Up Late returns to Brisbane’s Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA) in March with a two-night celebration featuring outdoor sets by Australian musicians and DJs, an art-making workshop, dining, bars, and more.
Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA) Director Chris Saines said Air Up Late would be presented at GOMA from 6.00pm to 10.30pm on both Friday 17 and Saturday 18 March. “We are thrilled to offer this program during our summer blockbuster exhibition – ‘Air’, which includes major works by more than 30 leading international and Australian artists,” Mr Saines said.
Audiences have an opportunity to enjoy artworks across the entire ground floor of GOMA. Featured in this exhibition is a new commission by Argentinian-born, Berlin-based artist Tomás Saraceno, 15 large-scale partially mirrored spheres suspended through GOMA’s Long Gallery. On Friday 17 March, Up Late will feature the Naarm-based songwriter Alice Skye (Wergaia/Wemba Wemba people), as well as Brisbane-based Clea. Saturday 18 March sees a live show by Melbourne-based Camp Cope, along with Melaleuca and the Special Features (QUBE Effect performance partner prize winners 2022), both from Brisbane.
Inside GOMA, Air Up Late visitors can get creative with Suspended Particles, a workshop inspired by Jemima Wyman’s artwork in ‘Air’, Plume 20 2022, where anyone can make their own suspended particles by collaging cloud-like shapes to create a camouflage plume. Capacity on both nights of Air Up Late is limited, with live music under the Maiwar Green marquee. All payments are contactless for visitor safety.

On Sunday 19 March visitors can enjoy the Gallery’s Autumn Design Market on the Maiwar Green, GOMA, from 9am to 4pm. The Market offers a diverse range of products by artists, against a backdrop of music by local DJs.
