Following on from the 7th Asia-Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art exhibition (APT7) at the Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA), selected pieces acquired for the Gallery’s contemporary Asian art collection are on tour in Indo Pop: Indonesian Art from APT7 as part of QAGOMAs commitment to regional Queensland.

APT7 (2012-13) featured the Triennial’s largest representation to date of artists from Indonesia. QAGOMA Associate Curator, Asian Art, Tarun Nagesh, said the exhibition captured the vibrancy and humour of an emerging generation of contemporary Indonesian artists.

‘Drawing on one of the focus areas of APT7 (2012-13), ‘Indo Pop’ showcases a diverse group of works including the explosively coloured painting The Journey 2011 by Uji Handoko Eko Saputro (aka Hahan). These works in a variety of styles and media represent the exciting approaches that are earning these artists widespread international attention,’ said Chris Saines, Director, QAGOMA.

The regional tour of Indo Pop: Indonesian Art from APT7 also includes video and digital works from artist collective Tromarama, and Tintin Wulia, who now reside in Queensland. Tromarama’s stop-motion animation in Wattt?! 2010, a favourite with young visitors when shown in APT7, brings lights and lamps to life in a humorous response to an unexpectedly-high electricity bill. 

Join the gallery for a Twilight Tour with Tarun Nagesh, Associate Curator, Asian Art QAGOMA starting at 5.30pm on Thursday 24 August 2017.

This is a free event and all are welcome | Light refreshments will be served | RSVP to the gallery by Tuesday 22 August 2017.
