Swingers - The Art of Mini Golf

Swingers - The Art of Mini Golf will transform the iconic arts precinct of the Brisbane Powerhouse into a surreal, hole new world of playable art – a nine hole course of rebellion and play designed by visionary female artists from January 10 to March 1, 2026.

Audiences can putt their way through an unforgettable collision of creativity and fun, with works by Miranda July (USA), Kaylene Whiskey (AUS), Saeborg (JPN), Nabilah Nordin (AUS), Delaine Le Bas (UK) and Natasha Tontey (ID). 

Equal parts absurd, joyful, and thought provoking, Swingers reimagines mini golf as an interactive, hands on art experience. Expect latex animal tail for putters, square balls, speculative mythologies, and candy coloured sculptures, all crafted into an imaginative course that invites audiences to play, ponder and laugh along the course. 

Presented for the first time in Queensland, Swingers - The Art of Mini Golf marks the start of the new Brisbane Powerhouse CEO and Artistic Director, Louise Bezzina, who stepped into the role earlier this October. 

Originally developed by Melbourne’s RISING festival, curated by Grace Herbert Swingers draws on the radical femme roots of mini golf, first created by 19th century Scottish women who were banned from “real” golf courses. Over time, mini golf became a space for rule breakers and dreamers and now, an artistic frontier.

In Swingers, audiences will find themselves teeing off inside a neon labyrinth of art, performance and play. Whether you’re an art aficionado or just here for the putt, this summer exhibition promises an experience like no other.
