* Recent acquisitions: Highlights from the Logan Art Collection features a selection of paintings, sculptures and contemporary photography.
* Natasha Narain: Purpose – re-purpose is an immersive installation which interweaves bold and textual paintings with repurposed furniture and porcelain dolls.
In the Young Peoples Gallery, Natasha has designed a series of books specifically for a young audience referencing ideas of nurturing, intimacy and memory.
* Physical video is a Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art touring exhibition. It features examples of video art from the 1970s to the present day.
The new exhibition program features a range of events and activities which provide a further insight into the works on display.
Natasha will host an artist’s talk from 5.30pm to 6pm tonight on her exhibition.
She will also host a workshop at the gallery on Saturday, August 24, from 10am to 3pm.
It will focus on incorporating dolls with art techniques including drawing, pattern-making, painting, wrapping, collaging and sewing.
An informal tour through the new exhibitions will be held from 10am on Friday, August 9.
