Brook Andrew's project for APT8 represents the intervention of art practice into the conventions of museum display. Several of Andrew's recent major installations and graphic works are inspired by patterns found on dendroglyphs (carved trees) and shields specific to his mother's Wiradjuri nation (in New South Wales). In 'Intervening Time' Andrew has applied his contemporary hypnotic pattern in black over the existing wall colours of three Australian Collection galleries, and installed among the Collection his six-part 2012 installation 'Time'.

The Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art (APT) is the Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art's flagship exhibition focused on the work of Asia, the Pacific and Australia. The 8th edition emphasised the role of performance in recent art, with live actions, video, kinetic art, figurative painting and sculpture exploring the use of the human form to express cultural, social and political ideas, and the central role of artists in articulating experiences specific to their localities.
