The GEO Project adds a layer of interest, documentation, education and interaction across four exhibitions by considering their connections and differences in relation to the theme of 'art and the environment'.
Each of the GEO exhibitions pose particular questions and narratives about ecology, environment and geography that traverse technology, culture, history and science.

The GEO Project has been coordinated by Jodi Ferrari for Museum and Gallery Services Queensland. The GEO Project is supported by the Visual Arts and Craft Strategy, an initiative of the Australian, state and territory governments, and has received financial assistance from the Gordon Darling Foundation and the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland.
Thank you to Linda Carroli for the concept of developing a support framework for a series of exhibitions exploring similar themes. The theme of ‘art and the environment’ was chosen and four exhibitions were selected for M&GSQ’s touring exhibition program that explore diverse ideas about and creative engagements with environment, ecology and geography. These exhibitions make up The GEO Project: an online and interactive approach developed to enhance engagement with touring exhibitions and attract new audiences, particularly young people and regional/remote communities, through a web-based experience.
Sincere thanks to Keith Ward of Arcimix for his generous assistance with sourcing material, particularly for the digital archive, and to Nomad Art Productions, Artback NT, the Environmental Protection Agency, Beth Jackson, Brendan Lea, and the writers and artists from Antarctica – A Place in the Wilderness, Habitus – Habitat, Intimate Transactions and Replant: A New Generation of Botanical Art.
Thanks to Rob Whyte and Rick Caskey from Toadshow for the development and design of the website, the education kit and promotional material for The GEO Project and to the staff at Museum and Gallery Services Queensland for their assistance and creative input.
