"Experiencing Turbulence: Art and The Weather"
2003-02-28 until 2003-08-15
Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa
Wellington, ,
NZ New Zealand (Aotearoa)
Experiencing Turbulence is a select exhibition offering an insight
into how visual artists respond to conditions created by the weather
and other natural forces.
The works, which include paintings, photographs, and a video installation,
span the last 120 years. Artists include Colin McCahon, Petrus van der
Velden, Natalie Robertson, and Anne Noble.
Some of the works use weather to directly represent a mood or state, while
others convey more subtly the reflection of human experience in natural
forces. Other works reflect the spiritual meaning that weather holds for
many artists.
Experiencing Turbulence is on now in the Ilott Centre. The exhibition runs
until mid August and admission is free.
