24 January - 15 April 2012

For the New Zealand International Arts Festival 2012, the Adam Art Gallery presents a suite of four solo exhibitions that offer different takes on photography. Recording people and places, these artists’ projects model strikingly different documentary approaches, offering viewers a provocative opportunity to ask what it means when a camera is used to capture a subject, both in the moment and for posterity.

Artist talks and mid point party: Saturday 17 March 2012, 7pm.

For more details on the Camera Work public programme including a series of documentary film screenings at the New Zealand Film Archive please review

The Park is a joint project with the Centre of Contemporary Photography, Melbourne and IMA, Brisbane. Fiona Amundsen’s The First City in History is supported by Asia New Zealand Foundation, New Zealand Japan Exchange Programme and Auckland University of Technology. John Lake’s project was commissioned for the Victoria University of Wellington Art Collection in 2011. Simon Starling’s work is staged in partnership with The Physics Room, Christchurch.

SOUND CHECK: BETWEEN THE SLIDING DOORS

Cadence
Dugal McKinnon
24 January - 15 April 2012

A catalogue of final cadences – musical conclusions – generatively recombined to create a cascade of sound that perpetually defers the final barline, engaging the listener in a narrative of endings.

Dugal McKinnon is a composer of electronic, instrumental and multimedia work, a sound artist, and a writer on contemporary music. Recent projects include a work for the Dutch ensemble Lunapark, and Arcades, a collaboration with David Prior resulting in the album Who’s Most Lost? (Rattle Records). His installation projects include the exhumation of analogue media in Popular Archeology: Cassette, 1967-1994, the sonification of live seismic data streams in Geophony, and numerous collaborations with London Fieldworks, notably Superkingdom: Monarchy which was awarded an Honourable Mention in the 2010 Prix Ars Electronica. With Sophie Jerram, he co-directs Now Future, an organisation working at the intersection of art and ecology. Dugal teaches sonic art and composition at the New Zealand School of Music in Wellington.
