Fiona Hall: Force Field
12 Jul 2008  - 19 Oct 2008

City Gallery Wellington presents Fiona Hall: Force Field, from July 5, an in-depth survey of the work of one of Australia’s leading and most innovative artists. Curated by Paula Savage, Gregory O’Brien and Vivienne Webb, Fiona Hall: Force Field is a partnership with Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney. It features photography, sculpture, installation and video works from the 1970s to the present, all characterised by the inventiveness and curiosity that typify Hall’s work.

Born in Sydney and based in Adelaide, Hall began her career in photography and later extended into sculpture, installation, garden design and video. Her work uses ordinary materials and objects which are transformed into complex and allusive art works, often through highly labour-intensive processes. Her practice draws upon sources as disparate as literature, politics, finance, science, media, sexuality and gardening.
