While all efforts were focused on the delivery of the 11th Asia Pacific Triennial in 2024 (which continues through to 27 April) 2025 is promising to be an equally signature year of exhibitions for Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA).

The Brisbane gallery announced its program this week, and there are a number of big names promising big immersive, ‘people-pleaser’ exhibitions – artists celebrated globally, such as renowned Icelandic-Danish artist Olafur Eliasson who returns to the gallery for a major exhibition and, earlier in the year, Instagrammable works by Yayoi Kusama, Nick Cave, Patricia Piccinini and Ron Mueck that will leave you wonderstruck.
