In this episode of Pacific Pulse, Tania Nugent is at the Queensland Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane which is transformed every three years into a showcase of the best contemporary art from 25 nations for the Asia Pacific Triennial.


In the sixth triennial, Pacific art takes a new place alongside the more extravagant and expensive work of many Asian artists. It includes for the first time traditional sculptures from Vanuatu's Ambrym Island, as well as simple prints from the Mataso printers, also from Vanuatu.
Hawaiian artist, Solomon Enos converts the mythical creatures of legend to comic book strips for the current generation and there's a four metre masi, or bark cloth, thanks to a collaboration between two Fijian tapa artists and a New Zealander.
