"Rudolf Boelee: her dissatisfaction"
2003-03-25 until 2003-04-17
Physics Room
Christchurch, ,
NZ New Zealand (Aotearoa)
After the success of his 'Runaway' show last year, Christchurch artist
Rudolf Boelee presents a new exhibition in association with Crown Lynn New
Zealand - a collective of artists and designers using the former trademark
of the now defunct ceramics company.
The new exhibition is titled 'her dissatisfaction' and follows on from a
2000 billboard produced by the Crown Lynn artists for a temporary site on
the High Street side of the Physics Room building. The billboard, titled
'The Ambiguous Image', used a still from a 1960's new wave film - a visual
style which has been an influence throughout much of Rudolf Boelee's
artistic career.
Boelee has revisited this billboard work in his new exhibition, presenting
it anew within the gallery. The scale and dimensions of the billboard are
similar to that of a movie screen and Boelee has continued his cinematic
theme throughout the exhibition, which also includes painting and a video
projection.
Dutch artist Rudolf Boelee has made Christchurch his home for the past 20
years, and this exhibition explores his observations of the "rather strange
phenomena of New Zealanders' ability to undervalue their environment and
the quality of life here."
