Imaginary Accord
AU$30.00 Read MoreAdd to cartAileen 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)

Simon Starling: In Speculum
AU$20.00 Read MoreAdd to cartMax Delany
Melbourne: Monash University Museum of Art, 2013.“English artist Simon Starling—who won the prestigious Turner Prize in 2005—is celebrated for his erudite projects. His works explore the legacies of modernism and globalisation by addressing peculiar histories surrounding specific objects and sites of art, design, and science. While they mine real histories, there is always something unexpected, excessive, witty, perverse, serendipitous, convoluted, or crafty about them.”

What Is Appropriation? An Anthology of Writings on Australian Art in the 1980s & 1990s
AU$45.00 Read MoreAdd to cartRex 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.”

Frontier Imaginaries Edition No 1: Frontier
AU$20.00 Read MoreAdd to cartVivian Ziheri
Amsterdam: Frontier Imaginaries, 2016.“Frontier Imaginaries Ed No1 offers a chance to reflect upon how, why, and with what tools locally-focused projects can be meaningfully connected across vastly separate geographies. Are publications valuable means of transmitting the specific work of an exhibition across time and territories? Do more recent communications technologies offer other tools that may be more useful? From the art-making perspective, what can be learned and/or contributed to the approaches of current social movements that strive to effect local change within systems of globalised power-relations?”
