Correspondences

Overview

Australia and New Zealand often engage in light-hearted rivalry. Who has the prettiest scenery? Who has the best music? But when it all boils down, we love our New Zealand neighbours who have given the world a fabulous backdrop for the Lord of the Rings films, Lorde and much more.

Boxcopy has joined forces with new Zealand public art gallery, Enjoy, to create a special exhibition to celebrate wonderful art born from this long-distance relationship.

The theme of Correspondences is communication and exchange. Both Australian and New Zealand based artists will be working collaboratively for the first time and will be creating a view of the other, separated by the ditch.

The art on show at Boxcopy will focus on social interactions and collaborative processes. Outward expressions of inner dialogues will be explored, as will reflections on working with others and forming long-standing connections.

Correspondences will be held from 5 – 26 July.
