Walter Prize winning US-based New Zealand artist Kate Newby's work involves the transformation of gallery spaces using architectural 'interventions' that take shape in consultation with the people commissioning the art work.
"This includes new window panes, carving into and building over floors, and extending the exhibition space to encompass outside areas and even a small city park within the gallery's sightline".
Her new exhibition Yes Tomorrow opens Saturday 20 February at Victoria University of Wellington's Adam Art Gallery Te Pātaka Toi and runs until 31 May.
