The Eighth Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art

Sponsor message Andrew Doyle Managing Director, Audi Australia For ‘The 8th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art’, Audi is pleased to be involved once again with the Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art by sponsoring the latest exhibition in the institution’s pioneering flagship series. The APT represents more than 20 years of ceaseless re-invention, reconfiguration and pushing the boundaries of what it means to present contemporary art from Australia, Asia and the Pacific. Audi has an established commitment to the arts. In Australia, we are proud to continue our alignment with QAGOMA, an organisation that shares our values of progressiveness and innovation. As Principal Sponsor of APT8 particularly, we look forward to a strong association with the region’s contemporary cutting edge. There couldn’t be a better artistic channel for Audi to engage with its audiences about innovation, technology and design. The exhibition is rich with captivating artworks, deeply considered research and the vision of some of the brightest artistic talent in this region of the world. Like QAGOMA, we strive to create new experiences and challenge conventional thinking and, like the APT, our high performance product is distinct in both its breathtaking design and the exceptional engineering that underpins it. Through the APT, we celebrate our mutual values of performance and progressiveness, and we are pleased to support this singular project and the myriad of programming that activates the spaces of QAG and GOMA for its five-month duration. Audi’s commitment to sponsoring leading organisations such as QAGOMA not only helps us increase awareness in Australia, but allows us to contribute to the communities that support our growth. I welcome visitors to the exhibition, and trust that you’ll leave enriched and energised by what you experience.
