Artist Talk: Anthony McCall (UK / USA)
Auckland City Council Public Art Projects – Artist Lecture Series #5
British artist Anthony McCall (born 1946), who now lives and works in New York, is, without question, one of the seminal artists of British and American avant-garde cinema. His cross-disciplinary practice in which film, sculpture, installation, drawing and performance overlap began in the 1970s, experienced a gap of nearly 20 years, and was re-opened this decade with his ‘solid light’ series, this time using digital projectors rather than 16mm film. Anthony McCall's films, made of light-beams, outlined against mist, turns cinema into sculpture.
Auckland City Council is pleased to present Anthony McCall’s public lecture in partnership with Adam Art Gallery, Victoria University of Wellington.
McCall is visiting Auckland as part of a public art project briefing, in conjunction with an exciting portfolio of major public art commissions planned for the city, which will be developed over the next few years. The council is currently working with selected artists from New Zealand and overseas on concepts.
The Conference Centre, 22 Symonds St (the building with the Paul Hartigan light work), between the School of Engineering and the School of Architecture, University of Auckland
