Trust Us - TUCAT Telethon
2017
Where:
Enjoy Public Art Gallery, Wellington, NZ.
With:
Li-Ming Hu
Description:
A Summer Residency with Riff Raff (collaboration with Li-Ming Hu) where we co-opted the gallery space as our production house. Our aim was to develop a new contemporary art collection of donated work from artists and the general public throughout the nation, called the 'Trust us Contemporary Art Trust' (TUCAT).\n\nThe apex of our project was a live-streamed 12-hour telethon-style event at Enjoy on Friday 17th November, 12 noon – midnight. Incorporating a diverse range of variety acts, the TUCAT Telethon was held for the purpose of collecting donated artworks for the TUCAT collection. \n\nThank you to everyone who took part in the TUCAT Telethon or viewed the live stream. You can view an edited version of the full event in the six video installments below.
