Riding along the undercurrents of Turner Prizes and Archibalds, #PRIZENOPRIZE is an exhibition that champions and democratises art across all media and levels. Think of it as a soft power alternative to the head-churning, nail-biting process that comes with applying for art awards – or being shortlisted for the coveted Bachelor rose of the artworld.
THRUST
YANNICK BLATTNER
Glamour, machismo and the Gold Coast’s glitzy subtropical self-image: THRUST offers the provocation of symbolic displays of pointless power and pent-up energy with nowhere to go.

NETHERWORLDS
NAOMI BLACKLOCK, ANASTASIA BOOTH, CAITLIN FRANZMANN, CHANTAL FRASER, CLAY KERRIGAN, BLAKE LAWRENCE NETHERWORLDS
Artists draw from their cultural backgrounds, sexual orientations, and gender politics to craft dark and potent spaces of empowerment through ritual, talisman, and world-building. (Curated by Amy-Clare McCarthy and Kieran Swann).
FOUNDING FATHERS
ARCHIE MOORE
Diminishing the stature of our heroic Founding Fathers may seem like a contemporary gesture – but to the Aboriginal people who stood in the way of the revered explorers’ colonialist agenda, they were always seen and heard this way.
