Cerith Wyn Evans Things are conspicuous in their absence...
When Cerith Wyn Evans watched subtitled films on TV as a teenager, he became fascinated by the gap in understanding between the text and the picture. Here his neon text recalls a time in the past, when something that has now disappeared from view was taken for granted. What’s been lost? Perhaps a person, or an object, or even a way of life; the viewer is invited to consider their own response to loss and change. The memory of lost things is a constant feature of the present.
(Now, Then, Next: Time and the Contemporary, 15 June 2019 – 8 March 2020)

Been to some lame ‘youth’ events lately?
Now’s your chance to help create a cool event for you and your friends!
The Mix is Christchurch’s Art Gallery bi-monthly late-night event – an interactive mix of art, music, film and good people. We want to run a Mix designed, curated and for under 18s – ReMix.
