Who can think what can think

Who can think, what can think is a group exhibition that confronts understandings of human and non-human ‘intelligence’.

Exhibited works address various global contexts from an octopus rescued from a fish market in France to definitions of disability in Mexico, and from neurodiversity advocates in Scotland to the transnational weaponisation of AI.

The exhibition includes interpretation in audio, braille, easy read, NZSL and te reo Māori, and provides reading aids, accessibility and sensory maps, a quiet space, and relaxed events.

The Realists

The Realists asks what the art historical themes of Realism might look like in 2023, in a culture of radical transparency and photo apps with names like ‘BeReal’.

If Gustave Courbet and Edward Hopper were born in the millennium, what kind of daily realities might they have chosen to represent?

Four emerging artists counter the hyperperformative times we’re living in with honest and reflective perspectives in this exhibition.
