If you’re going to be joining us for the Welcome Reception and launch of Systems art exhibition at the Queensland Herbarium tonight—there is an additional treat. Systems artist Alinta Krauth will be presenting a one-night only art installation, to be experienced outside in the Australian tropical rainforest section of the gardens.

Systems is an art exhibition that celebrates the diverse and curious biological systems of Australia’s living world.
Coinciding with the Australasian Systematic Botany Society 2018 conference, Mindthe Gap, this exhibition showcases South East Queensland-based artists who take inspiration from living systems, revealing links between art, science and nature.

We invite you to the 2018 Australasian Systematic Botany Society conference to be held at the Brisbane Botanic Gardens Mt Coot-tha, Toowong in the first week of December organised by the Queensland Herbarium.
The conference theme ‘Mind the Gap’ aims to highlight gaps in systematics be they biogeographic, taxonomic, funding, data or other. There will be a workshop on how to review taxonomic manuscripts and eFlora treatments, followed by three days of symposia and then a field trip.
