Eve Armstrong / Fiona Banner

ROAM Eve Armstrong

Eve Armstrong has a passion for packing tape, she sees a beauty in rolls of brown plastic tape that others might not. Layers and different shades of transparency create an immense variety of colour nuances. The packing tape often becomes the base in her work, as a background to collages or as a way to incorporate sculptural objects with the surrounding environment.

In her first major solo exhibition Armstrong occupies the space with her installations and collages, revealing in her work an efficiency concerning environments and systems of exchange in the urban landscape.

Eve Armstrong lives and works in Auckland. She graduated from Elam School of Fine Arts, University of Auckland, in 2004 and has participated in several exhibitions mainly in New Zealand.

All the World's Fighter Planes Fiona Banner

Also showing, in the side gallery, is British artist Fiona Banner's projection piece 'All the World's Fighter Planes' where she exploits our concept of military power embodied in the fighter plane. In Banner's work we find another sense of efficiency, one of medium, combining different sources of images and cinematic music with the computer as a tool of presentation.

Fiona Banner has exhibited extensively worldwide, she was short-listed for the Turner Prize in 2003, had a solo exhibit at Neuer Aachener Kunstverein, Aachen in 2002, participated in the Berlin Biennale 2001 and was included in an exhibition at City Gallery Wellington in 1997.
