Gallery of Modern Art is a Cultural Triumph for Brisbane

BRISBANE, 1 Dec. /MediaNet International-AsiaNet/ --

Brisbanes new Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) and refurbished Queensland Art Gallery open tomorrow (Saturday, 2 December) with The 5th AsiaPacific Triennial of Contemporary Art (APT5) and new Collection displays.

Wayne Goss, Chairman of the Queensland Art Gallery Board of Trustees said GoMA was a major new contemporary art museum for Australia and the Asia-Pacific region, and a cultural triumph for Brisbane.

The Queensland Government is to be congratulated for having the vision to build Australias largest gallery of modern and contemporary art, Mr Goss said.

With the addition of GoMA, Queensland Art Gallery remains a single institution with two magnificent sites: the celebrated Robin Gibson-designed Gallery, which opened in 1982, and the Architectus-designed Gallery of Modern Art at Kurilpa Point, the last reach of the Brisbane River overlooking the city, he said.
