Ko Te Ākau — Poetics of Land, Water and Sky is a new installation and performance work created by visionary and internationally renowned artist Charles Koroneho in collaboration with Filament Eleven 11.
Ākau is where the ocean meets the land, the horizon connects land, water and sky. A meeting place of difference, the in-between and situational, an encounter with duration and the ephemeral. An unlikely collaboration of the formation of new spaces, the performance of community, poetry and ancestral bodies.
Ko Te Ākau references the works of artists Ralph Hotere and Bill Culbert. Their creative exchanges and collaborative works serve as the inspiration for exploring the poetics of the Ākau, a site-specific installation designed for the Refinery ArtSpace and hosting a program of daily performances throughout the festival and into the week of Te Mana Kuratahi.
Join us for a series of special ceremonial performances to open Nelson Arts Festival from 5 - 7pm on Thursday 21 October, or for daily performance activations throughout the festival (weekdays 10am, 1pm & 4pm. Saturdays 10am & 1pm). The installation will also be live whenever the gallery is open.
Unlike anything else, this special Whakatū commission is an exhibition, a performance, a gathering, and a sharing, from one of our most extraordinary artists.
A special Nelson Arts Festival commission.
