Fire-Works
gallery emerged as a commercial space in Brisbane in 1993 following
the success of Campfire group projects and consultancies- a collective
of Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists working collaboratively
in the studio since 1988.
As our byline states, Aboriginal Art & Other Burning Issues, our exhibitions convey a progressive attitude towards current contemporary art practices striving for dynamic combinations often involving both black and white perspectives. With respect to Aboriginal culture, Fire-Works places a strong emphasis on the contemporary rather than the ethnographic. Fire-Works gallery specialises in sourcing works from across Australia to build unique private collections; and/or engage corporate and curatorial consultancies, featuring contemporary works from established and emerging Indigenous artists. Projects include residencies and cultural exchange programs: To help secure and promote new and emerging artists, Fire-Works hosts the NEWflames program of artist in residencies at our Campfire studios. This enables selected artists to consolidate their careers in a guided professional manner. The ARTdialog project is a culmination of the networking with artists based in Austria via ARTStation Kollmitzberg since 2001. This network was made possible with the extraordinary success of DREAMTIME at Sammlung Essl, Vienna in 2001 and Spirit & Vision in 2004 whereby Michael Eather, Director of Fire-Works gallery was the guest curator for both Our services include Hire-Works
