Sorry this event has been and gone
Premiering at Auckland Arts Festival before heading to the 12th
Prague Quadrennial of Performance Design and Space,
FLY-TOWER showcases New Zealand innovation in the field of
performance design.
Performance
Designer and Artist talk: Sunday 6 March, 2:00pm -
4:00pm
Where: AUT Conference Centre WA224
FLY-TOWER, designed and curated by Sue Gallagher and
Tracey Collins, is an eight metre high exhibition structure - a
'fly tower' - housing eight new performance and design works by New
Zealand artists and designers. Each work is 'performed' for
an hour and then 'flies' back into the upper region of the tower
allowing the next work to be lowered to centre stage. Created to
expand the conceptions and scope of performance design, the works
explore the evolving space and processes between visual arts,
performance, theatre, architecture, film, and design practice.
Intended to excite new ideas and possibilities, new production
processes, and to stimulate dialogue between New Zealand artists
and designers, FLY-TOWER operates as an event space for
sequences of the design process, from pre- to
post-production. FLY-TOWER forms a hybrid
environment, an active space between designer's studio, production
studio, and archive.
Please note: FLY-TOWER finishes earlier than originally
publicised. Exhibition now runs Sat 5 March - Sat 12
March.
Open during White Night, 12 March, 6:00pm
- 9:00pm.
