Clinton Watkins
Cont Ship 1
Cont Ship 1 is Clinton Watkins' industrial awe-making wonder-ship. If you watch
the vessel long enough it becomes a beautiful intervention in the seascape. A
minimalist painting of monochromatic picture planes which intersect with sky and
water. Watkins soundtrack booms out a foggy rhythm that comes from the deepest
chambers of the ship. White noise, city sounds and sonic technology evoke the
state of a perpetual mantra.

Sam Morrison
An Activation
Morrison's work recalls that of artist Alvin Lucier, whose seminal Music on a
Long Thin Wire was shown at Auckland Art Gallery in 1984.
"Morrison empowers his audience to become performers in exchange for activating
his otherwise dormant space. By exploring the environment sonically through a
variety of materials, he helps us become more closely acquainted with the world
around us," Andrew Clifford
3 November - 7 January
Oriori - A collaboration by Rachael Rakena, Kurt Adams and Jane Venis
An oriori is a Maori chant, performed for a wide range of purposes. Oriori
combines Rachel Rakena's interest in states of flux, Jane Veni's interest in
sound, and Kurt Adams' exploration of animated drawing. This project
contemplates the Auckland Art Gallery's imminent redevelopment, putting it to
rest to imagine its next reincarnation.
