Description: The frontier marks the point at which the soaring ideals of modernity touch ground, indicating how the "outside" was produced, exploited, and policed through colonialism. Frontier Imaginaries is a research and art commissioning project dedicated to studying the ongoing significance of the frontier in the global era. Launching from the standpoint of the settler-colony, the project touches various cities around the globe. In each edition contributors participate in remapping the global dramas of property and progress, seeking to challenge their precepts in the process. This first volume compiles materials from two exhibitions in Brisbane with new essays and interviews.
Notes: Catalog of an exhibition held at QUT Art Museum, Brisbane, May 14-August 14, 2016; and Institute of Modern Art, Brisbane, May 14-July 9, 2016.
