The Queensland Art Gallery has a fantastic triennial exhibition, the Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art (APT). Kids APT is always alot of fun too! Lots of craft activities designed for kids, but great for the young-at-heart too! The next one hits Brisbane on December 5th.
My favourite is still the 2002 exhibition, which introduced me to artists such as Micheal Lin and Yayoi Kusama.
The installations by Yayoi Kusama blew me away. The Japanese artist was born in 1929 and works primarily with dots across many mediums. Her exploration of polka dots and nets as motifs apparently started at an early age, around ten! The installation "Soul under the moon 2002" featured glow in the dark balls in an infinity room - it seemed to go on for ever. It was amazing to stand in.

And the beautiful installation of reflective silver balls "Narcissus garden 2002".
Experiencing installations like these always emphasises to me how much impact an interior can have on you, so inspiring! Here are a few of Yayoi Kusmama's other worlds.
I bought this poster of Yayoi Kusama at the exhibition, which is from an opening in New York 1966 where these buttons were distributed. Love the sentiment!Images from qag and google images.
