Te Papa Surrealist Art: He Toi Pohewa

The design successfully explores how space can be an agent to entice visitors closer to the artists and their practice. The exhibition is divided into six thematic sections that correspond to six major ideas of Surrealist practice and spatially identified through colour, lighting, texture, pace, and assembly. Entering the exhibition, the visitor immediately encounters an unfamiliar reality; the black surrounds, soft, thick carpet underfoot, Satie classical music, and art objects illuminated like a series of jewels. Proceeding further brings a journey through a series of spaces that are surprising, delightful, confounding and unsettling, an altogether surreal experience.
