Guest Info
  • Yvette Ofa Agapow works at the intersection of noise, ambient, and drone music, vocal and percussion improvisation. She interrogates her personal relationship to pain, catharsis, sexual hysteria, and feminine subjectivity.

    Ross Manning facilitates interactions of light, sound, and physics. He cannibalises and Frankensteins machines, experimenting with their sonic potential. Repurposing technologies, he creates dynamic sculptures and atmospheric installations.

    Mong Mong are drummer Boddhi Farmer and guitarist Glen Schenau. May stone dead hearts break, like so many rusted strings when Mong Mong swing.

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.
