GOMA Reopens

Brisbane's iconic Gallery of Modern Art reopens to visitors on Friday, August 7th., with free entry-timed tickets*. 

So from this weekend, you can visit both Queensland Art Gallery, which opened last month, and GOMA.

Five new free exhibitions coincide with the reopening, including:

Kayili Car Bonnets -  Kayili artists, Pulpurru Davies, Nola Campbell, Mary Gibson, Jackie Kurltjunyintja Giles and Ngipi Ward, who were among the last nomadic desert peoples forced into settler life, give a bold and vivid new life to old car bonnets belonging to abandoned cars in the Western Desert, 1000 km from Alice Springs.

Unfinished Business - The Art of Gordon Bennett - Queensland-born artist Gordon Bennett (1955–2014) made a profound and ongoing contribution to contemporary art in Australia and internationally. ‘Unfinished Business' is the first large-scale exhibition of Bennett’s oeuvre since 2007, featuring works that have never or rarely been seen as well as his most admired and important paintings.

I, Object - This fascinating sculptural exhibition looks at the many complex relationships Indigenous Australian artists have to objects: from the histories informing their creation, to the social and cultural consequences of their collection.

Welcome to Colour Television -  Celebrating a powerful selection of Indigenous Australian  video art featuring works by Richard Bell, Destiny Deacon, Vernon Ah Kee, Christian Thompson, Genevieve Grieves and Douglas Watkin. The artists use the power of the screen to communicate across cultures and disrupt the dominant narratives surrounding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

Cut It - Collage to Meme - ‘Cut It’ contemplates our voracious consumption of images, to show how artists have redeployed the meaning of images through the enduring techniques of collage, montage and sampling. Using the lenses of news reporting and entertainment media, the artworks are cropped and altered pictures from newspapers, popular movies, the internet and art history, bringing together disparate images to express new ideas.

Need to know - In keeping with COVID-19 regulations, QAGOMA are required to obtain individual contact details to support contact tracing, so there is a limit of one ticket per person, per booking. For each booking, you’ll need to supply the individual name and contact details of the person who will be visiting.*

Good to know - Make a day of it and visit Queensland Art Gallery where the fabulous Mavis Ngallametta exhibition Show Me the Way to Go Home, has been extended until 2021.
