“End-to-End” is not in any way ‘about’ the role of institutional pedagogy. If anything, the exhibition is about the questions and experiences elicited by the works themselves acting within the institution, but more importantly, outside it and within the wider world. The exhibition’s title suggests multiple parallel readings; the close cultural connections between Australia and Aotearoa (NZ); the Antipodean myth both countries share as joint ‘ends-of-the-earth’; suggestions of the role of communication, two tin cups separated by a piece of string, a primitive telephone; end-to-end encryption, the idea of privacy today constantly under threat; notions of endings, the end of capitalism or the end of the world the result of climate change itself the result of decades of exulting profit over life. Artists within this exhibition address such epochal concepts obliquely and not, humorously or not, or barely at all”.
