'Pace' is the name given to this QLD Govt funded project comprising several exhibitions - curated by Jill Barker.
The first of these exhibitions, called 'Drawling', is currently showing in the gallery NONA until Friday 1 April.
'PACE' exhibitions project: pace-at-bia blog, this link

Jill has selected 6 artists, whose work ranges from porcelain vessels (Peter Biddulph),
to large scale photographs, (Phoebe McDonald), (Kylie Jury),
Isometric drawings (Richard Stride),
Drawing/Installation (Judith Kentish)
Collaborative video work (Sandra Selig).

Jill has scheduled some Q&A sessions on Wednesdays & Thursdays at lunchtime while the exhibition is up :

(all 12:30pm - 1pm)
Wed March 16 - curator Jill Barker
Thurs March 17 - Phoebe McDonald
Wed March 23- Richard Stride
Thurs March 24 - Judith Kentish
Wed Mar 30 - Kylie Jury
Thurs Mar 31 - Peter Biddulph

The Q&A sessions are planned for these times because this is when the most people are at BIA for classes. So if you have a morning class on either of those days, please think about staying on afterwards for half an hour, and you may want to come to a talk before your afternoon class. Or you may want to come to ask a question even though you aren't usually at BIA on those days. 
Each talk will be held in the gallery.

In addition, there will be an evening lecture on Australian Art by Dr Mark Pennings on Thursday 24 March @ 7pm at BIA to help contextualize the artworks, and there is no restriction on numbers for this lecture.
