Janet Lilo uses video, photography and installation to document the contemporary moment. Her exhibition Status Update revisits the concerns that have driven her practice to date. The title is a phrase cribbed from Facebook to refer to both Janet’s interest in re-focusing attention on mainstream realities that are often overlooked, as well the function of a survey exhibition as validation (and elevation) of an artist’s practice. Status Update, however, is not a traditional survey. Rather than simply showing older works, Janet will be re-making, re-conceptualising and re-mixing past projects to create new, large-scale installations across three gallery spaces in Te Uru.
