A ‘Singing Cloud’ made up of 4000 microphones, love letters staged as political protests, sailing, surfing, birds flying, performance, an eco-friendly home and over 20 works newly commissioned to fit the theme…and that’s just a taste of New Zealand’s leading international contemporary art exhibition the 4th Auckland Triennial, Last Ride in a Hot Air Balloon.

This year, after 3 years in the making, you will be the first in the world to see works that have been especially created for the Triennial, as well as a range of contemporary art from around the world. Presented by the Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki with Auckland Triennial Partner AUT University and in association with exhibition partners Artspace, St Paul St and The George Fraser Gallery.

Last Ride also brings with it a new offsite venue, Shed 6. Located on Wellesley Street, Shed 6 is within short walking distance of the city centre. This magnificent industrial space provides an exciting new location, adding a fresh dynamic to this year's Triennial. The Auckland Triennial provides a window into the world of contemporary art while creating a dialogue between local artists and their global counterparts.

There is a great mix of artists and art making up Last Ride and many of the artists will be visiting and showing for the first time in Auckland. It truly is a citywide event, and it only happens every 3 years so don’t miss it!
