A Brief History of Time
For all of you back in Aotearoa there is an exhibition opening tonight (Tuesday) at the Engine Room in Wellington (to be found on Taranaki Street). Really wish I could check it out. I knew Tao when I was living in Christchurch about 10 years ago. I knew he went to New York for a while, but apart from that I didn’t know what he had been up to. So I had a bit of a poke around on google and found an interesting interview with Tao Wells. Great to see he is still rockin’.
A Brief History of Time
Amy Howden-Chapman, Shay Launder and Tao Wells.
Curated by Kim Paton
Opening celebration Tuesday 17 October, 5:30pm
October 18 – November 3
The Engine Room is proud to present A Brief History of Time featuring Amy Howden-Chapman, Shay Launder and Tao Wells.
A Brief History of Time brings together three Wellington artists exploring strategies for art making in a climate of increasing political environmentalism. Whether as skeptic or believer, the artists put forth personalized accounts, affronts, or asides to modern living.
In a search for new responses to the way we experience the world, the artists in A Brief History of Time share an interest in new modes of material use, employing a resourcefulness and enterprise that expresses a local positioning in the context of the current global milieu.
A Brief History of Time is curated by Engine Room gallery manager Kim Paton and is the final show in The Engine Room 2006 programme.
The Engine Room is a public art gallery focused on developing as an important site within Wellington for the exhibition of diverse and interesting contemporary art. Established in late 2005, The Engine Room is located on the Massey University campus and is managed by the School of Fine Arts.
