APT7 / Richard Maloy discusses installing 'Big Yellow'

Описание: Richard Maloy experiments with audience experience by using industrial materials to create structures and images in playful, sometimes awkward dialogues. Maloy’s massive installations draw viewers into gallery spaces, where they find themselves immersed in an unexpected environment, carefully built with cardboard, tape, plastic bags and wood. His gigantic work for APT7 uses cardboard boxes held together with tape and painted vivid colours, transforming them into a vibrant, amorphous structure. Thirty metres in length, the work encompasses most of the available space in the room, its brightly coloured angular shapes creating new visual and spatial possibilities for the audience.

The Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art (APT) is QAGOMA's flagship international contemporary art event, and the only major exhibition series in the world to focus exclusively on the contemporary art of Asia, the Pacific and Australia.

APT7 continues the series' forward-thinking approach to questions of geography, history and culture and how these questions are explored through the work of contemporary artists. APT7 also marks the twentieth anniversary of the APT, presenting an opportunity to reflect on the unprecedented transformations that have occurred in Australia, Asia and the Pacific.
