Local Topographies

Local Topographies is an exhibition that explores notions of place through a planetary lens. It uses various modes of representation to consider a specific central Queensland site. The installation also explores an emerging area of contemporary art practice known as planetary art.

Colour and a range of data sets, media and aesthetic approaches are used in this exhibition to allow diverse ways of thinking about place and climate change to emerge and coalesce.

Local Topographies - an exhibition by Patrick Connor - Runs April 13th to May 8th, 2026.
