For the past ten years, Goldin+Senneby has used methods and tools inspired by the financial sector to illuminate and subvert our late-capitalist system. The IMA is pleased to present the second iteration of their mutating retrospective, Standard Length of a Miracle, which premiered at Tensta konsthall, Stockholm, last year. Responding to the challenge of mounting a retrospective in Australia and at the same time resisting the urge to pack up the physical traces of all past projects and ship them around the world, the artists will present bootlegs and replicas of major works.
For the Brisbane iteration, Goldin+Senneby have invited Camila Marambio and Amaara Raheem to act as interlocutors and to produce a new performative installation, Counter-Distillery, which will challenge and complement the through-lines in their practice. Headless will also be activated by long-time spokesperson for Goldin+Senneby, Angus Cameron, in conversation with Mary Graham. The exhibition will conclude with a magic demonstration, Acid Money, performed by magician Malin Nilsson.
