Jane & Louise Wilson will talk about the installation Stasi City they have in the Gallery as part of The 2nd Auckland Triennial Public/Private Tumatanui/Tumataiti, as well as their current works.   This event will be in The Gus Fisher Gallery, Kenneth Myers Centre, 74 Shortland Street at 12 noon on Wednesday 31st March 2004.   Free admission.

The installation Stasi City consists of two double wall projections shot on location in a group of abandoned buildings that once housed the GDR intelligence service - the Saatsicherheit - in an area of East Berlin
unofficially called Stasi City.   Stasi City develops a recurring theme in their work, the quasi-identical, yet deeply different perception of a situation that, once juxtaposed, increases the sense of relativity,
alienation and mystery of the human experience.
