Experience Wellington-based artist Jonathan Kay’s durational artwork as part of The Slipping Away off-site exhibition at Takutai Square. Combining photographic processes with environmental advocacy, Kay will create a series of site-specific photograms that capture the melting process of ice in order to raise awareness of the rapid decline of glaciers due to climate change. The resulting artworks will be displayed in the nearby atrium following the event.
