Past event
Philip Carter Family Auditorium
In celebration of our new exhibition Imagined in the context of a room, join us for a free programme of short moving image works.
Six Artists respond to the work of Joanna Margaret Paul (50 mins) features works by Nova Paul, Rachel Shearer, Sonya Lacey, Miranda Parkes, Shannon Te Ao and the collective Popular Productions.
A prolific film-maker, poet, photographer and painter, the work of Joanna Paul (1945-2003) quietly observed the intimate poetics of the domestic and the modest grace of her bucolic surroundings. The programme was curated by Solomon Nagler and Mark Williams. Commissioned by CIRCUIT Artist Film and Video Aotearoa New Zealand with the support of Creative New Zealand.
