Making Art Work

IMA Belltower at the Judith Wright Arts Centre

6 December–19 December 20206 Dec–19 Dec 2020

Making Art Work—a commissioning initiative responding to the COVID-19 lockdowns—launched in June with artworks presented online via makingart.work. Since re-opening, IMA Belltower at Judith Wright Arts Centre has become a project space to physically present these works at the gallery.

This latest iteration of Making Art Work at IMA Belltower includes works from the third and fourth commissioning rounds of the project.

About Making Art Work:
Taking place across 2020, the project will see over 40 artists create new works that reinforce the importance of creative labour in a time when the cultural and economic value of art has been diminished. Drawing from the politicised language of our current crisis, each artist has been asked to respond to the provocations posed by four curatorial pillars; Unprecedented TimesIndustrial ActionsPermanent Revolution, and Relief Measures.

Artists

Maeve Baker, Richard Bell, Mia Boe, Digi Youth Arts, Daisy HamlotRachael HaynesInkahoots, Amelia McLeish, Tyza Stewart, and Liesel Zink.

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.
