GOMA Turns 10
There ain't no party like a gallery party.
Overview
Grab a cake, whack ten candles on it, and rush on over to the Gallery of Modern Art. Okay, okay, you don't have to actually bring some baked goods with you to mark GOMA's birthday; however you do have to be in the mood for a party.
Across December 3 and 4, the city's major hub for modern art is showcasing everything that makes it great, and offering a reminder of just why it has become a Brisbane icon. Want to watch a panel chat about that very topic? Well, that's the first event on the itinerary.
At GOMA Turns 10's opening shenanigans, you can also watch Nick Cave's (no, not that one) brightly coloured sculptural horse costumes come to life, take a walking tour of the building's architecture, attend artist workshops and play with LEGO. Want more? How about a new performance film by Aussie filmmaker Amiel Courtin-Wilson; a screening of his earlier effort, Ruin, with a live score; or a food-focused doco followed by a special dining experience? It's going to be a busy, bustling, creative, celebratory weekend.
