After an international search, and a few months during which the director role has been left in limbo, Robert Leonard has been announced as taking up the top job at Brisbane’s Institute of Modern Art (IMA).
But if you’re having ‘a déjà vu moment’ at this news, you’re not alone. Leonard was Director at the organisation from 2005-2013. Just shy of a decade later, he is returning to the independent arts organisation to lead it into its next chapter.
