The Life Outside Issue

Introducing the Life Outside issue of Habitus magazine. With life increasingly being absorbed into a digital space, there is never a more important moment to hold something tangible. In this context, the power of nature to have a physiological impact on our sense of wellbeing has never been more important. So how can we cultivate the benefits of the our natural environment in the most intimate of places – our homes? This was the question that helped to bring this issue of Habitus to life.

Work by more than 80 artists featured in The 8th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art (APT8) will reflect the vigour of expanding creative centres throughout Asia and the Pacific, running from November 21 2015 to April 10 2015 at the Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA) in Brisbane.


Of the 160 biennials and triennials currently staged worldwide, the Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art is the only exhibition series to focus on the contemporary art of Asia, Australia and the Pacific.

With each iteration of the flagship Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art exhibition series, QAGOMA examines developments in the contemporary art of Australia, Asia and the Pacific. The exhibition features more than 80 artists from over 30 countries including significant Australian involvement.

New works include a structural installation of found materials by India’s Asim Waqif and a suspended sculpture by South Korea’s Haegue Yang.
