FLY -TOWER
FLY-TOWER
With its successful opening night held last weekend at AUT University, the FLY-TOWER exhibition is up and running as part of the Auckland Festival: AK11, 5 - 13 March 2011. Located in the WA building, Level 2, 55 Wellesley Street, it is a final test site for New Zealand Perfomance Designers and Artists exhibiting at the 12th Prague Quadrennial of Perfomance Design and Space. FLY-TOWER, designed and curated by Sue Gallagher and Tracey Collins, is an eight metre high exhibition structure - a 'fly tower' - housing eight new performance and design works by New Zealand artists and designers. Intended to excite new ideas and possibilities, new production processes, and to stimulate dialogue between New Zealand artists and designers, FLY-TOWER operates as an event space for sequences of the design process, from pre- to post-production. FLY-TOWER forms a hybrid environment, an active space between designer's studio, production studio, and archive.
