Incoherent ramblings of an Australian digital designer
The 7th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art (APT7)
A few weeks ago while I was in the city, I impulsively decided to check out the The 7th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art at GOMA and QAG. While I was a little rushed (I had about 45 minutes), I managed to see nearly all of the artwork from the exhibition.
The Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art (APT) is the only exhibition in the world to exclusively display art from Asia, the Pacific and Australia. In GOMA, the artwork will instantly hit you as you enter the doors while other artists can be found in select areas of QAG.
Below are some (crappy phone) photos of my favourites art pieces. Because I was rushed, I forgot to take down the artists’ names for some of the artwork ^^;;. I’ve managed to track down most of details but if you see any mistakes, let me know!
I would highly recommend going to see the exhibit but if you want to read every blurb and fully absorb every artwork (which you should), set aside a couple of hours. The exhibition is open till the 14th of April and admission is free. For full details check out the QAGOMA website. Here’s hoping I get a chance to go back and see it again ^_^.
P.S – QAGOMA also has a large range of videos from the artists involved in APT7. You can check them out in the QAGOMA TV section.
