About this audio guide

This guide to the Institute of Modern Art in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane, turns on one night in June nineteen ninety, when director Nicholas Tsoutas asked thirty-five local artists to answer the art world's soaring auction prices with their own hands. You'll hear how a gallery founded in nineteen seventy-five, with no permanent collection of its own, became a stage for that kind of irreverence. Listen for the names of the painters who took part, working in the very rooms you're standing in.
