WE LIVE IN TURBULENT TIMES

The 3rd Auckland Triennial addresses the condition of turbulence - the complex and unpredictable cultural and political environment in which we live. The artists in this exhibition engage with the emotional flux of their daily reality, responding to the ambient hopes and fears in our midst. They create aesthetic interventions - active, vital and alternative ways of looking at the world around us.

The artists in turbulence present their real and imagined expressions of sustenance and exile, ancestry and colonisation, trade and co-existence. Some artists are motivated by a sense of protest, some forge an aesthetics of survival, while others try to out-manoeuvre turbulence by representing alternative routes and pathways.
