Space to Dream: Open Late

Overview

With 41 artists' work on display, Space to Dream is the first major Latin American art exhibition to land in Australasia. Co-curated by Chilean Curator Beatriz Bustos Oyanedel and Auckland Art Gallery's Principal Curator Dr Zara Stanhope, the exhibition includes metres-long poetry, a bone, electricity and water installations, and a spice-laden sensory piece from latino artists of the 1960s until the present.

Space to Dream is a collection which embodies the subjective experience of existing in South America in the last 50 odd years. The collection "suggests how artists see a social significance for their work and how as rebels and revolutionaries, dreamers and poets, they have challenged, embraced, explained or transformed their realities, lives, cultures and spaces", according to Auckland Art Gallery.

September is Space to Dream's last month of residency at the Auckland Art Gallery, and with it comes the exhibition's only Open Late featuring a performance from Scuba Diva (best known for being a keyboardist in Lorde's band) and a DJ set from Friendly Potential.
