Locale - 26 January, Toi Poneke Gallery
-
-
Another name for Locale could have been “3 Photographers chasing the New Zealand-ness that resides in the often seen but rarely regarded.” But I’m pretty sure Locale sums that up far better than my tricksy title ever could.
The subject-matter (If not the location) tends to be well-trampled territory, including shadowy trees in Ngaio’s ...

My Cuba Street (18 Artists) - 30 November, South Coast Gallery on Cuba
-
-
18 artists putting together an exhibition inspired by Cuba Street will always tantalise the curiosity of any true Wellingtonian (Even an emigrated one such as myself).Because there is so much scope for such a project, it was always going to be of great interest to see how varied the interpretations would be. And the variety turned out to be ...

The Blue Room - 19 October, The Film Archive
-
-
This will have to go down as one of those things I really, really, wanted to like... But in the end just didn't. After experiencing the sublime delights of Yayoi Kusama’s Mirrored Years exhibition, I couldn’t avoid feeling like I’d waded into the shallow end of the artistic pool with ‘The Blue Room’.
But perhaps that’s being too ...

City Gallery revamp & Yayoi Kusama Exhibit - 30 September, Wellington City Gallery
-
-
After a year of sawing, nail gunning and other construction-related activities, Wellington’s city gallery is back open for business.
And what a way to bring the arts back to the people. I’ve lived in Wellington (On & off) for twenty-odd years, and I’ve never seen the gallery rockin’ along like it is at the moment. The choice of a Yayoi ...

World Press Photo Exhibition – 11 September, Shed 11
-
-
I found out last Friday that the World Press Photo Exhibition still remains a definite crowd pleaser, as I tentatively negotiated my way through the masses to catch a glimpse of the two-hundred-work exhibition.We were given an inkling that the key themes of this year’s collection would be the global recession, sportsmanship and the environment by ...

Nanageddon: The End of Craft as We Know It – 29 August, ROAR! Gallery
-
-
Crafts are back.
But not how we once knew it.
It’s edgy. It’s radical. It’s keen to make a statement.
One element of this revival is graffiti knit. You only have to
take a jaunt down Vivian Street to see the bright knitted hearts that
now adorn a decrepit fenced car-park or recall the tree-warmers on Cuba
Street that were knitted ...

Sole-Phonic: A Tribute to the Classics – 20 August, Manky Chops Gallery
-
-
Wellington-based stencil artist Sole has returned to Manky Chops Gallery once again, this time under the guise Sole-Phonic, to showcase his new collection of works inspired by Motown and the old-school masters of funk and soul.It was just after seven when I passed through the Manky Chops doorway to catch the exhibition-opening and was immediately ...

Out of the Dust - 5 August, Chaffers Gallery
-
-
It can be a harsh world out there, no doubt about it. The shattering effects of humanity on his/her environment can be plain to see in the scar-filled landscapes of more than a few middle-eastern countries.
Afghanistan remains high on the list of such places (Although it’s really a crossroads between the east & west rather than being ...

The Whimsical Work of Drypnz II – 19 July, Manky Chops Gallery
-
-
England-born street-artist Drypnz has been based in the capital since 2006, having previously lived in Nelson after stints in Israel, the Marshall Islands and the Caribbean. His works have littered the Wellington streetscape from Rex Royale’s shop front to Left Bank to the former MVP bar’s downstairs toilet. So it was a real treat to ...

South Coast Gallery on Cuba - 29 June, 169 Cuba Street
-
-
It’s almost a blink-and-you’ll miss it affair. Hidden away in a little nook down Cuba Street, is the inner-city child of Island Bays finest art space - South Coast Gallery on Cuba.
The Island Bay version of the gallery was first established in 2006, a neat little place to view and pick up some local or international artworks - after a ...
