Current: Contemporary Pacific Art

October Gallery - 24 Old Gloucester St London WC1N 3AL. 22 June - 30 July, 2011.

The region of Oceania offers a culturally diverse and exciting contemporary art movement, with many artists expressing concerns about future sustainability of the region due to economic and environmental issues.

The concept for Current is to explore the idea of contemporary artists from the region presenting contemporary artworks that draw on their ancient ancestral spirit but reflect a "renewed identity in the modern age".

Artists include: Andy Leleisi'uao, James Ormsby, Filipe Tohi, Reuben Paterson (courtesy of Gow Langsford Gallery), Virginia King & Nic Moon.
