Gabriel OROZCO
b.1962 Mexico
Lives and works in Mexico City, Mexico; Paris, France and New York, United States
Gabriel Orozco uses photography, video, installation, drawing and sculpture to explore forms that fall between
philosophy, science, history and art. Extensive travel informs Orozco's work, and much of his wide-ranging practice blurs
the boundaries between the everyday flow of life and the formalised categories of art. Bridging the twentieth and twentyfirst
centuries, his work draws on the legacy of Modernism to engage with the present.
Arthur Koo-ekka PAMBEGAN Jr
b.1936 Australia, Wik-Mungkan people
Lives and works in Aurukun, Australia
Arthur Koo-ekka Pambegan Jr is an Elder of the Wik-Mungkan people and highly respected artist from Aurukun in the
Cape York Peninsula who, in recent years, has achieved recognition both for his work and his community. Since the
early 2000s, his sculpture and painting have enlivened and restored stories of great cultural significance to the Wik-
Mungkan people.
Fiona PARDINGTON
b.1961 New Zealand
Lives and works on Waiheke Island, New Zealand
Fiona Pardington has been photographing taonga (treasures in Māori) for over a decade. She searches for forgotten
museum objects that were once cherished — such as hei tiki (neck ornaments) or taxidermied extinct animals — and
deliberately re-presents them as portraits imbued with a sense of their past value.
Junebum PARK
b.1976 South Korea
Lives and works in Seoul, South Korea
Junebum Park’s video works marry ideas of theatre with contemporary concepts of space and illusion. Everyday scenes
such as parking a car or crossing the road are animated by Park's hands the artist is a giant manipulating the world. This
distortion of perspective and spatial depth recalls the illusory devices employed in Japanese Bunraku performance.
Campbell PATTERSON
b.1983 United Kingdom
Lives and works in Auckland, New Zealand
Campbell Patterson works predominantly in performance-based video art and much of his work has the rough,
immediate look of user-generated content from websites such as YouTube. Rather than being confessional, revelatory
or expressly exhibitionistic, Patterson’s videos capture abstract actions derived from moments in his life.
Paola PIVI
b.1971 Italy
Lives and works in Milan, Italy and Anchorage, United States
Paola Pivi has a strong international profile for her photographic, sculptural, installation and performance works, in which
she stages incongruous encounters. These unexpected juxtapositions create poetic, political and often humorous
associations, and many have incorporated animals. Pivi has created installations of live animals, most notably with her
work Interesting 2007, staged in an abandoned warehouse in Milan. A number of white animals — including horses,
rabbits, llamas, geese and peacocks, sourced through a company that specialises in animals for cinema and advertising
— had the run of the long, concrete space.
