Event Details
artspace-aotearoa.nzJoin Artspace Aotearoa for the exhibition opening of Prompts on Friday 31 January from 6pm.
Prompts will show the early work of leading practitioner Michael Parekōwhai and Turner Prize-winning UK artist Lubaina Himid. Each year, Artspace Aotearoa sets one question that our programme explores; in 2025 we ask, “is language large enough?” Prompts will bring the work of these two senior practitioners in contact for the first time to address language’s role in shaping identity and agency and to reflect on the significance of Artspace Aotearoa in art history.
This exhibition is presented in association with Auckland Arts Festival Te Ahurei Toi o Tāmaki Makaurau and Te Papa Tongarewa.
Thanks to the British Council New Zealand and the Pacific and Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki for supporting this kaupapa.
