Cities as Performative Spaces... a gallery of sorts...

I’ve chosen to create a gallery of sorts for the creative space of Brisbane. As a quickly growing city, Brisbane has become a mix of old and new, fashion and tradition, dirty and clean and is ever changing. Brisbane is a performance space. The creative are joined in mixed media, fashioning a city of colour and light, and experience. I believe this is proper response to the subject of "Cities as Performative Spaces". Below are some samples of Brisbane as a creative space.


Traffic Light Boxes:

Throughout Brisbane, the public are invited to dress up those plain green boxes next to the traffic lights. The response has been enormous, with professional artists, schools and just about anybody with a paint brush taking on the challenge. Here are some of my favourites.

The Powerhouse:

Another example of locals gettin' creative. Used as a performance space, the building itself is a landmark of the infamous graffiti style.

Suncorp Stadium:

Brisbane sporting scene’s pride and joy. A fine example of modern architecture and host of many concerts and events.





Doggett St Studio:
One example of the emerging Brisbane creative scene. Doggett St Studio has a vault of information for artists and enthusiast in relation to all the creative happenings in Brisbane.
