Barbara Campbell with her works at the opening of Ephemeral Traces.

ephemeral traces provides the first comprehensive analysis of artist-run practice in Brisbane during the final decade of the conservative Jo Bjelke-Petersen government. The exhibition focuses on the scene that developed around five key spaces that operated in Brisbane from 1982 to 1988: One Flat, A Room, That Space, the Observatory, and John Mills National.
