Len Lye Curator Tour

Len Lye Centre
All welcome.
Meet in the foyer.

Join the Gallery’s Len Lye Curator, Paul Brobbel for a walk and talk tour of the Len Lye exhibitions, 'Rainbow Dance' and 'Convolutions'.

Rainbow Dance:
'Rainbow Dance' surveys Len Lye’s multimedia practice over his fifty-year career with essential, must-see film and sculptural works together with lesser-known and recently conserved works from the Len Lye Foundation collection and archive completing the picture of one of Aotearoa’s most important artists.

Convolutions:
Alternatively known as Wall Serpent or Wall Motion Sculpture, 'Convolutions' is among Len Lye’s most intriguing large-scale kinetic sculptures, closer in spirit to the organic forms of his experimental film Tusalava (1929) and his biomorphic paintings of the 1930s than his typical kinetic sculpture of the 1960s.
