29 ROSS MANNING: DISSONANT RHYTHMS In 2017 the IMA presented Brisbane-based artist and musician Ross Manning ’s first-ever survey exhibition, Dissonant Rhythms . Best known for his use of everyday materials, Manning’s major exhibition features sculptures that repurpose ceiling fans, fluorescent tubes, and overhead projectors, creating exquisite interplays of light and sound. Dissonant Rhythms will be touring across Australia 2018–2020, in partnership with Museums and Galleries Queensland. In 2018 the exhibition tours to regional Queensland galleries including Caboolture Regional Art Gallery (2 February–4 March), Tableland Regional Gallery (10 September–29 October), and Pinnacles Gallery, Townsville (30 November 2018–27 January 2019).
