Unnerved: The New Zealand Project



There are big things happening at GoMA at the moment. Ron Mueck’s oversized, hyperrealistic sculptures of ordinary people, as has Unnerved: The New Zealand Project, which is heralded by two enormous inflatable rabbits.



There’s a lot to be unnerved by in this multimedia exhibition from the Land of the Long White Cloud, and those who love film as well as other forms of art have the extra treat of an extensive series of feature and short films that have emerged from New Zealand over the past few decades.



Major sculptures by Michael Parekowhai, installations by Lisa Reihana and Michael Stevenson, and photographic series by Yvonne Todd, Anne Noble and Greg Semu will feature alongside video art by Sriwhana Spong and Nathan Pohio.
