9 Sep — 16 Dec
Rainbow Serpent (version)
Institute of Modern Art and Brisbane Festival present
An invitation to reconsider the spaces and places we inhabit.
Australian Premiere
By Daniel Boyd
Daniel Boyd has achieved international acclaim for his infinite and dynamic universes, which reframe and reflect the darker side of Australian history. Rainbow Serpent (version) is the first major presentation of the artist’s work in Brisbane, and features an ambitious new commission developed in partnership with Gropius Bau, Berlin.
Across site-specific installation, participatory programs and painting, Rainbow Serpent (version) contends with the legacy of imperialism in our built environment, civic spaces and architectural monuments. Rendered in Boyd’s distinctive circular motif, the Institute of Modern Art’s gallery floors will be transformed into a stage-like mirrored surface, activated by scholars, artists, community groups, and activists throughout the duration of the exhibition.
Daniel Boyd: Rainbow Serpent (version) is presented by the Institute of Modern Art and Gropius Bau in association with Brisbane Festival. The project is supported by the NSW Government through Create NSW and by the Australian Government through the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory body.
