As a selected alumni artist for QUT’s fourth Alumni Triennial, Emma Coulter was invited to create a new site specific intervention, alongside an installation of her paintings + sculptures, at QUT Art Museum, in Brisbane.

Symbolising a connection between the educational and the institutional this intervention, ‘spatial deconstruction #26’, is an introvert/ extrovert structure, that simultaneously pushes out from the museum walls, into the public university, whilst retracting into the gallery space, through two highly chromatic, site-specific interventions, inserted in between the museum interior and exterior, on both the southern and western facades.

Whilst the two interventions are physically separated, the installation is one work, that can only completely be experienced through a transition around the outside of the gallery space and into the museum.

Context and perceptual optics challenge the audience to perceive the way, that we receive the work both physically and metaphorically, whilst this new work also represents a breakthrough work for the artist, in realising her painted spatial deconstruction works through a sculptural intervention.
