SIGNALS responds to the changing face of Auckland, a multi-cultural city with a rapidly changing demographic, where the mix of European, Maori and Pacific Island cultures is being enriched by new New Zealanders, notably from Asia.
The exhibition brings together artworks by Asian
artists who show with Starkwhite, along with others whose work engages with
traditional and contemporary art practice in Asia – work that speaks to Auckland’s
Asian communities who form a growing audience for contemporary art, with the
potential to expand the domestic art market.
SIGNALS runs from 9 August to 6 September.
