CHRIS SAINES, cnzm DIRECTOR | GALLERY OF MODERN ART

The past year was an ambitious and important one for the Gallery as we approached the tenth anniversary of GOMA. It began with the busy final months of ‘The 8th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art’ and continued through major exhibitions, which we later toured, by the legendary Cindy Sherman and the remarkable Sally Gabori. Other highlights included a survey of the gifts of Tim Fairfax, ac, and an examination of ’s ties with its closest neighbour, Papua New Guinea. The year culminated in a suite of exhibitions, commissions and programs that marked GOMA’s tenth birthday in spectacular style. The Gallery took the opportunity to build its Collection as another marker of the building’s milestone, which resulted in the gifting and commissioning of numerous exceptional works. Among them are an iconic early- 1950s painting by Australian modernist ; 15 ‘soundsuit’ horses by Chicago-based artist Nick Cave; and a new public artwork for GOMA by Indigenous Queensland artist Judy Watson. We also embarked on a Collection Storage upgrade at QAG, adding a third to our current capacity, and entered into a wide-ranging agreement for joint programming with the Singapore Art Museum. Once again, the Gallery enjoyed the unstinting support of Premier and Minister for the Arts, the Honourable Annastacia Palaszczuk, mp, and the Department of Premier and Cabinet, as well as Arts Queensland and Tourism and Events Queensland. Like all publicly funded cultural institutions, we could not do the work we do without a great family of supporters, committed sponsors and generous donors through the QAGOMA Foundation. Moreover, we could not have achieved the reach of this past year without the clear and astute guidance of the Board of Trustees Chair, Professor Susan Street, ao, Deputy Chair, Philip Bacon, am, our highly engaged Board, and a dedicated Executive Management Team and passionate staff.

28 MAY – 3 OCTOBER 2016 GALLERY OF MODERN ART

Cindy Sherman is renowned for her mastery of masquerade — her own image is at the centre of an array of character studies created over decades. Sherman expands on contemporary society's fascination with aspiration, narcissism and celebrity, and explores the resulting emotional fragility. Featuring large-scale photographs made since 2000, the exhibition charted the artist's return as the central model in her works, for which she is also costume designer, make-up artist and photographer. The exhibition included two series made with fashion houses Balenciaga and Chanel, and an entirely new body of work shown for the first Supported again by ABC Radio time outside New York.

Judy Watson In April, QAGOMA called for expressions of interest from Queensland artists of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander background to create a major public artwork for the entrance of GOMA. After considering strong submissions from across the state, the selection panel unanimously chose Waanyi artist Judy Watson’s proposal for a bronze sculpture inspired by the traditional woven fishing nets of south-east Queensland’s Aboriginal communities. With reference to historical nets held by the Queensland Museum and visual documentation in the State Library of Queensland’s archives, Watson worked closely with Quandamooka weaver Leecee Carmichael to create the massive net from which the sculpture was cast.

The final result was revealed as part of GOMA’s tenth anniversary celebrations and is a permanent powerful reminder of the indelible Aboriginal presence at Kurilpa. This project was realised with generous support from the , the Neilson Foundation, and Cathryn Mittelheuser, am, through the QAGOMA Foundation.
