TRIENNIAL Of
CONTEmpORARYART
(aPt7)
8 december 2012 – 7 April 2013 | gomA & QAg
established in 1993, the asia pacific
triennial of contemporary art (apt)
is the gallery’s flagship international
contemporary art event. it is the only major
series of exhibitions in the world to focus
exclusively on the contemporary art of
australia, asia, and the pacific.
internationally renowned for its collection
of contemporary asian and pacific art, an
ongoing component of the apt series is
the commissioning of new works for the
gallery’s permanent collection.
the first three triennials demonstrated
the diversity of contemporary art practice
across the region (from pakistan to niue)
by profiling 220 artists from 20 countries.
apt 2002 was radically different in that it
considered developments in contemporary
art over recent decades through in-depth
explorations of 16 individual artists. apt
2006 continued to develop the 2002 model
and featured a selection of works from 35
artists and two multi-artist projects.
in 2009, apt6 profiled the work of over
100 artists from 25 countries, including
a number of collaborations never seen
before in australia. apt7 will mark the 20th
anniversary of the gallery's asia pacific
triennial.
