Join QUT Galleries and Museums Engagement Officer, Renae Belton on a tour of <a href="https://www.artmuseum.qut.edu.au/whats-on/exhibitions" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Minefield: The Art of Mona Ryder </a>at QUT Art Museum. Queensland-based artist and QUT alumnus Mona Ryder has been a significant figure in the Australian art scene since the 1980s, known for her evocative and subversive works. Described as ‘dangerous’, ‘raucous’ and ‘darkly tragic’, her work often appropriates household objects to create bold sculptural assemblages. Incorporating unique materials and emotionally charged imagery, her practice explores themes such as domestic agitation, gender roles, memory, and social and political structures. Ryder’s work is held in collections throughout Australia, including the National Gallery of Australia, and she has exhibited nationally and internationally, including at the Biennale of Sydney. This exhibition will survey Ryder’s prolific output that spans almost five decades. It is the first Queensland survey of the artist’s work since UQ Art Museum’s exhibition in 1984.<a href="https://www.artmuseum.qut.edu.au" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">artmuseum.qut.edu.au</a> Image credit: Mona RYDER Buzz by himself and pool (detail) 1990, synthetic polymer paint on canvas.
