One night only: Statues, Emily O’Hara
TUESDAY FEBRUARY 7TH, Gallery 3, 39 Symonds St
This exhibition marks the formal culmination of Emily O’Hara’s Masters research and practice. The works shown combine the creative practices of filmmaking, photography, spatial installation and performance in a gallery installation of serial interlinking works that instantiate the question of identity (in relation to naming) via the image and text, time and space, movement and death. Aspects of gender, domesticity, language and lying have been folded into the practice as a means through which non-traditional performance spaces are located, enacted and legitimised.

Andrew Denton, Horizon Line and Forest/No Forest
Two works from the Art+Design Moving Image Group have recently been on show in the Spatial Design building. Horizon Line is a 360° panorama of the Tongariro National Park, shot with computer-controlled high-definition cameras. (Andrew Denton, Adrian McNaught & Rene Burton). Forest / No forest : GPS location / time / date (Andrew Denton) is a two-channel projection of a site in the Woodhill Forest Park, selected by GPS, before and after logging. More images.
