The little art show
that could
Curated by David Clayton
October 20 - November 10, 2003
Originally installed in Christchurch in 2000 by the Oblique Trust, The
Kiosk comes under the wing of The Physics Room in 2003. With 24 hour, 7 day a week access,
The Kiosk is the hardest working gallery around, providing a venue for contemporary art in
the public realm.
Composed of 18 artists, mainly local New Zealanders, but with miniature artworks coming
from as far away as Detroit and Amsterdam. The little art show that could
was
curated and constructed by visiting American artist David Clayton. "Originally the
notion for this exhibition came out of viewing a collection of Marcel Duchamp's
maquettes." Continuing, "The little art show that could
explores
the interesting dichotomy between micro and macro and the importance placed upon size and
scale in society, today."
Artists included in the exhibition: Sarah Munro, Vanessa Norman, Stuart Shepherd,
Erica van Zon, Leafa Wilson, Jan van der Ploeg, Richard Fruth, Miranda Parkes,
Barbara Tudor,
Olivia Moore, Jenny Murphy, Maree Glass, Julia Holderness, Fiona Goulding, Ceili
Murphy, Megan Ruth Hansen-Knarhoi
& Jacquelyn Greenbank. Also included, but not visible in the show was a miniature
radio station created by James A. Wallace. The miniature radio station was able
to broadcast a FM signal approximately in a two or three meter radius, around
The Kiosk
public art site.
