‘The 10th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art’ (APT10) is an international, vibrant celebration of contemporary art spread across the whole of the Gallery of Modern Art and key spaces at Queensland Art Gallery from December 4 - April 25.

Immerse yourself in the most compelling new artwork being produced across Asia, the Pacific and Australia while you explore the future of art and the world we inhabit together.

Across two galleries, you'll see the works of 150 artists and 69 projects from 30 countries, including dynamic installations, painting, sculpture, photography and video.

The artists draw on deep histories, current urgencies and cultural encounters that have shaped art and life across the Asia Pacific.

In conjunction with the mega must-see exhibition, APT10 Cinema brings together a huge program of Asia Pacific features, documentaries, shorts, animations and more… and it’s all free.  

While you're there, don't miss your chance to come face to frosty face with a real snowman! The life-sized snowman by leading contemporary artists and collaborators Peter Fischli and David Weiss is an unexpected sight to see outside in balmy Brisbane. One of only four sculptures ever created, it places Brisbane in an exclusive club with the likes of MoMA, New York and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
