Carbon_Dating at Redland Art Gallery

The Carbon_Dating  exhibition presents a series of artwork-based experiments that aim to generate interest in Australia’s often endangered native grasses. The exhibition tracks how the project assembled six teams of scientists, artists, growers and First Nations informants across Queensland from Miles, Gold Coast, Somerset, Samford Valley, Sunshine Coast and Cairns during 2022-23 to grow and care for their own plot of native grasses.

Artists exhibiting include Delissa Walker Ngadijina, Jason Murphy, Pipier Weller, Merinda Davies, Hilary Coulter, Liz Capelin, Melissa Stannard, Kilagi Nielsen, Mia Hacker, Sasha Parlett, donna davis, Andrea Higgins, Danielle Constance, Luke Lickfold and Keith Armstrong.

The 2024-25 Carbon_Dating exhibition tour is supported by the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland, assisted by QUT School of Creative Practice, International Art Services (IAS), Native Seeds Pty Ltd, Artfully and Embodied Media.
