Taranaki artist WharehokaSmith (Taranaki, Te Ātiawa, Ngāruahine) created this wall painting, which echoes the building’s unique architectural space.

Forming part of the Make Visible: Taranaki project, this collaborative work is a window-based intervention in the Len Lye Centre that makes visible different spectrums via the lenses of identity and gender. The Unfurling comprises two distinct yet spiritually connected window works by Novak and Clothier.

A landmark survey exhibition of Toi Māori from the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery Collection.

Tūranganui-a-Kiwa based artist George Watson (Ngāti Mutunga, Moriori, Ngāti Porou) creates a new commission for the Gallery’s street-front Open Window, responding to Te Hau Whakatonu: A Series of Neverending Beginnings – a showcase of Toi Māori from the Govett-Brewster’s permanent collection. 

Exhibited in 1969 and consigned to the artist’s archives ever since, the kinetic sculpture Storm makes its 21^st Century debut through a new reconstruction from the Len Lye Foundation.

Plays at 10:30am, 11:30am, and 2:30pm daily.

Shelling out explores the often-overlooked stop motion animations of Len Lye - Experimental animation (1933) and Birth of the Robot (1936) - to showcase the immense versatility in Lye’s early practice. 

Kineticism: Len Lye and Howard Wise Gallery draws upon Lye's work in and around one of New York's most celebrated gallerists, to survey the artist's practice as a kinetic sculptor during the 1960s.
