Dane Mitchell, Dunedin Public Art Gallery (Specimen 001), (2003), ARCHIVING FEVER
Just opened at Wellington's Adam Art Gallery is Archiving Fever, an exhibition exploring memory, archiving, fiction and the impulse to build narrative. Curated by Emily Cormack, the show features the work of nine artists from New Zealand, Italy, Austria and Singapore, mixing in the mediums of video, photography and installation.
Mexican artist Gaston Ramirez, whose video work Gotcha feautures as part of the exhibition, will be performing an intervention, Urban (Play) Traces, on Upper Cuba Street this Monday, 7 August at 1pm. Highlighting the changing face of the city and its many layers of history, Ramirez will be performing the intervention in rememberance of the houses and artist studios that have been demolished or removed to give way for Wellington's upcomming Inner City Bypass. Archiving Fever runs until 1 October.
