Facebook: Integrial Media (Events)
Co-curators
Elizabeth Kerekere and Treason Seditio in association with the Fringe Festival
2013 Wellington, and LAGANZ present an interdisciplinary exhibition - video,
new media, performance, photography, audio, writing.
From
a close encounter with a purple starfish to filming the Deputy Prime
Minister of Afghanistan and interviewing Aoteraoa/New Zealand’s beloved Mahinarangi Tocker,
to working with local Wellington and international artists, Meg Torwl has done
it all. Meg Torwl’s work has often been with communities pushed to the fringes
by mainstream society – First Nations, refugees, women, lesbian and gay, people
with disabilities, elders; and marine environments. In her work Meg Torwl seeks
to discover how our cultural backgrounds inform our approaches to age,
gender(cide), race, disability, relationships, art and spirit.
Aesthetically
her work traverses closely observed autobiography, photo-journalism,
documentary, layered patterning, and magical realism. Her artistic career both
in Aotearoa/New Zealand, and in Canada has been defined by learning from
mentors, cross-cultural engagement, collaboration, and an interdisciplinary
approach.
‘For me it’s always about what’s the
story or what’s the image or what’s the issue, and what’s the best way to
portray that? Is that video... is that radio, is that an installation? Is it a
photo, is it a poem? Is it live, is it recorded?’ – Meg Torwl
