Art and Influence: Imants Tillers and Ian McLean

Engine Room at Old Fire Station

What does it mean to be an artist? Where does meaning come from and how do images and ideas pass from person to person, culture to culture? For 50 years, Imants Tillers has been both acclaimed and challenged for his unconventional artwork, his writing on metaphysics, appropriation and the resonance of place. He talks with art historian Ian McLean about his work and his writing, about national cultures and cross-cultural practices.

How does the path towards a dedicated life come clear? For botanist Tim Entwisle and artist Imants Tillers timely encounters with people and with books seemed like chance, but also were inevitable. They talk with festival director Rosemary Sorensen about being open to possibilities and taking opportunities when they're offered.
