Скачать или смотреть APT9/ Artist Stories: Gavin Hipkins video 'The Precinct'

DELVE DEEPER into APT9 https://blog.qagoma.qld.gov.au/catego... SUBSCRIBE to be the first to go behind-the-scenes/ Gavin Hipkins is a photographer and film maker based in Aotearoa New Zealand whose work addresses representation of place, particularly ideas of reimagined communities and social and political utopias in relation to Commonwealth countries.

Set along the Brisbane River, the dual projections of 'The Precinct' 2018 continue Hipkins’s blurring of documentary and experimental narrative film structures. The double perspectives draw on and quote from the first published novel set in the city, 'The Curse and its Cure' (1894) by Dr Thomas Pennington Lucas, a two volume fiction which forecasts 'The Ruins of Brisbane in the Year 2000' and 'Brisbane Rebuilt in the Year 2200'. Lucas envisioned a ruined and corrupt city suffering floods, separatist wars with rival states and 19th century colonial treatment of Indigenous people having a rebirth as a utopian moral paradise. With its fragmentation of sounds and sights along the Brisbane River Hipkins’s 'The Precinct' connotes a past that haunts the future.

Free, and curated for audiences of all ages, the hugely ambitious APT series 'The 9th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art' (APT9) overflows with colour and life and profiles artworks by more than 80 artists, groups and projects from over 30 countries, and is presented across key spaces in the Queensland Art Gallery (QAG) and the entire Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA). The 9th edition of APT, QAGOMA’s flagship exhibition series, continues to foster the development and presentation of the world's most significant works of contemporary Asian, Pacific and Australian art since 1993.
