Water’ opens this summer at GOMA, exploring the vital element which sustains all life on Earth. From major immersive experiences to smaller-scale treasures by Australian and international artists, the exhibition will highlight this precious resource and spark conversations about the environmental and social challenges we face today.

Walk across a vast, rocky riverbed created by Olafur Eliasson. See animals from around the world gather together to drink from Cai Guo-Qiang’s brilliant blue waterhole. Gaze at Peter Fischli and David Weiss’s snowman frozen in Brisbane’s summer heat. Traverse a cloud of suspended gymnastic rings in a participatory artwork by William Forsythe. View the tidal currents rise and fall around Angela Tiatia. Reflect on the cultural traditions of bodies of water with Judy Watson, and on the long history of our reliance on water through Megan Cope’s re-created midden. ‘Water’ invites you to do all this and much more.

Complimenting the Ticketed exhibit WATER are a number of free exhibits, some of these include the Asian Art Collection running until october 2020. which show the gradual shiftsin patterns, colours and techniques, that can be traced across thousands of years in ceramics from China, Japan, Korea and South-East Asia, along with the presence of shared motifs, technological developments, and the marks of artistic influence that have spread through ages and across cultures.
