Enjoy a floortalk from lead curator Felicity Milburn on the opening day of this new exhibition.
Full of humour, surprise and heart, this exhibition reveals how borrowed or re-imagined bodies can help us explore what it means to be human. Dummies & Doppelgängers combines sculpture, video, photography and more from the Gallery’s own collection and around Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia, including captivating works by artists including Sarah Lucas, Yuki Kihara, Patricia Piccinini, Ah Xian, Michael Parekōwhai, Tony Oursler, Ron Mueck and Ronnie van Hout. It’s an exuberant and unexpectedly touching selection that will take you from the hyper-real to the surreal, and from the tender to the absurd.
