Hear our Creative New Zealand Te Manu Ka Tau international guest Billy Tang introduce his curatorial work through the lens of the Artspace Aotearoa 2025 annual question “is language large enough?” In his lecture Billy will explore whether the languages used by institutions—behavioral, procedural, and structural—are large enough to accommodate the marginal and the forging of enduring connections.
This kaupapa is presented in association with Creative New Zealand, the Office for Contemporary Art Aotearoa and the Physics Room.
The lecture will be followed by a Q&A.
Booking is encouraged but not essential.
