Win Tickets to Cai Guo-Qiang After Hours at GOMA
Your last chance to see bears casually drinking next to cheetahs.
It's not often you get to see bears casually drinking next to cheetahs. New York-based artist Cai Guo-Qiang's first solo exhibition in Australia is something of a cross between The Lion King and Noah's Ark that way.
The exhibition, titled Falling Back to Earth, consists of three large-scale, nature-inspired installations, two of which are commissions inspired by the artist's own experiences in Australia. Heritage (2013) features 99 lifelike animals from all around the world drinking from a blue lake surrounded by white sand. The other new work is Eucalyptus (2013), a long gum tree extending the length of the gallery, and the third piece on display is the artist's famous and fabulous Head On (2006), where 99 artificial wolves are shown in various stages of colliding with a glass wall.
The exhibition has been hugely popular at GOMA, where opening hours have been extended on Wednesday nights for the last four weeks, until it closes on May 11.
Thanks to GOMA, we have five double passes to give away that can be used at any of the Wednesday night viewings (16, 23, 30 April or 7 May). To be in the running, simply subscribe to our newsletter (if you haven't already), then email [email protected] with your name and address.
