TAO WELLS (NEW ZEALAND)

New Zealand conceptual artist Tao Wells highlights the complexities of the gallery context identifying its neutralising tendencies and its potential to soften the potency of ‘political’ or ‘socially aware’ artworks within its traditionally safe and accepting confines.

Tao Wells was part of the exhibition Forced Fields with the Artist Collective Raised by Wolves at Conical (Melbourne), curated by Emily Cormack (November 3-24 2007). 

This information was current at the time of his residency.
