The IMA’s new Directors inaugural program features a new body of works by Dublin-based artist Sarah Browne, Hand to Mouth, alongside a survey of New York–based Mierle Laderman Ukeles’s Maintenance Art Works, which were produced between 1969 and 1980. The exhibitions open on Saturday, 11 October, at 5pm.

Browne’s exhibition departs from the historical relationship between the production of perishable textiles and invisible digital code, while Ukeles’s show explores life’s everyday routines. This is the first time that these artists are holding solo exhibitions in Australia and they are both exclusive to the IMA.

Ukeles’s exhibition is curated by Krist Gruijthuijsen, Director of Grazer Kunstverein, who will also give a tour of  Maintenance Art Works 1969–1980, at 5pm. The tour is free for IMA members and costs $5 for non-members.
