An "immersive" and "sensory" art installation has shot MTG Hawke's Bay in to the final for one of two national awards.
A combined entry for two exhibitions, Indra's Bow and A Glimpse of India, was named as a finalist in the sub-category of Best Installation or Temporary Structure in the Spatial Design category of the 2017 Designers Institute of New Zealand Best Design Awards yesterday.
MTG exhibitions and facilities co-ordinator James Price said staff worked in collaboration with artists Tiffany Singh and Jo Blogg to create an immersive and sensory art installation.
"Indra's Bow, along with the adjoining collection-based exhibition A Glimpse of India, evoke a sense of India through architectural detailing and bold use of colour."
"They are both excellent examples of how design can completely transform a space."
