A very special exhibition is happening for the next six weeks at the Wondai Regional Art Gallery … a touring display from the Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA).<\/p>\n

Wondai is the 14th (and last) spot on a three-year tour of works by Asia Pacific video artists. After this, the works will be heading back to Brisbane.<\/p>\n

The videos are mounted on special screens, big and small, around the main gallery.<\/p>\n

Some have sound – and headphones – while others are simply visual masterpieces.<\/p>\n

It is believed to be the first video art exhibition to be shown in the South Burnett.<\/p>\n

A large work, “Waltz of the Machine Equestrians” by Vietnamese artist UuDam Tran Nguyen, is projected on to one large wall.<\/p>\n

Wondai Art Gallery curator Elaine Madill was particularly impressed by Takahiko Iimura’s work “Performance: AIUEONN Six Features” which explores different vowel sounds in Japanese and English with exaggerated facial displays.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The work, which dates to 1994, is by one of the pioneers of video art who started creating works in the 1960s and is now displayed in major galleries around the world.<\/p>\n

Most of the videos have featured in the QAGOMA’s flagship Australia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art (APT).<\/p>\n

This three-yearly event highlights contemporary artworks from across the Asia-Pacific Region.<\/p>\n

The next triennial – APT11 – is expected to open in Brisbane in November.<\/p>\n

The Wondai display was officially opened on Friday night by QAGOMA representative Terry Deen who explained how video art developed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He said it encouraged viewers to explore different ideas and perspectives in ways not possible with static pieces.<\/p>\n

While the videos are playing in the main gallery space at Wondai, the other rooms are filled with items from the gallery’s extensive collection.<\/p>\n

Works by students from Wheatlands State School have filled Kidz Korner.<\/p>\n

Wondai Art Gallery is open from 10:00am to 3:00pm, seven days a week. Entry is free.<\/strong><\/p>\n

NB: Because of the extended length of this exhibition, there will be no gallery opening night on the first Friday in August. The gallery’s normal schedule will resume in September.<\/em><\/p>\n
