After the success of his 'Runaway' show last year, Christchurch
artist Rudolf Boelee presents a new exhibition in association with
Crown Lynn New Zealand - a collective of artists and designers using
the former trademark of the now defunct ceramics company.
The new exhibition is titled 'her dissatisfaction_' and follows
on from a 2000 billboard produced by the Crown Lynn artists for
a temporary site on the High Street side of the Physics Room building.
The billboard, titled 'The
Ambiguous Image', used a still from a 1960's new wave film -
a visual style which has been an influence throughout much of Rudolf
Boelee's artistic career.
Boelee has revisited this billboard work in his new exhibition,
presenting it anew within the gallery. The scale and dimensions
of the billboard are similar to that of a movie screen and Boelee
has continued his cinematic theme throughout the exhibition, which
also includes painting and a video projection.
Dutch artist Rudolf Boelee has made Christchurch his home for the
past 20 years, and this exhibition explores his observations of
the "rather strange phenomena of New Zealanders' ability to
undervalue their environment and the quality of life here."
The opening preview on Tuesday 25th promises to be a snappy affair,
with legendary Christchurch jazz musician Stu Buchanan providing
a live soundtrack to set the tone. Visitors are encouraged to "dress
sharp"!
