Chris and I attended the Heavy Weights: International Works on Paper from the Collection exhibition at QUT Art Museum on opening day to see works from Sol LeWitt, Joan Miro and Auguste Rodin. According to QUT, many of the works had never been exhibited before.
The QUT Garden Point Campus runs adjacent to the City Botanical Gardens in the Central Business District (commonly known at CBD). Although we have often strolled through campus, it was our first time visiting the Art Museum which is tucked in the basement of a brick campus building. It’s a small space that features two galleries.
I’ve always been drawn to paper, especially collage. So when I saw Tenth sonnet by Joe Tilson one of the many postcard racks in local cafes and arts venues, I immediately picked it up. Seeing his Tenth sonnet full size at Heavy Weights was a treat.
Chris’ favourite work was Sol LeWitt’s series Linocuts (above) that were produced in 2006 and purchased in 2007 by the Art Museum. My favourite work was Promentory by Alan Jones although I also enjoyed Eduardo Paolozzi‘s multi-coloured prints.
