'De-Building effortlessly rises above the specifics of its curatorial brief to take the gallery visitor 'behind the scenes,' instead addressing far more engaging speculation about the frailties of human behaviour and the tenuous values we assign to art. De-Building brings together an impressive line up of 14 artists from New Zealand, Germany, Great Britain, France, the United States and Spain across four generations of arts practice for all the right reasons. It confidently shifts from an art historical treatise on conceptual art to a survey show of international practice to a showcase of recent acquisitions by the Christchurch Art Gallery.' - Warren Feeney.
