We noticed that when we experienced galleries what we enjoyed most after immersing ourselves in the art inside, was that re-engagement with the context, the town, and with the daylight and surrounds. We recognised that aspect appealed to us subconsciously in a number of galleries. Lindsay Clare One we really liked was in Davos in Switzerland, the Kirchner Museum, where you go in then come back out and see the mountains — it connects you to the art and to the place.

The materiality of that gallery is exceptional. Kerry Clare We believe our gallery does that too — every time you step out of the space you re-engage with the city, or the river, the trees or the street. A difference is that GOMA has to allow for a huge variety of shows rather than a fixed exhibition like the Kirchner. Lindsay Clare It is so important that the edges were sheltered — a big part of the strategy to make people engage with the building, because it provides what you need in the Queensland climate and [allows visitors to] occupy the edges in different ways.

GOMA is about connection, connecting people with art, art with the city, the people with the context, and the building to the city. A place where people come together to be inspired and imaginations spark.

Six years into the third millennium, it seems relevant for an important cultural monument to anticipate a future of being dressed in different, flickering, digital draperies.
