Imaginary Accord
Aileen Burns; Madeleine King; Johan Lundh
Brisbane: Institute of Modern Art, 2017.“Is an art institution only an imagined entity–a temporary constellation of agreements, negotiations, and arrangements–or is it something more fixed? This publication both documents and reinvigorates the fortieth anniversary activities of the Institute of Modern Art (IMA): the exhibition Imaginary Accord; the nine-part lecture series and two-day symposium, What Can Art Institutions Do?; and the online archive, 40years.ima.org.au, that charts the IMA and its immediate historical context. This series of creative and critical projects explored the historical mission of one of Australia’s oldest public galleries, while imagining what the founding principles of a contemporary art institution could mean today and for the future.” (publisher’s blurb)

What Is Appropriation? An Anthology of Writings on Australian Art in the 1980s & 1990s
Rex Butler
Brisbane: Institute of Modern Art, 2004.“It was probably Ad Reinhardt, though it could have been Sherrie Levine or even Andy Warhol, who remarked that you only know you are doing something original when everybody else is doing it. This book explores this and other paradoxes raised by the practice of appropriation the quotation and use of other artists’ work that became widespread in the 1980s. Why was the practice so uniquely popular in Australia? What did it say about the relationship of Australian art to the art of other countries; about white art to Aboriginal art; and about contemporary art to the art of the past? How and why does appropriation fundamentally challenge habitual ways of looking at pictures and thinking about art? The essays and pictures in this book provide answers to these questions, but always in the knowledge that the enigma of appropriation remains.”

Peter Madden
Evie Franzidis
Brisbane: Institute of Modern Art, 2011.“New Zealand collage artist Peter Madden draws much of his imagery from old issues of National Geographic. He plunders and reworks the magazines discredited empire of signs to forge his own. His surrealistic pictures, objects, and installationswith their watchmaker detail and intensityhave been described as microcosms and intricate kingdoms of flying forms Madden has one foot in the vanitas still-life tradition and the other in new-age thinking. On the one hand, he is death obsessed: a master of morbid decoupage. (Moths and butterfliessymbols of transient lifeabound. His assemblages in bell jars suggest some Victorian taxidermist killing time in his parlour.) On the other hand, with his flocks, schools, and swarms of quivering animal energy, he revels in biodiversity and magic. Maddens works manage to be at once morbid and abundant, rotting and blooming, creepy and fey. This book serveys Maddens work of the last ten years.” Essay by Tessa Laird. Interview by Robert Leonard.
