With a curatorium more multiracial than the Jedi Council, the Third Asia-Pacific Triennial brings together work from as far afield as China, Pakistan, and Papua New Guinea. As the stats attest - 75 artists and 150 curators, writers, and scholars from 20 countries - the APT is the most comprehensive survey of its kind. In keeping with the "past" and "present" themes of the first two triennials, the third installment, rather ambitiously subtitled "Beyond the Future," is designed to spark consideration of the artistic and political destinies of the region - all from the vantage point of subtropical Brisbane, home to a populace sufficiently dislocated from its predominantly Anglo origins to imagine a future free of the Phantom Menace of Eurocentrism. Sept. 9, 1999-Jan. 26, 2000.
