Artist Projects

Since the 1970s, Auckland Art Gallery has championed the role of artist projects in its programme, with Aucklanders often taking a lead role. Projects have been site-specific and the art often intersects with the environment. Artists had an open approach to the 'content' and 'context' of an artwork. This was a lively time. Experimental forms of practice often bewildered the public but artists were encouraged within the proactive environment of the Gallery. Today, the term 'Artist Project' is more broadly understood as installation-making has become far more common.
