Description

This is an audio description of Karla Marchesi's painting, 'Trashout' (2010), narrated by Dr Bree Hadley and recorded by Michael Whelan. This recording was produced in partnership with QUT Creative Industries Faculty for the exhibition, 'Vis-ability' at QUT Art Museum, from 11 May to 4 August 2019.

These audio descriptions are designed to be heard before the artwork is seen, which is why the artworks are hidden inside pods. Audiences are encouraged to listen to the description before looking through the viewing windows to see the artwork. For many of us, our experience of the world is ocular-centric, and sound is often considered a secondary sense. The audio descriptions are designed to encourage visitors to engage with work through senses other than sight. Audio description can add to the impact of an artwork, not just for audiences who are blind or have low vision, but for broader audiences, using the unique aesthetic and meaning-making possibilities of words to amplify the experience of encountering an artwork.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
