NOTHING LESS
Exhibition by Andy Irving
31 January - 2 March 2003

Andy Irving describes Nothing Less as expressing an ' urban vernacular ' . Trained as an interior designer and having worked for several years on design and build projects for domestic, retail, office and exhibition spaces, Irving ' s design practice informs his work as an artist. The largely furniture-based objects in Nothing Less investigate new kinds of habitation, where inner-city dwellers adapt ex-office or commercial spaces and where suburban homes double as offices.

Artist Talk: Thursday 13 February, 6pm, City Gallery Cinema

Nothing Less is presented within the 360 programme*a full perspective on Wellington Art*which is generously sponsored by Designworks
