Indo Pop: Indonesian Art from APT7
Because there's no such thing as too much Asia Pacific art.
Overview
Brisbane might be buzzing about APT8 — it has taken over the Queensland Art Gallery and Gallery of Modern Art, after all — however it's not the only showcase of Asia Pacific art in town. It's not the only APT exhibition, either. Some of the highlights of APT7 are still hanging around.
Because there's no such thing as too much Asia Pacific art, Indo Pop: Indonesian Art from APT7 is currently doing the rounds of regional galleries. Redcliffe is far enough away from the CBD to count, while still close enough for Brisbanites to head to for a leisurely look at the creative efforts of artists from one of our closest neighbouring countries.
The exhibition not only spans everything from painting to stop motion animation, but highlights a group of the region's up-and-comers. It also shines a light on some of Indonesia's artistic, political and social issues. And, it'll keep winding its way around Queensland until September 2017, should you miss this stopover.
