Group Show: Conspicuous Consumption

Opening in the Main Gallery
Saturday 16 March 6-10pm as part of White Night

The Auckland Arts Festival takes place during March 2013, an event which celebrates the arts throughout greater Auckland and which promises to make the city snap, crackle and pop.
Conspicuous Consumption is a degustation of artistic interpretations about the meaning of sustenance and people’s relationship to it, focusing on one of our most evocative and provocative objects of attention: food. Featuring work by Katherine Batchelor, Janette Cervin, Graham Downs, Linda Gair, Robyn Gibson, Bev Goodwin, Weilun Ha, Andrea Halley, Joanna Lewton, Sue Lorimer, Sally Lush, Prue MacDougall, Sean McDonnell, Nyle Major, Biljana Popovic, Mandy Thomsett Taylor and Ruby Watson these artists explore the social, historical, cultural, emotional, sensory and symbolic aspects of what we consume.
