After first occupying vacant spaces in a post-stock-market-crash Auckland in the mid-1990s, public art curators ‘Letting Space’ re-emerged in the wake of the 2008 global financial crisis. Confronted by the thin net of social welfare, the waste of the capitalist system and the climate emergency, it brokered spaces for artists to think and act radically, outside gallery walls.
A big and bright new book out of Massey University Press, ‘Urgent Moments’ chronicles these projects the artists that drove them.
To hear about the projects, Frances caught up with editors Mark Amery and Sophie Jerram.
