'Multiculturalism, Tourism and Culturally Sensitive Design in Chinatowns' presents the work of Yanqiao Jiang, a current DVA candidate at the Queensland College of Art, Griffith University. Comprising of 27 individual pieces, the exhibition focuses on a variety of tactile typography letterforms created from a range of materials such as stitched paper, paper cutting, embroidery and bamboo sheets. The designs for the five separate typefaces are inspired by the distinctive folk arts and crafts from five Chinese indigenous tribes. Each set of letterforms are accompanied by photographs of the regions and crafts which inspired them. The works form part of a larger design project where the cultural elements are used to inspire a wider branding and signage project within Southport Chinatown. Image Credit: Louis Lim.

02.01.2022 OPEN AT POP GALLERY: VESTIGE This exhibition is part of Master of Arts in Visual Art (MAVA) graduate Jacques van der Merwe’s exploration into the relationship between the fragile nature of the body and the fading of memory. These works form a connection between the figure and the trace through the duration of time. They request viewers to consider the significance of forgetting and being in the now.... Some of these works draw from Marc Augé’s, the three forms of forgetting, Return, Suspense and Re-beginning. Requesting the audience to revisit to the work to experience the slow deterioration of the human form as the oscillating water in the glass containers have impact on the plaster of Paris, cottonwool, and bandages as medium. In turn, we become conscious of our transitory nature as humans and the value of forgetting. This is achieved through the trace, following theories of Aby Warburg, Walter Benjamin, and Georges Didi-Huberman. Jacques van der Merwe's art explores the human condition through various mediums including drawing, painting, video, and sculpture. Working in materials such as plaster of Paris, wax, water, and bandages, he is particularly interested in the fading of memories, traces, entropy, and the immigration process. ________________________________________________ Exhibition Dates: 10 - 19 September Opening Times: 10am to 4pm, Tuesday - Saturday Where: POP Gallery, 381 Brunswick Street, Fortitude Valley, 4006
