Imaginary Accord
Aileen 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)

Patrick Staff: The Foundation
Aileen Burns; Johan Lundh
Milan: Mousse Publishing, 2015.“This book documents the eponymous work by British artist, Patrick Staff, presented at the Chisenhale Gallery, London; Spike Island, Bristol; Contemporary Art Gallery, Vancouver; and the Institute of Modern Art, Brisbane. The film combines footage shot at the Tom of Finland Foundation in Los Angeles–home to the archive of the erotic artist and gay icon and a community of people that care for it–with choreographic sequences shot within a specially constructed set.” (publisher’s blurb)
