Join us to mark the opening weekend of 'et al. the fundamental practice' with a lively and informal conversation about one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s most significant contemporary artworks.

Exhibition curator Natasha Conland will be joined by Gregory Burke, who commissioned the work for the New Zealand Pavilion at the Venice Biennale in 2005. The conversation will be guided by Jonathan Bywater, Senior Lecturer in Creative Arts at Waipapa Taumata Rau University of Auckland.

Together, they will reflect on the impact of the exhibition when it was first presented in 2005, its place in Aotearoa New Zealand’s art history and the questions it continues to raise about art, belief systems and the role of the artist today.

Audience members will have the opportunity to contribute to the conversation and ask questions.

Book your ticket now and join us for this special opening weekend conversation.
