Cultural Centre, Stanley Place, South Bank, Brisbane
Opening Hours: Open daily 10am – 5pm (until 8pm Mon-Thu)
Light from Light opens at the State Library of Queensland on October 1st, 2010 and continues until 2012.
The State Library overlooks the Brisbane River from its beautiful location in the South Brisbane Cultural Precinct. In 2007, the newly redeveloped building, designed by architects Donovan Hill, was opened to the public. Nestled between the Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) and Queensland Art Gallery, the State Library of Queensland is a popular Brisbane destination for both librarygoers and the general public, engaging visitors of all ages with a variety of engaging programs.
In 2010, the State Library opened its new digital culture centre, the Edge, which will host the Light from Light symposium.
State Librarian, Lea Giles-Peters says of the State Library of
Queensland:
“We believe that an empowered and progressive society depends on creative thinking and the sharing of knowledge. In fulfilling our vision, of ‘enriching the lives of Queenslanders’, we focus on three goals:
* Expanding Queensland memory
* Extending access and participation
* Fostering learning and literacy”
The State Library of Queensland is proud to be presenting Light from Light in conjunction with MAAP – Multimedia Art Asia Pacific and the Shanghai Library. Light from Light offers not only the chance to engage visitors in the wonderful State Library building and collections but also presents the unique opportunity of collaboration with sister-state library, Shanghai Library.
In 2006 MAAP collaborated with the State Library to utilise the building that was destined to become The Edge for the MAAP 2006 festival ‘out of the internet’. Light from Light builds upon this dynamic artistic partnership to present both artists and the State Library in a brand new light.

由2010年起，昆士兰省图书馆对公众开放了它的数码文化中心，the Edge, “光源自光”展览的研讨会将在此处举行。
图书馆馆长, Lea Giles-Peters女士 says 为昆士兰省图书馆做了一下的声明:
“我们相信一个充满能力的，进步的社会需要有创意的思考和知识分享。为了完成我们“丰富昆士兰人的生活”的意愿， 我们注重在三个目标：扩展昆士兰的记忆，扩大公众的接触和参与机会，培养学习和读写能。”
昆士兰省图书馆荣幸的与 MAAP – 亚太媒体艺术及上海图书馆共同推出“光源自光”展览。“光源自光”不只是为公众制作了一个机会来参观昆士兰省图书馆的藏书及美妙的建筑，同时也提供了与姊妹图书馆 －上海图书馆的独特合作机遇。
在2006年， MAAP与昆士兰省图书馆在The Edge前身场地合作制作了MAAP 2006 festival ‘out of the internet’.“光源自光”是在这个活跃的艺术合作关系的基础上，将艺术家和图书馆以崭新的形式再次呈现。
