EXHIBITION ANNOUNCEMENT

We are excited to announce the next major international exhibition touring to the Gallery, ‘Olafur Eliasson: Your curious journey.’

Opening on Saturday 7 December 2024, this retrospective highlights over 30 years of artist Olafur Eliasson’s practice, featuring installations, sculptures, and photographs that explore themes of human perception, experimentation, and environmental awareness. It marks the first solo showcase of the Icelandic-Danish artist in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Eliasson describes the exhibition as a collection of diverse artworks that invite visitors to embark on their own journeys: ‘What fascinates me is how the different ways we observe natural phenomena can connect us, not just to each other, but also to the larger world around us. That’s something I try to work with in my art: experiences that welcome everyone and their varied perspectives.’

‘Olafur Eliasson: Your curious journey’ has been developed in collaboration with Studio Olafur Eliasson and leading art institutions across Asia.

The exhibition is supported by Auckland Art Gallery Foundation and presented in association with Te Ahurei Toi o Tāmaki Auckland Arts Festival 2025.

Tickets on sale in November.

Ready, set, glow ✨ Auckland’s city centre has lit up to celebrate Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori (Māori Language Week) and Mahuru Māori!

The city’s streets and squares have become a vibrant canvas for three symbolic te reo Māori kupu (words) to mark this important celebration, referencing the whakatauākī (saying):

“Ko te reo kia rere. Ko te reo kia tika. Ko te reo kia Māori.”

“Let the language flow. Let the language be correct. Let the language come from a te ao Māori worldview.”

Plus, an exciting calendar of events, activations and workshops designed to teach te reo Māori is on throughout the month!

📅 Spot these striking neon artworks shining bright between 2 Sep – 30 Oct
📍 Lorne Street, opposite Central City Library
