The Physics Room
The Physics Room is New Zealand’s most dynamic and responsive art project space, and one of the key exhibition venues for national and international art projects. Based in Christchurch, The Physics Room exists as a catalyst for the development and promotion of ideas and debate through art.
A central Physics Room aim is that parallel, integrated activities are launched in the gallery, through publications and a website, and other local public art projects, giving the issues and ideas raised by the programme the widest possible dissemination and discussion. The Physics Room aims to actively seek links between the arts and other critical areas of cultural production; to involve art as a contributing voice in wider intellectual, social, and political debate.
The Physics Room is an arts institution of national importance, with strong international links to arts organisations and project spaces with a growing international profile. The Gallery’s main aim is to provide opportunities for artists to present their work in a supportive and critical environment. As well, The Physics Room places an emphasis on long-term advocacy for the arts; developing links between New Zealand artists and their international counterparts, working in partnership with international galleries and arts organisations, and creating educational opportunities for a wide audience.
