Union by Tiffany Singh
March 12 - May 1, 2010
MIC Toi Rerehiko Gallery 1, 321 K’rd, Newton Auckland

Tiffany Singh will transform the MIC Toi Rerehiko Gallery into a neutral space for exchange, dialogue and debate in her exhibition Union.

The notion of social responsibility is instrumental in Singh’s practice as she seeks to eliminate monetary value and privilege social value. By negating economic worth her work challenges our modern value system. What Colour is the Sacred? encourages the audience to participate in an exchange which ultimately sculpts, physically and conceptually, the form of the work. By trading a considered object, service, or piece of knowledge each viewer is invited to remove one of the artist’s sculptures from the Gallery and in this way contribute to the evolution of the piece.

In Union Singh brings to question the Social conscience and right of sacred practice, themes of embracing what is important to us as individuals, and what it means to be a community. Union looks at the way art can function both as an elitist status symbol and a poignant vehicle for social change.
