Ali Bezer – Out of Tune (Woolloongabba Art Gallery, Brisbane, Exhibition Catalogue Booklet) 2025

Official exhibition catalogue booklet produced by Woolloongabba Art Gallery for Out of Tune, a solo exhibition by Brisbane artist Ali Bezer. The publication accompanied an exhibition exploring the relationship between sound, rhythm and visual form, drawing inspiration from prepared piano compositions and experimental music practices. The catalogue documents a body of work created through hand-printed woodblock techniques, with images layered onto semi-translucent Japanese Washi paper to create shifting visual rhythms analogous to musical notation and resonance.

In her accompanying exhibition text, Bezer describes an artistic process informed by active listening, improvisation and the physical structures of music. The works investigate tone, vibration, repetition and interruption through abstract geometric forms that variously suggest piano components, architectural fragments, mechanical devices and imagined landscapes. References to composers including John Cage, Andrea Manzoni and Hauschka position the exhibition within a broader dialogue between contemporary visual art and experimental sound practice.

The booklet includes exhibition essays, artist statements and reproductions of exhibited works, providing important contextual material beyond the exhibition itself. As a gallery publication, it serves as a lasting record of contemporary Queensland printmaking and the role of Woolloongabba Art Gallery in supporting independent visual arts practice in Brisbane.

Condition: Very Good Plus.
