Déjà Vu

7 December 2024 – 8 June 2025
Neil Dawson, Light fitting - Los Angeles 1980, 1980, colour photograph. Collection Dunedin Public Art Gallery. Gifted 2021 by Jim Barr and Mary Barr
  • Ōtākou Otago

The newest exhibition in our Whānau Gallery, Déjà Vu presents delightfully unexpected pairings from the Dunedin Public Art Gallery’s collection highlighting the unique vision and voice that artists bring to their subject. Together they remind us that there is more than one way to approach an object, image, or idea.

Includes works by Marie Shannon, Neil Dawson, Alexis Hunter, Steve Carr, Michael Parekōwhai, Ethel Spowers, Jae Hoon Lee and Mary Macpherson.

On now: Sculpture on the Gulf 2024

Sculpture on the Gulf returns for its twentieth edition from 24 February–24 March 2024.

Echo 3.0

Neil Dawson recently unveiled a new iteration of his sculpture Echo above Christchurch Arts Centre.

The sky’s the limit

Neil Dawson talks to Lee Suckling about his return to public sculpture, and why he loves transforming civic spaces and skyscapes with his apparently weightless works.

Perpetual Tourist

Jae Hoon Lee's impressive new media works present a series of multiple instants where dreams and reality intersect.
