Double Opening

  • Event Cost:
    Free

Celebrate the start of our Autumn season with a double opening on Saturday 1 April, Fiona Tan and Liam O’Brien.

Fiona Tan’s film installation Nellie (2013) takes its point of departure from the imagined life of a forgotten woman, Cornelia van Rijn, who was the illegitimate daughter of the famed seventeenth-century painter, Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn.

As part of the IMA’s ongoing commitment to Queensland experimental art practice, we are hosting the inaugural Jeremy Hynes Award exhibition in April. The 2015 recipient, Liam O’Brien, will present his recent video work, Possessions (2016).

Free admission, all welcome.

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.
