Stanley Place, South Bank, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
1.00-4.00pm Saturday 1 May -The curator and artists explore the themes and works presented in ‘Unnerved
Alex Monteith's work will be shown in Unnerved: The New Zealand Project in Brisbane.
"Holdings of contemporary work from New Zealand have grown rapidly since the early 1990s, partly through increased awareness and interest in the Asia Pacific Triennial exhibitions.
Unnerved explores a particularly rich dark vein that recurs in New Zealand contemporary art and cinema. Psychological or physical unease pervades many works in the exhibition, with humour, parody and poetic subtlety among the strategies used by artists across generations and genres."
Also included are Laureates Shane Cotton, Anne Noble, Michael Parekowhai, Peter Peryer, John Pule and Ronnie van Hout; Mark Adams (Marti Friedlander Photographic Residency recipient) and Florian Habicht (Harriet Friedlander New York Residency).
