Performance Projects
Curated by Andrew Clifford
Performance Projects commemorates the Auckland Art Gallery's role in
supporting performance artists during the dynamic period of the 1970s, when an
intermingling of music, literature, philosophy, politics and art occurred. In
2006 a new generation of performers are being celebrated.

Simon Denny and Tahi Moore
A movie that isn't really good, but is o.k.
Artists Simon Denny and Tahi Moore present an exploration of performed
activities and familiar materials, reconsidering our relationships with actions
and objects.
Sunday October 1, 1pm
Plains
Plains is a gathering of some of Auckland's top names in contemporary electronic
music who will perform together in the spirit of the "Tape Loop Jam" sessions
that experimental musicians and sound artists presented in the Auckland Art
Gallery in the 1970s using reel-to-reel machines.

Daniel Malone
Floor Piece
Daniel Malone's performance 'Floor Piece' will continue his engagement with both
physical and metaphorical structures of value and power that have seen him work
with ceramics in the form of 'revolutionary bricks', floating a car on
earthenware toilet rolls, installing a Long Drop in the Art Gallery of New South
Wales, architectural alterations becoming in situ installations of rubble and
Maori carving in wood from the felled pine of One Tree Hill.
Sunday October 29, 1pm
Joyoti Wylie
Multimedia artist Joyoti Wylie uses poetry and voice to explore multiple
identities. Like a bird that hears a machine and mimics it, she copies voices
of filmic icons with those overheard in private conversations, incorporating her
own ruminations and delusional night voices. This performance reflects on the
constantly changing faces of galleries. |
