THE HOLY RIDGE IS STEEP AND PERILOUS
–
The first solo exhibition by Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington artist Alex Mitcalfe Wilson, THE HOLY RIDGE IS STEEP AND PERILOUS presented large-scale collages of imagined forested landscapes.
Conceptually, each collage was an attempt to create a "perfect world"—a place of controlled beauty that excludes change and disorder. This cyclical process, where works were built up and torn down by Wilson, took place publicly in the gallery space throughout the exhibition's duration.
The final work was unveiled on 19 January, where bands Bandicoot, Basketball Nightmare and Mitcalfe Wilson himself performed live.
