Hany Armanious - Blindness


Morphic Resonance at the City Gallery
Now on at Wellington’s City Gallery is Morphic Resonance, the most comprehensive solo showing of the work of Sydney-based artist Hany Armanious in New Zealand to date. Curated by Heather Galbraith, the show features several of Armanious’ most well-known works, playfully installed in the downstairs gallery space. Among that the sights to be seen are the artists’ infamous exploding foam muffins, his neo pagan sculptures and a bubble-making contraption endlesslessly recording its data into an accumulating paper stream. Response to the work has already been strong so if you’re in Wellington, be sure not to miss this one.
Morphic Resonance runs at the City Gallery until 29 July.

A selection of 26 such films can currently be seen at The Film Archive in Wellington, Tanka Films – visual and text interpretations of tanka, the unrhymed Japanese verse of five lines. Von Sturmer will be giving a live performance at the Archive this Friday 25 May at 6pm.
