Brisbane Airport Fresh Cut 2009

4 July–22 August 20094 Jul–22 Aug 2009

Yes, it’s that time again. Time for our annual showcase of emerging Queensland artists. Last year we revised the format of the show with support from our major partner Brisbane Airport. Now we offer four artists up to six years out of art school who have not shown at the IMA before $5,000 each to create new work for the show. This year’s artists are Aaron Burton, Sarah Byrne, Tim Kerr, and Hiromi Tango. They were chosen by artist Jemima Wyman; Simon Wright, QCA Gallery Director; and Robert Leonard, IMA Director. This year’s show is big on video. Three of our four artists work principally in the medium.

The Institute of Modern Art acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land upon which the IMA now stands, the Jagera, Yuggera, Yugarapul, and Turrbal people. We offer our respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the first artists of this country. In the spirit of allyship, the IMA will continue to work with First Nations people to celebrate, support, and present their immense past, present, and future contribution to artistic practice and cultural expression.
