Making Place: 100 Views of Brisbane

Museum of Brisbane delves deep into its collections for the fascinating, free exhibition, Making Place: 100 Views of Brisbane, showing until July 30, 2023. 

Making Place presents multiple artist perspectives on the changing nature of our city with more than 100 historical and contemporary depictions of the Brisbane region.

An immersive sound artwork by Brisbane composer, artist and curator, Lawrence English, will add even further layers of storytelling to the experience, while a dynamic installation by artist Jenna Lee looks at the dual impact of colonisation and development’s historic and ongoing impact on environment and language.

Visitors are invited to explore the city’s ever-changing places through new eyes, from the past, to the present and into the future as Making Place poses the question ‘What makes a place?’

Which sites are significant for individuals and communities and why? Are the landmarks we recognise as characterising the city today, the same landmarks we’ll see in the future? And can memories make a place?

Artists featured in Making Place: 100 Views of Brisbane include Judy Watson, Richard Randall, Noel McKenna, William Bustard, Vida Lahey, Jane Grealy, Danie Mellor, Kenneth Jack, Sam Fulbrook, Charles Lancaster, Robert Brownhall, Margaret Olley, Stephen Nothling, Margaret Cilento, Lloyd Rees, Paul Davies, Mia Boe and more.
