Unseen
City Until 13 March, 2016

Camille Henrot: Grosse Fatigue
Until 13 March,
2016
French artist Camille Henrot's encylopaedic
video Grosse Fatigue (2013) takes on the history of
the universe. Henrot mashes scientific history and creation
stories, the rational and the mythic, computers and
primitive mindsets.
Grayson Perry / Kushana
Bush Until 20 March, 2016
Turner Prize-winning artist, writer and broadcaster, Grayson Perry CBE is a British institution. His tapestry Map of Truths and Beliefs (2011) catalogues current pilgrimage destinations, religious and secular, including Mecca, Stonehenge, Auschwitz, Davos and Wembley. Woven on a computerised loom, it recalls the fanciful, allegorical maps of medieval times. Like Perry, Dunedin artist Kushana Bush's intricate and colourful tragi-comic paintings comment on modern life but are loaded with references to arts of other times and places—to Indo-Persian miniatures, and Japanese prints, illuminated manuscripts and early-Renaissance paintings
Julian Dashper & Friends
Until 26 April, 2016
A show which pays tribute to a figure in
contemporary New Zealand art, Julian Dashper (1960-2009).
The exhibition features more than 35 works from Dashper and
artists that influenced him, his contemporaries and those
who followed. The show includes work from Colin McCahon,
Rita Angus and Billy Apple.

Sister Corita’s Summer of Love
23 July – 6 November
