Fiona Jack: the artist going from Nothing to Everything

From Saturday Morning, 9:39 am on 26 February 2022

Twenty-five years since the creation of her work Nothing™, artist Fiona Jack is sharing a massive new LED light work entitled Everything on the Auckland waterfront.

In the late 1990s, when Jack was a graphic design student she took over 33 billboards in central Auckland with advertisements for Nothing™ as a comment on consumerism. The billboards were so convincing they prompted enquiries on where to buy Nothing™.

Jack recently took up the role of acting head of Elam School of Fine Arts and Design at the University of Auckland.

Everything is on display until 30 March at The Lightship, at Bledisloe Wharf. It is best viewed at night.
