This publication is produced as a catalogue of the seventh edition of the Asia-Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art organised by the Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art. The event took place from December 2012 to April 2013 mainly in the Gallery of Modern Art and various exhibition spaces at Queensland Art Gallery.

'APT7 continues the series’ forward-thinking approach to questions of geography, history and culture and how these questions are explored through the work of contemporary artists.APT7 marks the twentieth anniversary of the APT, and presents an opportunity to reflect on the unprecedented transformations that have occurred in Australia, Asia and the Pacific over the past two decades. Key themes include transforming landscapes, varied engagements with the city, and the adaptability of local cultures in today's globalised world.
Occupying the entire Gallery of Modern Art and key spaces at the Queensland Art Gallery, APT7 will feature new and recent works by 75 senior and emerging artists and groups from 27 countries across the region. Major groups of works by younger-generation artists from Indonesia and Vietnam reflect the exciting scenes emerging in those countries. The diversity and depth of Australian Aboriginal art is expressed in the work of five artists, representing some of the most dynamic aspects of Australian art today.' - from organiser's website.

Other parts of interest include a display showcasing artists from Papua New Guinea, and a corner for children.
