Susan Te Kahurangi King | Shannon Te Ao: from the one I call my own

27 June – 8 November, 2015

This provocative pairing opens up points of convergence between two bodies of work that supposedly occupy different ends of the contemporary art spectrum. Susan Te Kahurangi King is a 64 year old self-taught artist who stopped speaking around the age of five. She draws, endlessly and inventively—in graphite, coloured pencils, pastels or inks on paper. Shannon Te Ao (Ngati Tuwharetoa) is a contemporary artist whose videos and performances often isolate and refigure aspects of spoken language drawn from Maori cultural forms such as whakatauki and waiata.

Narbey’s film, A Film of Real Time: A Sound-Light Environment (1970) is shown with the Hungarian modernist Laszlo Moholy-Nagy’s film Light Play: Black White Grey (1930) which documents the effects of his kinetic light sculpture, the Light-Space Modulator.
