The Len Lye Centre will be the catalyst for this conversation by providing:
A regular SYMPOSIUM ON EMERGING IDEAS AND RESEARCH for national and international researchers and practitioners around the themes of innovation, energy, motion, creativity and sustainability
ACCESS TO LEN LYE’S ARCHIVE that contains hundreds of examples of drawings, writing, source materials and experimentations that Lye undertook and gathered when developing his ideas to fruition
PERMANENT EXHIBITIONS that honour the ideas of an internationally acclaimed New Zealander working across many disciplines including film, kinetic sculpture, photography and design
TWO LARGE PURPOSE-BUILT EDUCATION SPACES to facilitate interdisciplinary programmes encouraging children and youth to challenge and expand their perception of the world through encounter, activity and experience
A DEDICATED FACILITY FOR NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL SCHOLARLY RESEARCH that builds and extends on established connections with creative industries, cultural communities, engineering and academic fields of endeavour
