About this Exhibition
The first comprehensive survey exhibition of this acclaimed New Zealand sculptor. Focusing on the period between 1980 and 2010, this spectacular exhibition explores the artist's rich and diverse practice, which spans performance, sculpture, installation, drawing, photography and technology.
Drummond is renowned for consistently producing engaging and dynamic large-scale mixed-media works that explore themes relating to the land and the human body, machines and movement. The exhibition features a major new kinetic sculpture, installed in the Gallery's foyer, and is accompanied by a stunning catalogue.
Quite simply, his work reflects sheer engineering excellence.
