Join us for a special, artist-led drawing tour with MoB Artist in Residence Renee Kire. This guided experience brings together City Hall history, architectural insights and Renee’s artistic practice. Visitors will explore shape, scale and rhythm, gaining a fresh perspective on the iconic building as Renee shares how these elements inform her residency project at Museum of Brisbane.
All drawing materials are provided, and everyone is welcome to sketch what they see, no prior drawing experience needed.
These tours form part of Renee Kire’s residency at Museum of Brisbane, which celebrates City Hall’s architecture and urban landscape through bold, inviting abstract forms that will transform the Museum’s entryway.
Departure location: This tour begins from Museum of Brisbane reception on Level 3, City Hall.
Duration of tour: 1 hour
Difficulty: This tour is suitable for all fitness levels. Please note this tour will include stairs.
MoB’s Artist in Residence program is supported by Tim Fairfax AC.
Renee Kire is an early career artist of Australian and Māori descent, living and working in Meanjin (Brisbane). Her practice is grounded in feminist art history, drawing inspiration from historically overlooked female artists and reimagining minimalist sculpture through a contemporary, gender-conscious lens. Kire uses the playful investigations of form, colour and space to respond to her surroundings and invites audience interaction within an installation environment.
Kire has completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts with Honours (Queensland College of Art, Griffith University, 2022) and has presented her work in spaces such as the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts, Buxton Contemporary, Rockhampton Museum of Art, Brisbane Powerhouse, Metro Arts and Outer Space. In 2023 she was recognised as a finalist in the Fisher’s Ghost Art Award.
