Onespace now enters its third gallery iteration, all in post code 4101 – from Highgate Hill to West End, and now South Brisbane. Today, Onespace is uniquely located adjacent to Maiwar beneath the Spice Apartments near the Go Between Bridge.
The opening of riverine is a gallery-warming opportunity to celebrate Onespace’s beautiful new site at Kurilpa (the Turrbal word for the lands around South Brisbane meaning ‘the place of water rats’) and a chance for audiences to reacquaint themselves with some of the gallery’s represented artists.
Fittingly, water is central to the work of many of these artists—whether through form, process, culture, or concept—and these overlapping undercurrents invite audiences to shift their focus to the aqueous and to consider the metaphorical potential of thinking with water.
Coinciding with riverine in the main gallery is gliff, an exhibition by Col Mac in the lounge gallery. gliff explores the history of British painting, from the prehistoric Uffington white horse etched in chalk on an Oxfordshire hillside, to royal portraits, religious scenes, and still life formats.
