Current Exhibitions – Free Entry
Cao Fei: #18
On now until Sun 10 March
Cao Fei is one of China’s leading contemporary artists. She dragged the art world into the virtual world with RMB City
(2007–11), a virtual metropolis built and hosted on the online platform Second Life. Her work continues to explore the
fluid boundaries between physical and virtual existence, especially as mediated by art, industry, and technology. Please
see our website for screening schedule.
Yona Lee: In Transit
On now until Sun 24 March
Yona Lee makes large, maze-like installations. Hundreds of metres of stainless-steel pipe are cut and welded to form
elaborate linear structures, bisecting and transforming gallery spaces and the activities that take place there. By
incorporating a miscellany of surprising urban and domestic fixtures, Lee infuses her pipe structures with an everyday
surrealism.
From Scratch: 555 Moons
On now until Sun 10 March
From Scratch is New Zealand’s best-known art/music ensemble. Formed in 1974, by Philip Dadson, it draws on aspects of
experimental, minimal, and non-Western musics, and on Fluxus, minimal art, and post-object art. From Scratch is known
for its invented instruments, its utopian egalitarian politics, and its engagement with the sounds and rhythms of the
Pacific.
