Lovers & Castaways
6 March - 9 June
Ground Floor Galleries
Lovers & Castaways explores the decade in which Aotearoa experienced a shift in its social, political and economic landscape – the 1980s – through artworks drawn from the Arts House Trust Collection.
It was a decade in which artists sought to express what matters to them in greater fluency and confidence, with many of their concerns still resonating in the present day. Questions around nationhood, identity, what we value, and the country’s relationship with the wider world carry a timeless pertinence through artworks that showcase the diversity and depth in how artists sought to explore these concerns.
Presented in association with the Auckland Arts Festival.
