Govett-Brewster hits 40: pARTy

12 February 2010

Celebrating 40 years of relentless engagement with the new, New Plymouth's Govett-Brewster Art Gallery presents a spectacular, free, multimedia performance event on Saturday 27 March 2010 from 5.00pm – 10.30pm.

From 5pm a whakatau and karakia will open the Gallery, followed by a dramatic showing of Len Lye’s Trilogy (A Flip and Two Twisters) 1977 and launch of John Reynolds’ exhibition NOMADOLOGY [Loitering with Intent]. Contemporary kapa haka performances begin on the outdoor stage from 6.30pm.

As night falls, the Gallery will be turned inside out with a large-scale projection and accompanying sound installation by visual musician Tim Gruchy. This will be preluded by a performance from self-playing robot band, The Trons and followed by electronic dance duo Pitch Black. Proudly supported by Friends of the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery, TSB Community trust, Radio Network Taranaki and Te Kairanga Wines.
