Before The Go-Betweens, before Brisbane had a musical mythology, there was a scene. Nowhere Fast gathers the photographic evidence: Paul O'Brien's images of Brisbane's punk and post-punk underground between 1978 and 1982, drawn from the book of the same name and brought to Woolloongabba Art Gallery in an exhibition curated by Robert Forster and John Willsteed.

Nowhere Fast is at Woolloongabba Art Gallery for Open Season. For anyone who ever wondered where this city got its nerve.

Open Season is supported by the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland's Strategic Partnerships Fund, and by the Australian Government through the Office for the Arts Revive Live program.
