Press Release

The next chapter in QAGOMA’s flagship exhibition series will feature 70 projects from across Australia, Asia and the Pacific, encompassing work by over 200 artists, makers and thinkers. Across QAG and GOMA,

‘The 11th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art’ will reflect the region’s social and cultural diversity, drawing on a wealth of cultural expression and including artists not previously exhibited in Australia. APT11 artists consider knowledge in its many forms, following thematic threads such as care for natural and urban environments, intergenerational experiences of migration and labour, and nuanced approaches to storytelling, materials and technique.

First Nations, minority and diaspora cultures are crucial to APT11, and the exhibition highlights the collective, performative and community-driven artmaking that thrives in the region.

Building on three decades of engagement in Asia and the Pacific, APT is developed by a team of QAGOMA curators working with co-curators, advisors and interlocutors from across the region and in South-East Queensland communities. APT11 will be accompanied by live performance, public discussions, cinema programs and projects for young visitors, along with ongoing community engagement activities and research partnerships, as well as a fully illustrated publication and newly commissioned digital essays for the Asia Pacific Art Papers series.

About the Gallery
The Queensland Art Gallery is Queensland's premier visual arts institution. The Gallery's driving philosophy is to connect art and people.

The Gallery was established in 1895 as the Queensland National Art Gallery. Throughout its early history the Gallery was housed in a series of temporary premises, and did not have a permanent home until the opening of its current architecturally acclaimed building on Brisbane's south bank in 1982

The Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) opened in December 2006. Designed by sydney-based Architectus, and situated only 150 metres from the Queensland Art Gallery building, GoMA focuses on the art of the 20th and 21st Centuries.

GoMA's flagship project is the Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art, established in 1993 this is now a major event on the international arts calendar. The gallery is now regarded as a world leader in presenting contemporary art from the region and in 2002 established the Australian Centre of Asia-Pacific Art (ACAPA). The centre's objectives are to: further further the research, documentation, publication, acquisition and exhibition of Asian and Pacific art; support residencies, internships and other professional development opportunities for artists, scholars and museum professionals in the field of Asian and Pacific art; establish partnerships and alliances with similar organisations to attract sponsorship for the Gallery's Asian and Pacific activities.

The Gallery is also committed to profiling Indigenous Australian art and strengthening relationships with Queensland's Indigenous communities.
