Join Gordon Hookey for the launch of his monograph A Murriality, which accompanies his first survey exhibition, on view at the IMA until 23 December. With essays by José Da Silva, Bruce Johnson McLean, Liz Nowell, and Pablo José Ramírez, and conversational texts from Shannon Brett and Jax Compton, it’s a rich survey of Hookey’s work from the early 1990s to the present. Following an introductory conversation with Katina Davidson, Hookey will sign books—drawing one of his iconic kangaroos in each copy purchased.
