Exhibition features 'old school' Gen X artists

From Music 101, 1:40 pm on 27 July 2024

Generation X: 50 Artworks from the Chartwell Collection includes works drawn from one of Aotearoa New Zealand's most significant contemporary art collections.

The Chartwell Collection, itself a member of Gen X. Started in 1974, the Chartwell celebrates its 50th anniversary this year.

The artworks, made during the 90s and early 2000s, span painting, sculpture, installation, sound and video. The collection is seen not as an art historical document, but an attitude, a way of looking at the cultural contribution of an unruly group of artists who are now 'old school.'

Painter Liz Maw is among the exhibitors and joins Charlotte.
