Queer Australian Art and KINK acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the traditional owners and custodians of the lands and waters of this continent. KINK conducts its work on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Bunurong peoples of the Kulin Nation in Naarm Melbourne, the Turrbal and Jagera peoples in Meanjin Brisbane and the Gadigal lands of the Eora Nation, Sydney. We pay respect to elders past, present, and emerging. Sovereignty was never ceded.

Bio

Pat Brassington (b. 1942) is an influential Australian artist working in photo-media. With a career spanning four decades, Brassington has become well known for her incisive ability to infuse the familiar with the fantastic. Troubling what is revealed and what is hidden, her practice queers the photographic medium from a feminist perspective through interests in surrealism and psychoanalysis. A major survey exhibition, Pat Brassington: A Rebours, was held at the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, Melbourne in 2012 and toured Australia and New Zealand until 2014. Other selected solo exhibitions include Pat Brassington, Ten Cubed, Melbourne (2014); In Search of the Marvellous, CAST Gallery, Hobart (2013); a survey exhibition at the Lönnstrom Art Museum, Finland (2008); and Pat Brassington, Institute of Modern Art, Brisbane (2007).
