Courtney Coombs
Field of Vision
9 November 2019–8 February 20209 Nov 2019–8 Feb 2020
IMA Belltower at the Judith Wright Centre of Contemporary Arts
#IMABelltower
After an open call for applications across Queensland, Courtney Coombs has been selected to exhibit as part of the IMA Belltower program.
Field of Vision presents new works which engage with the horizon as a starting point, and a metaphor, for discussing the human condition—specifically connection, disconnection, and longing.
As an artist, writer and facilitator, Coombs adopts an array of materials, mediums and approaches to present subjective, vulnerable, and earnest moments. By responding to the cis-heteronormative, patriarchal, and neoliberal structures of both the art world and society more broadly with gestures and propositions, they hope to disrupt dominant narratives, prompting conversation, reflection, and a celebration of difference.
Field of Vision will re-open after summer break, Tuesday 21 January.
IMA Belltower at the Judith Wright Centre of Contemporary Arts is supported by the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland and this exhibition and artwork projection opportunity is generously supported by The Cove, Newstead.
