The Len Lye Centre will be the catalyst for this conversation by providing:
EXHIBITION SPACES that create for New Zealanders and global visitors, a permanent physical home to experience work by an innovator who is internationally recognised for his pioneering achievements in diverse fields especially film and kinetic sculpture
ACCESS TO THE COLLECTION AND ARCHIVE of a New Zealander who persisted with risk, who continued despite setbacks, who believed in his ideas, and as a result, helped change cultural and social landscapes across the world
A dedicated RESEARCH LIBRARY for the public to discover the passion and relentless pursuit of ideas and technologies that Len Lye demonstrated in his artistic experimentations
Outstanding examples of current NEW ZEALAND INNOVATIONS IN ARCHITECTURE AND ENGINEERING, both through the building itself and through large Len Lye works engineered by the Len Lye Foundation to the artist’s wishes
TWO EDUCATION SPACES that offer an interdisciplinary environment for young minds to innovate, explore and experiment with creative possibilities
