An almost capacity crowd attended the first Friends of Fryer event for 2013, "Antarctica: Bravery in the landscape" last week.

The panel discussion, hosted in conjunction with the UQ Art Museum, focused on the artwork of Linde Ivimey. In particular, her sculptures of ice warrior figures, which are a striking feature of the Art Museum's current exhibition "If Pain Persists… Linde Ivimey Sculpture".

From UQ News:

Check out the latest Animal/Human exhibition at the UQ Art Museum. The exhibition, running until Sunday, July 22, presents a selection of works by contemporary Australian artists that explores our complex, contradictory and sometimes contentious relationship with other species. Their work variously touches on the psychological, ethical, philosophical, scientific and cultural parameters of the relationship. For further details, click here.

Then head over to the UQ Art Museum this Friday 11 May at 4:30 pm for the Talking About Animals Seminar before the ANIMAL/HUMAN exhibition opening.
