Fiona Hall: Force Field

City Gallery Wellington presents Fiona Hall: Force Field, an in-depth survey of the work of one of Australia’s leading and most innovative artists.

Curated by City Gallery’s Paula Savage and Gregory O’Brien, with Vivienne Webb (Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney), it features sculpture, installation, photography and video works from the 1970s to the present. It also includes a major body of new work inspired by Hall’s travels in New Zealand.

Australian arts commentator John McDonald believes Hall’s imagination to be “so fertile that an artist could base an entire career on any of the phases she has explored and discarded”. Hall possesses “an offbeat sense of humour and a work ethic that would put the pyramid builders to shame”. Sydney Morning Herald, 19 April 2008

Adelaide-based Fiona Hall is not only renowned for her imagination but for her profound fascination with the wonders of nature. Her work questions humanity’s increasingly problematic relationship with the environment.
