Conference, Research Library and
Publications
The Queensland Art Gallery's
commitment to research in the field
of contemporary Asian and Pacific
art directly supports the APT
project. The APT3 conference
coincided with the opening of the
exhibition and attracted 700
delegates, becoming the largest
contemporary art conference ever
held in Australia. (Conference
Proceedings will be available
through the Gallery Store.) The
Research Library continues to
expand its substantial holdings of
publications, catalogues, journals,
slides, other reference material,
and images. Additionally, an Asia–
Pacific Artists Database lists more
than 2 OOO artists in the region.
The Gallery's unique Asia-Pacific
Research holdings are available to
students and researchers.
Additionally, the 280 page full–
colour APT3 publication explores
issues concerning contemporary art
in the region.The APT with its
associated research and
publications program, has become
an integral part of the Gallery's
operations and future direction.

of new technologies in
contemporary art practice, the
Virtual Triennial was developed for

attracted 1.3 million hits from June
1999 until January 2000 and
features images of artwork and
performances; specific information
on artists and art works; as well as
information on the conference,
publications and events. 'Kids' APT

information developed specially for
children. Another aspect of the
Virtual Triennial was digital-based

presented on-site within the
exhibition. Other works were
presented on-line through an
exhibition of thirty web-based art
works, launched every day during
September 1999.The on-line
exhibition was curated as part of
the MAAP99 (Multimedia Art Asia
Pacific)Festival.
