DSLB will be performing alongside Phil Dadson and Tim Barlow at this event to celebrate the work of Jim Allen.
“Jim Allen (who taught Dadson at Elam art school in the 1960s) has been called the “father of experimental art” in New Zealand. He was a pioneer of post-object art and performance art in this country, and is regarded as the most influential art educator of his generation. Allen died in June this year aged 100. Futuna, one of NZ’s most iconic buildings, is the site of some of Jim Allen’s most important and enduring artworks, and this concert (and following panel talk) is a celebration of Allen’s contribution to art and culture in Aotearoa.” Source
