In 2019, the Institute of Modern Art will bring visionary new works by artists to Brisbane audiences and give global context to important questions of our time. Next year’s exhibition program includes the first survey exhibition of Brisbane-based artist Dale Harding’s practice; the first Australian solo exhibitions by Ana Mendieta, Christopher Kulendran Thomas in collaboration with Annika Kuhlmann, and Lawrence Abu Hamdan respectively; the group exhibition Haunt; as well as a large solo exhibition by Agatha Gothe-Snape.
Throughout the year, the IMA will be working with Liquid Architecture on a series of experimental sonic events titled Contra Listening, that will culminate during Abu Hamdan’s exhibition Earwitness Theatre.
Off-site a number of IMA exhibitions will tour nationally and internationally in 2019. Ross Manning‘s Dissonant Rhythms continues to tour to the country, heading to Caloundra Regional Gallery, QLD, Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery, VIC, and Latrobe Regional Gallery, VIC. Haegue Yang‘s Triple Vita Nestings is on display at the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery, New Plymouth, Aotearoa New Zealand, until March 2019. Current exhibition The Commute will transform into its second iteration The Layover for Auckland Arts Festival, before travelling to Vancouver Art Gallery, Canada, as Transits and Returns in late 2019.
Alongside these exhibitions will be our usual ambitious schedule of public programs. 2019 is bound to be another exciting year with more artists’ projects to be announced in the new year.
