About

A hole new world, Swingers — The Art of Mini Golf arrives at the Brisbane Powerhouse. An interactive exhibition of rebellion and play for the curious, the competitive and anyone bold enough to swing outside the lines.  

Play your way through nine adventurous mini golf holes, each designed by leading female artists, exploring the game’s subversion history and the untold obstacles along its path. 

Artist, filmmaker and writer Miranda July (All Fours) goes “All Fores” for the project. Kaylene Whiskey sets course with pop icons woven through Anangu culture. Tokyo’s Saeborg unleashes latex creatures of cartoonish menace, while Nabilah Nordin reimagines her playful, experimental sculptures with a putting twist. Delaine Le Bas squares the circle, and Natasha Tontey entwines speculative storytelling with mythology, technology, and alternative histories. Atlanta rapper BKTHERULA joins sound artist Kate Miller to make swamp flowers bloom. Australian duo Soda Jerk open an algorithmic K-hole, and prolific photographer Pat Brassington dives headfirst. 

Only the most audacious artists are here because mini golf itself was born of rebellion: invented by 19th century Scottish women who were banned from “real” courses but refused to sit on the sidelines. 

Pick your putter. It’s art that fills the cup.
