Tao Wells Responds to New Work

Tao Wells' project with public art programme Letting Space, The Beneficiary’s Office caused a great deal of discussion and controversy in 2010. Now Wells has the right of reply to a new Letting Space project that was inspired by it - Mark Harvey's performance project Productive Bodies, which this week has seen performers in the streets of Wellington giving civil servants threatened by job losses and other members of the public a symbolic ‘helping hand’.

Wells will respond to Mark Harvey's project with his own performance at Enjoy Gallery in Cuba Street at 5pm on Friday.

Based now in Nelson, Tao Wells has exhibited in a range of contexts here and overseas, including Gambia Castle and Artspace. Mark Harvey is an Auckland based performance artist who works with choreographic actions and has shown around NZ and internationally.

Performance artist Mark Harvey's work Productive Bodies involves a group of unemployed, redundant civil servants and artists creating performances in the streets of Wellington between 1pm and 3pm this week with movements workshopped each morning at City Gallery Wellington within the sculpture exhibition The Obstinate Object.
