Bright, colourful and welcoming for all visitors, the artwork is both joyful and thought-provoking.Responding directly to the architecture of the Museum, City Hall and the Brisbane cityscape, Kire's design reveals unexpected connections between the built environment and abstract form. Repetition, rhythm and thoughtful details invite you to slow down, look closely and discover new perspectives.MoB's Artist in Residence program is supported by Tim Fairfax AC.Museum of Brisbane is Brisbane City Council's leading history and art museum where you can experience our city's vibrant culture.
