The IMA is pleased to launch Mikala Dwyer’s monograph Drawing Down the Moon. For more than twenty years, Dwyer has pushed the limits of sculpture and performance, establishing herself as one of Australia’s most engaging contemporary artists. To launch her book, Dwyer has invited Brisbane-artist Caitlin Franzmann to deliver her performance Magical Thinking. Dwyer curated Franzmann into 2014’s Primavera at the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, Sydney. Drawing Down the Moon was produced in conjunction with Dwyer’s eponymous exhibition held at the IMA in 2012. It features essays by Anthony Byrt, Toni Ross, and Michael Taussig, and an interview with Robert Leonard.

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.
