These print-based ephemera speak to Billy Apple's complex relationship with the "art institution" on the whole - galleries, museums and publications. Indeed, an acute self-awareness of his own presence within the art world has always been a point of overt exploration and celebration within the artist's work. This selection of prints commemorates two iconic moments from the artist's history: the REVEALED/CONCEALED site-specific exhibition which was held at Auckland Art Gallery, and his 1979 ALTERATIONS exhibition which explored the relationship between art and exhibition space at a number of sites including the Govett-Brewster Gallery.
