Join us for the opening of three new exhibitions!

Presenting previously unseen or rarely seen works, Ian Scott: Painting New Zealand brings together a selection of Ian Scott’s work from the last three decades of his life. It highlights Scott’s interest in the story of New Zealand painting and painters, and expands the perception of his practice beyond his most widely known and exhibited ‘lattices’ series.

In the cuckoo sings for me, for the mountain, Noel Meek asks if humans can find common ground with Coal and move from an exploitative relationship to a collaborative one. In a closely shot video work, Coal is presented as an intricate landscape, and ‘speaks’ through an imagined first-person monologue.

In Nocturne, Kara Burrowes and Charrette van Eekelen explore the concept of night as a psychologically charged space where memory, emotion, uncertainty and yearning provide productive grounds for artmaking.

All are welcome to join us to celebrate the opening of these new exhibitions.
