Yuk King Tan: Overflow

Of Chinese descent, Yuk King Tan was born in Australia and brought up in New Zealand. Since graduating from Elam School of Art, University of Auckland in 1993, Tan has been steadily making and exhibiting work. She is one of New Zealand’s most acclaimed young contemporary artists, with a long running track-record of national and international exhibitions. ‘Overflow’ is a solo artist project commissioned by City Gallery Wellington and on show from 27 November 2005 - 6 February 2006.

Published in January 2006, this publication features extensive photographic documentation of this exhibition, a catalogue essay by curator Sarah Farrar and an interview with the artist shortly before she came to New Zealand to complete the work in situ.

‘Yuk King Tan—Overflow’ is supported by Creative New Zealand and the Asia New Zealand Foundation. The exhibition catalogue has received additional support from Sue Crockford Gallery, Auckland and The Chartwell Trust.
