Go on a musical journey through ‘The 9th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art’ (APT9) with our ‘Let’s Make Noise’ tours. Led by pied-piper John Patterson from iconic Brisbane band The Grates, the special tour encourages you to do something that doesn’t come very naturally in a gallery setting – make as much noise as possible. An outing definitely for the whole family.
Throughout the tour kids and adults alike are invited to discover more about four artists in the exhibition and respond with a sound inspired by the artwork. Stomp your way through the Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA), and from one artwork to the next make sound noise and be creative.
‘Let’s Make Noise’ is part of Curiocity Brisbane, a citywide event celebrating imagination, interaction and innovation from 15 March to 3 April 2019.
Join our ‘Let’s Make Noise’ tours Sat 30 Mar at either 3, 4 or 5pm. Free
Listen to John Patterson’s collective song
Here’s some inspiration… on a previous ‘Let’s make noise’ tour, each of the sounds created along the way were recorded by John Patterson and have been turned in a collective song, which you can now listen to.
