Darcy Lange Bradford Schools Darcy Lange Survey At Adam Art Gallery
Now showing at Wellington’s Adam Art Gallery is a survey of mixed media work by pioneering New Zealand artist Darcy Lange (1946-2005). The exhibition, Darcy Lange: Study of an artist at work includes the artist’s video, film, sculpture and photographic work focusing on his seminal documentary studies of people at work. Study of an artist at work is curated by Mercedes Vicente and was first shown at New Plymouth’s Govett-Brewster earlier in the year. Mercedes says: "Lange had a remarkable early career; he enjoyed the recognition of critics and curators as well as his artist peers. He was very much part of the 1970s international avant-garde and video art scene in London and New York, however he remained a marginal figure in New Zealand."
Darcy Lange: Study of an artist at work shows at Adam Art Gallery until May 13. www.vuw.ac.nz/adamartgal
