Gallery of Modern Art Project<br />
The Gallery has invited a group of 15<br />
visual art students from <strong>Brisbane</strong> <strong>State</strong><br />
<strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> to participate in a week<br />
of workshops during the upcoming<br />
October school holidays (Monday,<br />
September 27 - Friday, October 1).<br />
The workshops will be delivered by<br />
leading contemporary artist, Romuald<br />
Hazoume from Benin and the students’<br />
work from the workshops will be<br />
displayed as part of the 21st Century: Art<br />
in the First Decade exhibition opening<br />
December 18 2010.<br />
In addition a film about the making of<br />
the art works with the artist will include<br />
interviews with the students which<br />
will be screened in the exhibition space.<br />
The exhibition is titled Twenty-first Century focusing exclusively on works executed between 2000 and<br />
2010 and will occupy the entire Gallery of Modern Art building and be accompanied by a comprehensive<br />
publication, a children’s publication and series of public programs.<br />
Twenty-first Century will be broad in its geographic and generational scope including senior and emerging<br />
artists from Australia (indigenous and non-indigenous), Asia, the Pacific, Africa, Europe and the Americas.<br />
Art works currently confirmed for the exhibition include major pieces by the Atlas Group (Lebanon),<br />
Pierre Bismuth (France), Candice Breitz (South Africa), Thomas Demand (Germany), Romuald Hazoumé<br />
(Benin), William Kentridge (South Africa), Aernout Mik (The Netherlands), Moataz Nasr (Egypt), Rivane<br />
Neuenschwander (Brazil), Tobias Putrih (Slovenia), Robin Rhode (South Africa), SUPERFLEX (Denmark),<br />
Armando Andrade Tudela (Peru), Sharif Waked (Palestine) and Yang Fudong (China).<br />
An important component of the exhibition will be a series of projects developed by the Gallery’s<br />
Children’s Art Centre (CAC) in collaboration with exhibiting artists. The CAC is a dedicated exhibition<br />
space within the Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA) and is focused on presenting contemporary art in ways<br />
that are appealing and engaging for children and their families.<br />
The exhibitions and programs offer children a gallery experience that is enriching and insightful with<br />
hands-on activities developed to engage young minds with the ideas and processes surrounding<br />
contemporary art.<br />
We are extremely excited about this wonderful opportunity that has been extended to our students.<br />
Art Sub-Committee Meeting<br />
The next Art Sub-Committee Meeting will be on Tuesday, September 7 at 6.00pm in the Art Block.<br />
All are welcome.<br />
