A mobile exhibition of tiny proportions
- 18 Feb 2010
- Whitireia Community Polytechnic
- A mobile exhibition of tiny proportions is popping up around Wellington alongside the Fringe Festival. Alter+EGO is a visual arts exhibition that investigates artists egos as individuals and as performers – the relationship between our everyday identity and our ‘performance’ identity. While some artistic egos may be larger than life, the show’s curator Vaune Mason insisted that in this exhibition, all the works together, could be squeezed into the back of a truck.
