Te Whanganui-a-Tara based composer, musician and artist Noel Meek works across video, sculpture, and live performance, using musical improvisation and found texts as speculative tools for communicating with the more-than-human. This exhibition explores the concept of unworlding, the qualities inherent in the ends of worlds, through investigating two landscapes on opposite coasts of Te Waipounamu.

Each landscape represents a site of extraordinary transformation, through natural cycles of erosion and human intervention. Meek's works seek out a dialogue with these life cycles in order to both elucidate a space where one world gives way to another and probe questions about our relationship with the more-than-human in these cycles.

Noel Meek will perform live at the opening event.
