Background:
How can an artwork portray invisibility?
Invisible is an international travelling exhibition where 21 artists from Polish, American, and New Zealand universities have come together to answer this question and respond to the idea of Invisibility through a diverse range of media. The selected works depart from scientific narratives to also cover philosophy, mathematics, love, mythology, ecology, technology and communication. Playing with the macro and micro and with time, both its duration and cycles, the exhibition speaks to the idea that the invisible is something that can become present with technology; that technology has allowed us to see the unseen.
The show has already been viewed at the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Detroit, U.S.A, and at the BWA Gallery of Contemporary Art in Wroclaw, Poland. As the third and final showing of the work, we celebrate the sense of community created by the coming together of artists from around the globe.
The artists from the College of Creative Arts at Massey showcase the cross-disciplinary nature of the creative arts and feature faculty from Ngā Pae Māhutonga School of Design, including Kerry Ann Lee, Simon Eastwood, Lisa Munnelly, Lee Jensen, Angela Kilford and Jason O’Hara.
The exhibition will be open weekdays from 23 April – 20 May, 9am-5pm.
