James Charlton: THROWN

Testing the limits interactive art, James Charlton presents THROWN, a major new installation at Te Uru this spring. A series of free-standing mechanical structures will populate Gallery 1, programmed and loaded with hundreds of yellow tennis balls ready to be released into the air and collected intermittently by a team of voluntary agents.

THROWN challenges visitors to think of their own position within the exhibition, as they stand in the designated strike zone and dodge flying tennis balls. This exhibition will throw your sense of what art is, and ask you, the audience, participant, performer, or object?
