To Nov 22 BRUTALIST / Baroque by Donalee Moriarty and Nicolette Johnson – the influences of Brutalist and Baroque styles can be seen in the ceramic practices of these two local artists. Moriarty’s work draws on modernism and restrained geometry, embracing the integrity of clay. In contrast, Johnson creates romantic, stylised forms that evoke history, symbolic meaning, and beauty that evokes the sublime. Despite their contrasting approaches, the artists’ practices run parallel and complement one another, creating a dialogue that highlights the intrinsic qualities of each other’s work.

To Nov 29 Ian Friend: The Noise of Time – spanning more than 30 years of Friend’s practice, from Une violente aventure sentimentale (A Tempestuous Love Affair), 1993–4, to works created in his Ipswich studio in 2026. Shaped by literature, poetry, philosophy, music, and landscape, the exhibition reflects youthful energy tempered by life experience. Drawn from the artist’s own holdings and public and private collections, the exhibition includes loans from major Australian institutions, including Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art, Redcliffe City Art Gallery, Redland Art Gallery, University of the Sunshine Coast Art Gallery, Art Gallery South Australia, QUT Art Museum, and Ipswich Art Gallery.
