Hit the Wall: Jae Hoon Lee's

Continuing Exhibitions...

Bogle Bogle by Seung Yul Oh until 30 May
Oh's mischievous, animal-like shapes and forms are adding colour and humour to TheNewDowse festival season. Oh's work combines elements of East Asian pop culture with ironic references to Western modern art.

Drawing Conclusions: Hotere, McCahon, Peebles, Walters until 30 May
Major works from TheNewDowse collection by Ralph Hotere, Colin McCahon, Don Peebles and Gordon Walters alongside preparatory works that provide a glimpse into each artist's working process.

Bill Viola: The Messenger until 4 July
The Messenger envelops its viewers in an entrancing underwater world of image and sound that has been described as 'eye-opening' and 'life-affirming'. This is the first time a major work by Bill Viola has been exhibited in New Zealand

Lisa Walker: Unwearable until 25 April
TheNewDowse celebrates the achievements of one of New Zealand's most internationally successful jewellers with a survey exhibition that traces the dramatic changes in Lisa Walker's practice since the early 1990s.
