What's on at City Gallery Wellington
This week, Tuatara Open Late turns five years old.
We’re celebrating tomorrow (Thurs 6 June) at June’s Open
Late. We’ve got lots of great things happening throughout
the evening; a discussion on Eva Rothschild’s work, sounds
from Radio Active FM DJ B.Lo, sci-fi book club, free
birthday treats from Grace Patisserie, a live performance
from Nadia Reid (now sold out), and lots more!
We look forward to this Sunday (9 June), when we screen 2001: A Space Odyssey. This sci-fi classic is strongly connected to our current exhibitions themes of time and space.
Read on to find out more about our events and exhibitions, and let me know if you’d like more information and images.

A giant punching
bag, a decorated concrete-block barricade, an upholstered

of young boys demolishing and repurposing art. London-based

modern-sculpture tradition, using eclectic forms and novel
materials. Don’t miss the chance to experience world-class
art in your local gallery.
