2 open pages of a book with writing on it

The Director of the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery, Simon Rees, is pleased to invite you to the launch of our latest artist’s publication Tao Wells: EASIER.

Wednesday 28 March, 6.00pm 
Blue Oyster Art Project Space
16 Dowling Street
DUNEDIN
Free to attend, all welcome.

EASIER records Tao Wells' [mis]adventures in the art world from the late-1980s until today as he’s tilted at various art-system windmills with critical and black humorous effect. It includes new writing by author, critic, and filmmaker Chris Kraus (whose book I Love Dick [1997] has been made into a cult hit television series). And is designed by Carla Schollum of White Fungus renown.

EASIER publication is produced as an extension of the Govett-Brewster’s long-standing commitment to the extended family of artists who hail from Taranaki – of which Tao Wells is a member. Join us for drinks and nibbles in celebration of these ties.

Thanks to Govett-Brewster Art Gallery partner Villa Maria Estate for their hospitality support and to Blue Oyster Art Project Space for hosting the event.

Publications will be available at the event (cash only), at the Govett-Brewster Shop or at www.govettbrewster.com/shop for $12.00.
