SAM FOLEY & PETE WHEELER 2021 EXHIBITION
P O ST P O P D I VIS ION
SAM FOLE Y & PETE WHEELER EXHIBITION Over much of the last 2 decades these two artists have travelled extensively throughout Europe. Being based mostly in multicultural Berlin has allowed different cultures room to intersect and inform their practices. It enabled travel to witness first-hand the best historical and contemporary art Europe has to offer, through its countless museums, galleries, world leading biennales and International Art Fairs. All this set against the backing track of the big arty heart of Berlin, beating loudly with the street and music culture the special arts capital embraces. It was a unique time.
Hilltop yarns on Herculean Kassel and rooftop bars on top of Art Basel Early happy hour dining cart carriages to Prague and back Corner late stores on Danziger Strasse all Summer long Nick Cave concerts in parks most wild Lost entrance ways in Budapest with the back sweats Rhine river boat trips nach Zurich to Swiss mountain climbs
Blue room hidden Whiskeys and Bear pit karaoke ‘Your bike‘s not as fast as mine!’ ‘Look Pete, there goes your Dad and he’s sailing a superyacht!’ ‘That’s it, I’m calling the police…’
Venetian sunburnt wanderings with sleepless wonder
Studio Summerslam heavy on Monteiths and Kiwi pies
Club de Vissionaire turn aways, back to Uferhallen mezzanine studio stays
Oslo rooftop apartments and cobblestoned rickshaw rides
Solothurn prize winning paintings toasted above the river Aare
Documenta, Biennales, hoffenlicht das ist nicht finale...
At first glance there appears to be not a lot in common between Pete Wheeler’s and Sam Foley‘s painting but look a little closer, spend a little time in the same space with these 2 painters and the similarities will soon reveal themselves.
Post Pop Division is a celebration of two friend‘s shared art experiences that started out 20 years ago as studio neighbours in the Queens Building Dunedin, after which Wheeler established himself in Berlin. This move sparked over a decade of European exploration and earned him the title ‘My man in Berlin’ from Foley’s annual NZ Winter to EU Summertime relocations. It all comes full circle now, once again both being back and working in the long standing Dowling St Studios Dunedin and culminating in this Artbay Exclusive Event.
