Duty Of Care

IMA and Griffith University Art Museum Presents
Duty of Care
Friday 30 August - Saturday 21 September 2024
Griffith University Art Museum in South Bank

Exploring the complexity of care.

'Care' is a murky notion entangled with ugly feelings of obligation burden exhaustion and sacrifice.

An international group show Duty of Care explores institutional and professional care care and gender care and race care and medicine artists as healers and extreme care.

In the art world there's a new emphasis on care with a focus on gentle attentiveness and good works and a fear of triggering hurt.

In curatorial practice and in culture more broadly 'care' has become a buzzword and is being used to reset policy and practice.

However too often the complexity of the topic is lost despite good intentions.

'Care' is sometimes a mask for coercion and control. It is co-opted by commerce as a marketing tool rebranded and repackaged as 'wellness' or 'self care'.

The 'uncaring' positions - libertarians and litterers meat eaters and gas guzzlers - are regularly ignored too.

How might these contingents inform our understanding of the practice of care? Can we separate the notion of care from our own feelings?

Explore these two concurrent exhibitions presented in a partnership between Griffith University Art Museum and the Institute of Modern Art.

The exhibition is advertised as being at the Institute of Modern Art in Fortitude Valley from June 29 to September 22 and at the Griffith University Art Museum in South Bank from August 25 to November 9.
