Sara Hughes is included in a new exhibition at the Dunedin Public Art Gallery on until 29 September. In Motion: The Moving Parts of Contemporary Art features work from their collection as well as newly commissioned pieces by Hughes, Tiffany Singh, Rebecca Baumann, David Haines and Joyce Hinterding.
