ArteFact – How to Behave in an Art Gallery

Aotearoa New Zealand New Zealand Dance Company

”It can be quite challenging looking at an artwork in a gallery. The first thing I like to do is make sure it is indeed an artwork.”

That’s the statement that inspired Arts Laureate Ross McCormack to create this playful site-specific dance/ theatre work.

The Dunedin Public Art Gallery offers rabbit holes of possibility for a synthesis of performers, gallery hosts and art experts who will invite audiences to disrupt the tension often on display in gallery spaces. You never know who might be leading you on this mischievous journey, where they may take you or what they may teach you about visual art.

McCormack masterfully fuses his signature movement style with elements of physical theatre and comedy to reveal some irresistible secrets of the human experience.
