Daniel Clifford: Nothing dumb
Nothing dumb transforms salvaged mid-century materials into playful works exploring family, communication and belonging. Through the use of familiar objects, Brisbane-based artist Daniel Clifford invites us to consider the systems we inherit, the identities we construct and the ways we learn to find our place within them.Working across installation, sculpture and site-responsive practice, Clifford explores the social, cultural and material conditions shaping urban and non-urban environments. His work often focuses on moments of transition and instability, where structures appear provisional, displaced or on the verge of collapse. A subtle tragicomic sensibility runs through his practice, bringing humour and unease together to reveal tensions and quiet absurdities in everyday experience.Opening Reception: Friday 9 October 2026, 5–7:30pm.Opening Hours:- Thursdays: 2–5pm- Fridays: 2–5pm- Saturdays: 2–4pm- By appointment

Admist the Jewels of Us - Day Series
Amidst the Jewels of Us, day series, features the original artwork of Jane Thompson, accompanied by the poetic voice of Veda Laferne and musical soundscape by Aiko Takahashi. Each painting is assigned to an hour of the day, inviting us to journey beyond what we know and what we think we can expect within the confines of our clock-driven day. Featuring 12 poems and artworks from 5am - 4pm (extracted from the 24 hour concept and publication "Amidst the jewels of us"), the exhibition seeks to guide you towards the hidden trails and teachings of our days, inviting you to linger, expand, and connect to a more natural pace of being. Opening event: Friday 5pm - 9pm (ticketed event, $15). Exhibition continues: Saturday 10am-4pm, Sunday 10am-2pm. Jane Thompson is a professional artist based in Brisbane/Meanjin who paints to express and connect with the dualistic nature of the every-day-visible and the felt-but-not-seen. Thompson approaches the canvas with a curious reverence for the unannounced, resulting in a spirited surrender to the way in which she uses her materials. Watered-down acrylics are invited to splash and wander rebelliously across the canvas, while oil sticks, graphite and thin lines of paint are applied in intuitive loops and iterations, resulting in abstracted bursts of energy. Her work transpires a felt desire to reconnect and nurture a relationship with the wild and natural, carrying the subtle impressions of a dreamer. Thompson also implements a daily writing practice to inspire and elevate the themes of her paintings. Her poetic expressions and accounts (written under the alias Veda Laferne and Jane) are as essential as the artworks themselves, where a resonant relationship can be felt between the two.

Open, Enclose by Shayle Flesser
A substantial new body of work from artist Shayle Flesser: Open, Enclose, spanning large-scale painting, collage, hand-built ceramic vessels and sculptural objects, opens at Emma Street Studio in Windsor, Brisbane this October. The exhibition is built around a conversation between painting and object. For Flesser, who studied both painting and ceramics, the return to working across the two feels like a coming home. Works have been developed alongside one another, with paintings and ceramic forms sharing colour, gesture and material sensibility while emerging through distinctly different processes. Open, Enclose is also a deliberate return. After years at the helm of A1 Frames and Emma Street Studio, immersed in art, interiors and the creative work of others, Flesser has turned her attention back to her own practice. What has emerged is some of the most raw, layered and unguarded work of her career. Flesser is an internationally exhibited artist whose work is held in private and public collections across Australia and internationally. She has lived and studied abroad and undertook a significant residency at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris. Open, Enclose is where those parts of her life converge: artist, maker, gallerist and business owner, returning with intent to the work that has been with her from the beginning. Open, Enclose launches in Emma Street Studio by invitation on Friday 30 October, followed by a public gallery day on Saturday 31 October. The works are available for acquisition. Take a trip to Windsor to see these exquisite pieces in person this October! The exhibition is held at Emma Street Studio, Unit 8, 104 Newmarket Road, Windsor.

Pat Hoffie: Artefacts from a bigger picture
Pat Hoffie: Artefacts from a Bigger Picture explores the gulfs between human connection and social alienation. Investigating the invisible currents that either bind us together or keep us fundamentally apart, Hoffie raises questions about the impact of our environments on collective empathy. Each monotype is a unique record of this gulf created through ink and paper, with painted and drawn interventions extending the hand printed surface. Intimate in scale, the works draw immense global circumstances into close proximity with the viewer. Images capturing the raw interdependence of people brought into close, visceral proximity sit alongside images reflecting the distance, isolation and mutual indifference of human interaction in modern public spaces. Across the body of work, dense, gestural passages sit in exchange with areas that feel cool and detached. Figures gather as clusters of inky marks, contained or divided by clean architectural lines. By bringing these contrasting realities together, Artefacts from a Bigger Picture shifts our attention beyond the immediate frame of each work to question the nature of human interaction and interdependence. Drawing on printmaking’s history as a form of political address, Hoffie asks whether an image can arrest our attention for long enough to consider our own place.

Works may explore how summer light affects landscapes, seascapes, urban environments, interiors, people, and objects.

PLEASE REFER TO THE EXHIBITION TERMS & CONDITIONS FOR MINIMUM FRAMING REQUIREMENTS. Artworks must be clean, dry and professionally finished before being delivered to the gallery. This includes cleaning the glass and wiping off any dust that may have accumulated while in storage, making sure the matt is not marked and frame is not damaged To download guidelines and view images please click here Painted Edges & Framed Works If works on stretched canvas are not framed the edges of the canvas must be cleanly finished. Artists may choose to paint the edge a single colour such as grey or a colour that complements the artwork, see Figure 1, or you may complete the artwork in the “round” as in Figure 2. In the “round” means to extend the painting around the edge of the canvas. Essentially, the edges should not have random marks, such as fingerprints or paint drips. D Rings Framed artworks and works on canvas (or otherwise mounted) must be ready to hang on the wall using medium or large sized “D” rings placed approximately 5-10cm from the top of the frame. Attach hooks facing upwards and on the outside of the canvas frame, as pictured in Figure 3. Wire or string is not required. However, if you would like to add wire or string, please see Figure 3. As you can see the wire is further down the canvas and is not attached to the top “D” ring. Squaring Up To determine if a rectangular or square canvas is “square” or “squared up”, measure the diagonal of the canvas/artwork, and it should be the same length both ways. Please refer to Figure 4. Foxing & Mould Foxing is an age-related process of deterioration that causes spots and browning and can appear as brown, yellow, or red stains on the paper or canvas. If it appears on an artwork mat, the work must be reframed with a new mat. If it appears on the canvas or paper, it must be treated and repainted, so it is not visible. Artwork Labels Clearly mark the artist’s name, contact details, the title of work, and price on an artwork label, to be placed on the back of the work. We need this information to easily identify your artwork before the exhibition labels (didactics) and catalogue are printed for the exhibition. Some artists choose to write this information on the back of the frame/canvas directly. You may also choose to include this on a removable/temporary label, or on a permanent label or “Certificate of Authenticity”. ENTRIES ARE NOW CLOSED.

Elysha Rei MAIN GALLERY | Paper Echoes
Exhibition Dates: 21 October – 21 November 2026. Opening Event: Wednesday 21 October, Artist Talk 5:30 – 6:15pm, Opening event: 6:30 – 8pm. Paper Echoes sees Rei returning to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, thirty-eight years after being born in Tabuk. Here, she revisits a landscape previously known to her only through photographs, documents, family stories and archival footage. Renowned for her meticulous hand-cut designs, Rei’s work investigates the intersections of memory, identity, and belonging through the versatile and delicate medium of paper. Through paper cutting, photography, video, scent and sound, Paper Echoes explores memory, inheritance and the connections between people and place. It asks how recognition can exist beyond conscious memory and how fragments of experience can reverberate across generations. Paper becomes both material and metaphor: a witness to lives recorded through passports, photographs, birth certificates and archives. Shaped by removal, preservation and chance encounters, the works consider what remains when memory is incomplete, and how inherited fragments can become part of a new, lived archive. Paper Echoes asks us what happens to experience as it passes from one person to another, what survives the processes of remembering and forgetting, and what fragments remain capable of reverberating decades later.

Petalia Humphreys LOUNGE GALLERY | Before The Object
Exhibition Dates: 21 October – 21 November 2026. Opening Event: Wednesday 21 October, Artist Talk 5:30 – 6:15pm, Opening event: 6:30 – 7:30pm. Gallery Walk Through: Saturday 7 November, 2 – 4pm. Petalia Humphreys presents, Before The Object, a collection of playful 2D and 3D architectonic paintings that trace the transition of an object from latent being to active becoming. Since the beginning of her art practice some 30 years ago, Humphreys has made abstracted objects, most recently using wood and housepaint – materials that might be at home on a building site, albeit potentially without the rosy pink hues used by Humphreys. She constructs these objects in different ways, with mitred angles, forming architectonic cubes, rectangles, hinged three-dimensional objects, and stools. Her creative process begins with a physical site or space, which she photographs and reiterates digitally before recreating its distilled essence as sculpture. The viewer may never know the original site or the extent of these translations but, by the time Humphreys’s sculptures in plywood appear in a gallery context, they have evolved into objects designed to stimulate engagement. They extend perceptions and experiences of space and place. In this way, the work enters a permeable space that is co-created – before the object – with its audiences.

Celebrating 70 years of creativity and innovation, the exclusive-to-Brisbane exhibition Make, Believe, Magic: The Worlds of The Jim Henson Company is an unprecedented exploration of world-building and imaginative storytelling. Founded by Jim and Jane Henson in 1955, The Jim Henson Company has created some of the most cherished characters in screen history and continues to revolutionise the art of puppetry for television and film.

Sorcerers from Bohemia: Picasso’s Saltimbanques
Sorcerers from Bohemia evokes the free-spirited world of the travelling circus performers, or saltimbanques, the subject of Pablo Picasso’s first major body of work in printmaking. La Suite des Saltimbanques is a series of 15 loosely related etchings and drypoints that mark a transitional moment in the young artist’s personal and artistic development. Created on the cusp of Picasso’s Blue and Rose periods, the works are intimately connected with his paintings and drawings of the same era, including the Gallery’s own La Belle Hollandaise of 1905. On moving to Paris in 1904, 22-year-old Picasso encountered a bohemian crowd of acrobats, jugglers and street performers, whom he sketched as they rehearsed and socialised together. His early depictions focus on the vulnerability and poverty of these itinerant figures, whereas later works pay homage to their strong social bonds and the freedom of their creative lives. Appearing individually and in groups, Picasso’s saltimbanques vary widely in age and fulfil a variety of roles, from clown and friend to mother and king. Ushering in a lifelong experimentation with printmaking, La Suite des Saltimbanques offers extraordinary insights into Picasso’s formative artistic concerns and the social milieu he inhabited at the time. In these sensitive and sympathetic portraits, he conveys the heft of a body, the texture of hair, a playful pose or a tender gesture with remarkable economy and elegance of line, ennobling figures who ordinarily existed on the fringes of society.

Towards a Collapsing World: German Expressionism
The early decades of the twentieth century witnessed an extraordinary moment in German art, as artists responded to a modern world in flux with works that engaged deeply with contemporary society, politics and culture. Towards a Collapsing World explores this period of significant cultural flourishing through a survey of works on paper by leading figures of German Expressionism. Rather than a single, unified approach, German Expressionism was characterised by a plurality of attitudes and styles, with artist groups such as Die Brücke (The Bridge) and Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider) forming and dissolving in response to fluctuating ideologies. Common to these disparate voices was a shared belief in the power of art to effect social change. The woodcut print became an important vehicle within German Expressionism, reviving a rich medieval heritage. Its stark, simplified forms, expressed through bold, flat patterns and raw aesthetic intensity, conveyed the inner turmoil and social critique of these expressionist artists with impassioned urgency.

Undying: Abdul-Rahman Abdullah
Abdul-Rahman Abdullah (born 1977, Dharawal/Port Kembla NSW) lives on a cattle farm on Bindjareb Nyoongar Country, Western Australia. Shaped by formative experiences as a "Muslim kid with mixed heritage", on his father's side he is a seventh-generation Australian descended from convict arrival in 1815, and on his mother's side, from Bugis and Minangkabau royalty in Malaysia. Abdullah's earliest influences growing up in inner-city Perth included comic books, fantasy novels, skateboarding, hip hop, a haunted family home, Sufism, boxing, and grunge, and "living a very grass-roots existence as a lo-fi creative kid in the 1980s and 1990s".

This exhibition represents a small sample of our teams’ favourite finds, the weird and whimsical, the cute and curious. We gratefully acknowledge the hundreds of donors who generously supported the QAGOMA Foundation’s Unlock the Collection campaign to digitise the Collection and make artworks more accessible and discoverable online including this diverse range of artworks, from small figures to small frogs.

Justene Williams: Once We Were Mudskippers
Spanning performative videos, sculpture, sound and installation from the past 20 years, including a wealth of new works, Once We Were Mudskippers emphasises the aesthetic ambition of Justene Williams’s expansive practice. Like the amphibious fish invoked by the exhibition’s title, which exist between worlds, Williams’s artworks are an amalgam of materials and approaches and remain grounded in art history while reflecting contemporary issues. Adopting a do-it-yourself strategy, Williams fuses disparate textures and concepts into compelling artworks that speak to her belief that our shared future can be forged with resources at hand and transformed by the imagination. Williams’s artworks address ideals of beauty, careerist and consumerist pressures, the strangeness of living in both the physical body and virtual space, and human connections to rituals and the afterlife. Once We Were Mudskippers is characterised by Justene Williams’s unwavering conviction that art is a world where artists and audiences can experiment and commune.

Great and Small
Animals have played a central part in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and spiritual beliefs for over 60,000 years. Native fauna form an integral part of relationships with Country, in community and are a foundation of economies, identity and sustainability. Over many millennia of co-existence animals have been central to survival as a food source; for First Nations people they are also absorbed into lore and culture as images of totemic power, and into the ancestral creation stories that link people, land and animals. Great and small is a celebration of these connections. Please note that the display will be closed to the public from 7-11 December for the Gallery to complete artwork rotation.
