Telecom Prospect 2004: New Art New Zealand Spanning four venues including City Gallery Wellington, The Adam Art Gallery,
The New Zealand Film Archive and Massey University, Telecom Prospect 2004 sprawls across the Capital in a city-wide
celebration of the visual arts, across galleries, cinemas, a hall, the local bus service, your cell phone and even your
home PC. Each exhibition venue will offer audiences a complete show in itself, while, at the same time functioning as
one sentence in a much larger conversation that is Telecom Prospect 2004.
An online catalogue www.telecomprospect2004.org.nz accompanies the exhibition, overflowing with opinions, information
and images relating to the exhibition, its artists and New Zealand contemporary culture. You can sign up for email
updates, post your view about the exhibition, and participate in Ronnie van Hout's interactive artwork On The Run, made
possible by Telecom Advance Solutions technology.
