LoveLab Projects aims to create a temporary structure and platform that will present exhibitions around New Zealand and through phases, for discourse surrounding ways in which we might consider our contemporary conditions. From focusing on emerging practices and ideas that are still in the process of being formulated, to profile different ways of thinking and doing, questions will be posed in the form of programming and address relevant and pressing issues pertaining to the changing landscape of (con)temporary art.
LoveLab Projects will feature artist interventions, site-specific projects, one-night performances and events, as well as exhibitions. The programme will emphasize cross-disciplinary approaches, forms of artistic research, projects that are situated in the public realm, and collaborations on many levels. The initiative will cross traditional boundaries to form a consortium interested in responding quickly to the major philosophical and economic shifts impacting culture, and more specifically within a New Zealand context.
LoveLab Projects will also develop LoveLab Initiative to provide innovative artists, working in the media, visual, literary and performing arts, with exhibition and performance opportunities to create and present new work that do not fit into the commercial market place.
