German curator and writer Axel Wieder visits Brisbane for the first time, speaking at the IMA.
Wieder is currently the director of Bergen Kunsthall in Norway and was previously the director of Index— the Swedish Contemporary Art Foundation in Stockholm (2014-2018), and head of program at Arnolfini Centre of Contemporary Arts in Bristol (2012-2014). In this talk he discusses his time working on past projects, speaking specifically about the city as field of resonance, exhibitions as activities, and his experiences at both smaller and larger institutions.
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.
