NEW ZEALAND ARTISTS ABROAD 10.08.2010 – 04.09.2010
Conor Clarke | Trenton Garratt | Mark Henley | Veronica Manchego | Cam O’Connell


Daire Sanat (Istanbul) hosts a group show of New Zealand Artists working abroad. Drawn from practice in Berlin, NYC and Istanbul I COULD HAVE SWORN I, is a multimedia show exploring the inconsistency between fact, and the memory of the fact. Prosthetic memory and Phantom Limb Syndrome couple to create the shows curatorial focus; how we perceive ‘experience’ within a media saturated reality.


The show is facilitated by Mark Henley (The Russian Frost Farmers, NZ) and made possible by generous support from Hall architectural interiors (Istanbul)


Full curatorial text and artist bio’s available here.


Opening     : 10th August, Tuesday / 19:00 / Daire Sanat
Artist talk  : 14th August, Saturday / 16:00 / Daire Sanat
