Hello Lamb Returns From Geisai Museum 2


The Hello Lamb Project is an artist run initiative involving selected early career artists and curators to work together on a series of exchange exhibitions between New Zealand and Japan. In part 1 of the exchange the Hello Lamb artists were sponsored by NZJEP (New Zealand Japan Exchange Programme) to travel to Tokyo and exhibit at GEISAI Museum 2 (emerging art fair) on May 11 2008. Having recently returned from Tokyo, The Hello Lamb Project: Part 2 will see the opening of series of exhibitions in New Zealand presenting 'The Do It Yourself Shelf Museum Of Possibilities': Featuring the original Hello Lamb team in cohorts with newly enlisted artists from Japan selected by Michelle Armistead (Curatorial Advisor) and opening at Rm.103 Gallery in Auckland in September. A step sideways with Nick Spratt (Curatorial Advisor) may also see the development of a parallel studio based project at Rm.103 (more to come)

The Team:

Brydee Rood - Director / Artist
Ryuzo Nishida - Assistant Director / Artist
Tessa Laird - Artist
Keng Pin Hsu - Artist
Michelle Armistead - Curatorial Advisor / Writer
