John Nixon: E.P. & O.W.

15 March - 11 May 1997 in the Entire Gallery

A special international artist project commissioned from Australian artist, John Nixon. The project allows Nixon to develop a medium scale room-based project that combines some previously exhibited pieces, with new work created especially for Wellington and Dunedin. The project is a further extension of his well established idea of an Experimental Painting Workshop.

Nixon’s installations turn their gallery locations into something that resemble the classroom, the laboratory, the studio, the storeroom, the refectory or the workshop. They are sites of assembly, of formal and conceptual organisation and of mnemonic reflection and practice. This exhibition includes a catalogue publication.

A joint venture project with Dunedin Public Art Gallery. Supported by Creative New Zealand.
