The Killing, Cirque du Killing – Feast

31 August – 6 October 2024

A buffet of dynamic works that digest the Visual & Social Frameworks of what we collectively understand to be a Circus.

Employed as a means to examine and ask ourselves questions such as: Where does my body belong within a Spectacle? Within a Circus? Within a Gallery? Who Am I when I am the subject? The viewer? Am I the feast or the consumer?

The artists partake in concepts of family, the everyday, consumer/capital-ism, and self determination—uncovered through a personal and shared lens of the Circus. Through languages of Mark-Making, Image, Sculpture & Painting, a synergy is found between saturated textures, colours and symbols.

Opening at Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki on Saturday 6 July, the triennial exhibition provides a platform for new art and ideas in Aotearoa New Zealand.
