Cut Copy: Brisbane music posters 1977–1987

Elsewhere



If you love Brisbane’s art, music and design scene, be sure to visit Cut Copy.

Step back to Brisbane in the 70s and 80s, where the city’s conservative climate sparked youth rebellion, do-it-yourself expression and underground music. In suburban halls, corner pubs and seedy clubs, Brisbane bands thrived. Made with whatever was on hand, music posters were a creative outlet for youth and a snapshot into the mood of the era.

From The Go-Betweens to The Leftovers, Razar to The Riptides, dig deep into Brisbane’s alternative music past and the design work that took it to the streets.

As well as an immersive onsite exhibition at State Library in South Bank, the exhibition can be enjoyed online. The digital exhibition features a range of exciting collection items, blog posts and videos.
