First Asia-Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art (APT1) 1993

The 'First Asia-Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art', held from 17 September to 5 December 1993, was the first project of its kind in the world to focus on the contemporary art of Asia and the Pacific.

In undertaking APT1, the Gallery recognised the need for an ongoing series of exhibitions and forums which would initiate dialogue on the art of this important geo-political region. The Gallery worked closely with advisors and selectors from Australia and across the region to bring the Triennial to fruition.

APT1 featured nearly 200 works by 76 artists from:

• South-East Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia, The Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam)
• East Asia  (China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea)
• South Pacific (New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Australia).

Over 60 000 visitors attended the exhibition.
