Casual Romance Club II

Enjoy Public Art Gallery, Wellington

30 May - 9 June 2010

Enjoy’s Ten Year Anniversary takes inspiration from ideas around guerilla diplomacy and presents an alternative approach to exhibition making and rethinking relationships between projects and artists within our gallery space. Enjoy’s anniversary will see a series of eight commissioned projects overlapping both in the gallery and off-site. Through this free-form spontaneous structure they will suggest new political, experiential and formal dialogues between each other and our audiences - as one project deinstalls, another shares the space while a new project is being installed - Siv B.Fjaerestad, Enjoy Curator & Manager

D.A.N.C.E. Art Club with invited guest artists/collaborators, Jonathan Cameron, Marie Fonoti, Arie Hellendoorn, Janet Lilo, Keila Martin, Jacqueline McGraw and Emma Nichols join Enjoy Public Art Gallery’s Ten Year Anniversary Programme including hosting the ten year anniversary party.

Casual Romance Club II explores broader ideas about love and romance. Romance is heavily mediated through digital communication. We’re using internet dating sites, Facebook, mobile texts to connect. We’re also influenced by the media’s idea of what “romance” should be through popular movies, reality TV and music videos.
