James Luna: Urban (Almost) Rituals Public Discussion
Tuesday 12th May 2009, 6pm
Enjoy Public Art Gallery, Cuba Street, Wellington
For over three decades Luna (Luiseño, Pooyukitchchum/Ipai) has been
creating visual art, interdisciplinary exhibitions and performances
that are informed by his native culture, use modern technology and
speak to current issues and declare them to be ‘authentic'. Don’t be
fooled, however, that he is a nice (safe) Indian storyteller. His
stories are both humorous and painful. They evoke ancient cultural
values and provoke questions of contemporary native identity while
debunking stereotypes. At Enjoy, James will be showing several short
video-pieces, and speaking to their context and content: Don't miss
this opportunity to be an audience to an un-scripted insight into the
artist's process and practice.
Luna
is in Wellington as part of the One Day Sculpture series, where his
project Urban (Almost) Rituals will be taking place. Commissioned by
Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, Urban (Almost) Rituals will
unfold from 8am on 14 May 2009, at Te Papa, in the Soundings Theatre in Te Papa.

Event ArchiveEasy Listening: Talks in Art and Culture with Bik Van der Pol
Tuesday 7 April, 6pm
ELAM Lecture Theatre
Whitaker Place, Auckland
You are invited to a talk by Elam International Artists in Residence – Bik Van der Pol. Liesbeth Bik and Jos Van der Pol have worked collectively as Bik Van der Pol since 1995. In vastly differing formats spanning installation, temporary public architecture, workshops, billboards, live collaborative events and publications they explore the potential of art to produce and transmit knowledge. Proceeding from an engagement with place, their working methods are based on co-operation and research, often involving direct exchange with their audiences and/or institutional partners. By these means they seek to 'activate situations' and create platforms for various kinds of communicative activities.
This week Bik Van der Pol are participating in the ONE DAY SCULPTURE Project with 1440 minutes towards the development of a site. This will take place between the hours of 00.00 and 23.59 on Wednesday 8 April at the Band Rotunda – Albert Park, Auckland.

Event ArchiveRoman Ondák Good Feelings in Good Times (2003)Friday March 7 2008, 10am-5pm
Wellington
On Friday 7 March 2008 between 10am and 5pm, Slovakian artist Roman Ondák staged his acclaimed project Good Feelings in Good Times. First realised outside the Kölnischer Kunstverein, Cologne and adapted for Frieze Art Fair in 2004, the work consisted of a queue of people that formed across various locations in central Wellington over the course of one day.
Ondák is well known internationally for his staging of familiar scenarios in which unexpected actions occur. Taking the form of installations, performances and interventions, his works often affect a double-take, provoking viewers to question their understanding and perceptions of everyday life.
