The Bomb

Avangard/PinkPunk

8 Mar – 18 Apr 2005
2005

The Bomb was an ironic comment on the decades-long hysteria about nuclear threat and growing up in the shadow of imminent nuclear disaster. For a New Zealand audience, this had the paradoxical quality of coming from the other side of the 'Iron Curtain'.

After a busy and exciting period of travel and the staging of a series of highly successful art exhibitions and events overseas, Angela Meyer returned to New Zealand bringing with her an exhibition of work by four female artists from here and abroad. Hunt draws on several of the tenets of the Arte Povera style; displaying open-ended experimentation towards materials and processes and scepticism towards overly intellectualised concepts, completed with a light, delicate and human touch.

TAKE: 001

27 Apr – 3 Jul 2004
2004
A programme of one take videos at Enjoy

TAKE: 001 came about from the desire of curator Louise Tulett to run a video programme that considered moving image as a medium well suited to capturing experiences in relation to their length. Essentially, as quoted from the submission call: "I want to make a show of screenings about the decision to press record and the decision to stop". The videos on show are a varied and intriguing response to this initially open-ended parameter.
