The Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA) is touring an exhibition of works by leading Australian contemporary artist Patricia Piccinini at the Toowoomba Regional Art Gallery from 13 November.
Patricia Piccinini: Curious Affection has been on tour to six regional Queensland centres from early 2020, with the final exhibition stop preparing to open in Toowoomba this week.
The exhibition invites audiences to think about their place in a world where advances in biotechnology and digital technologies blur the lines between human, nature and the artificial world.
The artist’s fascination with these boundaries and relationships led The New York Times to describe her creations as ‘sculptures of life forms that don’t exist’ – her lifelike hybrid creatures seamlessly blend human, animal and machine elements to reveal life forms that are extraordinarily familiar.
Patricia Piccinini: Curious Affection On Tour will show until February 2022. The Toowoomba Regional Art Gallery at 531 Ruthven Street is open Tuesday to Saturday 10.30am to 3.30pm and Sundays 1 to 4pm. Entry is free.
