Len Lye’s Trilogy
Govett-Brewster Art Gallery
20 March – 11 April 2010
Visitors to the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery get a rare opportunity to see Len Lye’s ferociously beautiful kinetic sculpture Trilogy (A Flip and Two Twisters) (1977), when it returns to the Gallery for a short three week season from 20 March to 11 April 2010.
2010 marks the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery’s fortieth year of sustained and dynamic contribution to the cultural life of Aotearoa New Zealand.
To celebrate the milestone, a vigorous year-long programme of events has been organised commencing with a spectacular artist-led multimedia and performance event in New Plymouth on 27 March – echoing the spirit of the street party that officially opened the Gallery in 1970.
