A peek inside Renee Kire's studio πŸ‘€

We recently visited the studio of MoB Artist in Residence Renee Kire at Here Space where Renee is currently developing new works for her exhibition Up Down and All Around at Museum of Brisbane.

An early-career artist of Australian and Māori descent, Renee's practice is grounded in feminist art history, drawing inspiration from historically overlooked female artists and reimagining minimalist sculpture through a contemporary, gender-conscious lens.

🎸 Did You Know?

On 12 June 1976, The Saints entered Bruce Window Recording Studios in West End to record their debut single, (I'm) Stranded.

The rest, as they say, is history.

Today, we're at the Precious exhibition, joined by MoB's Brian Ogden and Eomer Sweet Rose, exploring the lasting influence of The Saints on Brisbane's music scene and their impact on Australian music, bands, and cultural tastes.

Through Precious collector Donat Tahiraj's unique Terry Murphy poster collection, we're tracing the stories, venues, artists, and moments that helped shape a musical legacy.

Come and check out Precious at Museum of Brisbane ✨
Free entry | 10:00am-5:00pm I 7 days a week
