Crystal City brings together the work of asian artists alongside New Zealand artists of asian descent. The works range from photography and video to installation and performance, showcasing recent developments in contemporary art.
A central theme of Crystal City is what it means to live in a built-up urban environment, yet remain connected to the natural world and the world of imagination. It reveals the city as a site for wandering and exploring, but also as a place of meaningful connections.
Many of the works discuss what it is to be a traveller. Strangers see the landscape with fresh eyes, but Crystal City shows that when we travel we bring our own experiences and viewpoint with us, reinterpreting the world we find ourselves in. Sensual and humorous, spiritual and philosophical, these works chart a geography of both familiar and unknown terrain.
The artists involved are: Kim Beom (Korea), Pak Shueng Chuen (HK), Jin Jiangbo (China), Hye Rim Lee (US), Kerry Ann Lee (NZ), Tiffany Singh (NZ) and Cheng-Ta Yu (Taiwan).
