Director Robert Leonard introduces James Barth’s exhibition, The Clumped Spirit.
The Clumped Spirit is presented as part of Copyright Agency Partnerships, an annual commissioning series supporting mid-career and established visual artists to develop and present a major new body of work. It is a joint project with UNSW Galleries, Gadigal/Sydney, and supported by the Copyright Agency’s Cultural Fund, the IMA Commissioners Circle, and UNSW New Contemporaries.
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.
