A few issues ago, we talked to a trio of Tylee Cottage residents (#66 p25) about the impact of their time in Whanganui. In this issue Lily Hacking talks to another artist about to embrace the benefits of the Tylee residency: photographer Conor Clark, who is usually resident in Berlin but is returning to New Zealand to take up her award. As we put this issue together, we noted the large number of public sculpture projects around the country. Projects in the north and the south, prizes won and announced. Has there been a flowering of interest in sculpture? Is there a groundswell that is beginning to peak? Or is it a tide that is not yet anywhere near full? Do let us know if you have any thoughts on this. Further to this topic, Beth Rose looks at the work of acclaimed sculptor Fred Graham (Ngāti Koroki Kahukura, Tainui) who received the top honour in this year’s Te Waka Toi Awards. He has been a highly influential figure in Māori art for more than five decades. She also looks at at the work of young photographer and visual artist Chevron TeWhetumatarau Hassett (Ngāti Porou, Ngāti Kahungunu, Rongomaiwahine) who was jointly awarded the Ngā Manu Pīrere Award, recognising emerging Māori artists, (see also AZ#69 which features Chev’s work). Michelle Duff asks Sophie Wallace what impelled her to start a gallery in the provinces and New York resident Sophie McKinnon tells us about an exhibition of a different sort, CONDO, which drew New Yorkers despite the steamy summer heat. I can’t say it’s been a breeze without Craig Beardsworth, our erstwhile assistant editor of 12 years‘ standing, and we miss his contribution, both editorially and personally. But change is to be welcomed. Haleigh Trower has leapt enthusiastically into the breach and I look forward to subsequently introducing you to some other new names. Alison Franks Managing editor

10 Perfect harmony Andy Leleisi’uao will be flying out to New York for a six-month residency at the International Studio and Curatorial Program, having won the Paramount Award in the 26th annual Wallace Art Awards (2017) for his acrylic on canvas, Harmonic People. Leleisi’uao says ‘Harmonic People is a universe that I’ve been exploring for a while. The ideas first started percolating in the early 2000s, but I take time off for other projects and then come back to it.’ The painted figures in the work have a spirit of cooperation, a relatively new theme for Leleisi’uao. ‘At times, my work has referenced social problems: migrant factory workers, corruption in churches and other issues with political undertones, but the style of Harmonic People focuses more on community, friendship and cooperative efforts.’ The trust included a new award this year, a three-month residency at the British School at Rome (BSR), Italy. Deborah Rundle’s looped audio installation, Chorus, won her the BSR Wallace New Zealand Residence. Harmonic People, Andy Leleisi’uao, 2017, acrylic on canvas, 1500 x 2400 mm

100% Pure? A new permanent installation The Fall of Water by Regan Gentry has been unveiled at Wharepuke Sculpture Park in Kerikeri. Gentry has been working on his large-scale project in the sub-tropical gardens since July this year, so visitors have been able to witness his progress. The piece is a macrame-style waterfall made from polyester ropes. It’s 10m tall, 2.5m wide and mounted between two 150-year-old Sequoia trees. The Fall of Water is for Gentry a comment on the state of New Zealand’s natural water sources. ‘Heaps of waterways and harbours are undergoing massive human activity, creating degradation and leading to them being toxic to humans and animals. So that we’re basically killing our waterways,’ he says. This is the first of five Wharepuke/Dalton Trust artists in residence. Each year a new artist will complete a sculpture for permanent display, contributing to an everevolving exhibition of works on the trail. Gentry’s new work is expected to raise the profile of the Wharepuke Sculpture Park. In addition to the annual residence, proposals are sought yearly from artists looking to contribute work. Submissions for the spring season should be with Wharepuke by 29 September 2017.

Matteo Rosselli, The Triumph of David 1610, oil on copper, Florence, Galleria Corsini

International draw The Corsini Collection: A Window on Renaissance Florence received 1746 visitors in its opening weekend at Auckland Art Gallery in September â&#x20AC;&#x201C; attendance equal to the opening weekend of their The Body Laid Bare: Masterpieces from Tate exhibition, which overall welcomed well over 45,000 people through its doors, despite running during the quieter winter period. The Corsini Collectionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s early numbers have the gallery hoping for total numbers comparable to The Body Laid Bare. The Corsini Collection runs until mid-January, overlapping with another international exhibition, The Obliteration Room by Yayoi Kusama, opening in December in the Creative Learning Centre. Kusama, a Japanese contemporary artist, is known for an obsession with obliterating the self in the many, as seen in her hallmark work Infinity Mirror Room (1965). Born in 1929 in Matsumoto City, Japan, she moved to New York in 1958, establishing herself as an artist alongside Andy Warhol, Claes Oldenburg and Eva Hesse. She currently lives and works in Tokyo.

Georgia Glass, one of the 115+ participants

Mini thee Eight months ago, Massey Master of Fine Arts student Georgia Glass began a project of painting more than 100 strangers in miniature, including Art Zone staffers Haleigh Trower and Craig Beardsworth. The ambitious project will be Glass’s MFA final exposure exhibition stranger, stranger, opening Friday 3 November at Massey’s Wellington campus. ‘I invited strangers to submit a portrait photograph of themselves, with the promise that I would paint their image in miniature and then gift the final work back to them,’ says Glass who is interested in the idea of modern-day portrait exchange. Her paintings are roughly the size of an iPhone and while the idea is to stay analogue, Glass acknowledges that the paintings will inevitably become digital again, which has a satisfying irony. The mini crowd will be exhibited for two weeks and on the last two days, subjects can collect their portraits.

It’s been open for just over a year, but Hawkes Bay gallery Parlour Projects has already hosted some of New Zealand’s big names. Owner and curator Sophie Wallace talks to Michelle Duff about regional success, the importance of relationships and how optimism helps.

Come into my parlour As a young lawyer, Sophie Wallace was practicing at one of Auckland’s bestknown firms. But the highlight of her day wasn’t poring over litigation, or meeting clients. It was lunchtime, when every day she would walk the short distance from Shortland Street to the Auckland Art Gallery and spend an hour immersed in art, wandering past the McCahons, pausing at the Hodgkins and Hotere. So when an opportunity came up to apply for an internship at New York’s prestigious Pace Gallery, Wallace jumped at the chance. She abandoned her law career for a year in the States.

Upon her return, there seemed to be a logical next step – to open her own art gallery, Parlour Projects, in Hastings. ‘It’s not something that I planned to do throughout school and university, but I quickly figured out that I wanted to do my own thing,’ Sophie laughs down the phone. She’s in her gallery today, and our conversation is occasionally interrupted when someone wanders in. ‘Working at the Pace Gallery made me realise that I really wanted to devote the rest of my life to the arts.’ In the 16 months since Parlour Projects has been open, it has made some major inroads. The first exhibition, in April last year, held in collaboration with Wellington’s Suite Gallery, featured Ans Westra and Wayne Youle. Since

then, the roll-call of artists would be the envy of larger and more established galleries; it has included sculptor Brett Graham, photographer Jono Rotman and Venice Biennale star Lisa Reihana. This is, I say, an impressive lineup of artists. ‘I’d met a lot of the artists who have had shows here before I opened the gallery, so we already had a friendship or trust and were familiar with one another,’ Sophie explains. ‘But there have been artists I’ve just met in the last six months. So much of it is based on conversations and trust, and the general sort of feeling you get from one another. ‘And I think because the space is isolated from other cities, artists see it as an opportunity to be a bit more experimental.’

When we talk, Sophie is preparing for the opening of an exhibition of new work by Palmerston North artist Shane Cotton, New Heads. It’s a continuation of his work with toi moko, or preserved Maori heads, and promises to be darkly spiritual and thought-provoking. She met Cotton by arranging a visit to his studio, and they hit it off. ‘I feel lucky that he trusts me enough to show in a relatively new gallery,’ Sophie says. BORN in Palmerston North, Sophie was raised in Hawkes Bay and went to high school at Woodford House. She studied humanities and law at Otago University, before heading to Auckland and her first job in law. After her three-month internship at Pace Gallery, she picked

up a full-time position in the marketing and communications team there. This allowed her to soak up skills that would prove invaluable for her business. ‘I was working on shows by major artists that I’d always sort of read about – people like David Hockney and James Turrell – and it was a lesson on how galleries are run but on the other end of the scale because they have hundreds of employees. I learned so much.’ Back in New Zealand, Sophie spent six months working for the Auckland Art Fair and quickly realised there was no way she was returning to law. ‘Working for the fair gave me a really good understanding of the New Zealand art scene and what was happening,’ she explains. ‘It opened

my eyes to regional galleries and what they were doing. It made me think about the Hawkes Bay a lot, and every time I came back here I noticed that there was a real gap here, and a need for a contemporary art gallery.’ She began looking for a space, and soon stumbled upon Parlour Projects‘ new home – a large, airy building, with high ceilings, a massive 11-by sixmetre feature wall, and a mezzanine floor perfect for viewing. Using her savings, and living with her parents to save money, the 27-year-old flung herself into her new work. ‘I started planning the first couple of shows, got the website up and running, started building a database, and then once I got the doors open I started to trying to figure out what

kind of gallery I wanted us to be,’ Sophie says. ‘I think it’s good that I was a bit naive, because if I’d thought about it anymore and what had to go into it I don’t think I would have done it. I would have felt too intimidated.’ As it is, Sophie is pretty much a onewoman band. A typical day might see her rise at 5am to write a press release, head into the gallery, meet an artist, update social media and the website, and liaise with visitors. She has one other staff member to help on the gallery floor. Parlour Projects has a prominent social media presence on Instagram and Facebook. Sophie says this is an important way to engage a younger audience, and give the gallery relevance outside of the region. She has also begun an art-collecting initiative, Cultivate, as a way to

immerse locals in contemporary art appreciation. The programme signs on ten people at a time. Each novice collector receives a new artwork every six months for two years. Each work comes with an academic essay and explanation, which Sophie hopes will empower people to feel confident establishing their own collections. She has also launched an artist-inresidency programme, of which young Elam graduate Grace Wright was the first recipient. ‘Art and art galleries are vital to the fabric of any city, however small, I think especially in this day and age. It’s easy to overlook arts and culture but I think it’s important to have a space people can come to learn about contemporary art.’ In the immediate future Sophie is focused on Cotton’s exhibition. She admits working on it is ‘kind of surreal,’

as Cotton was one of the first artists she studied at school. ‘I’m in complete awe of him and his practice. I always have been. I studied his early grid paintings and I remember it so clearly, so it’s amazing now to be showing his work, and it’s all new work.’ If you weren’t already interested in visiting, Sophie is happy to sing the praises of Hawkes Bay and its rising art scene in general. ‘People are continuously getting pushed out of the cities into these smaller places so they are getting more and more creative by the day. The Hawkes Bay is really exciting – there are galleries, wineries, beaches, climate, cool little digital agencies, and events. It’s just a really good time to be here.’ New Heads features small and largescale paintings, works on paper and a site-specific wall painting. It opens on 25 September.

In the world of design, seismic shifts have been occurring with up-and-coming designers working across multiple mediums and platforms. Lily Hacking chats to two new designers.

Sleeping on the job General Sleep is a new sleepwear label with a conscience. It’s the brainchild of Bailey Meredith and Greta van der Star, two friends who share a love of ethical fashion and lazy Sundays spent in their pyjamas. There’s more to General Sleep than a well-cut pair of pyjamas. Using collaborative work processes, and with a strong environmental and social conscience, the sleepwear label represents something of the integrity and authenticity of today’s young designers and makers. Swimming against an endless tide of cheap, fast, disposable brands, this new generation is committed to creating quality products that are well made in every sense. With an emphasis on the handmade and on natural fabrics and materials, there is a prevailing desire to reconnect people with the

manufacturing process — to consider how and where their own clothes and products are made. It’s taken a couple of years and a lot of hard work from design duo Meredith and van der Star for it all to bed in. They knew that if they were going to put something out into the world it needed to be made with minimal impact upon the environment. “It’s taken a lot longer than we initially thought. The biggest time consumer was finding a factory that met our requirements in terms of sustainability and accreditation that could also produce the fabric we envisaged,” says Meredith. Made in the south of India, in Tamil Nadu, the fabric is woven on handlooms, before being naturally dyed, hand-cut and sewn. The cotton is grown locally, while the linen is sourced elsewhere, as it is not grown in the area. “The company we work with started as a way to preserve hand-looming techniques unique to the area, as well as provide jobs in the community,” says van der Star.

Van der Star is a freelance photographer and stylist, and co-founder of The Periodic, a seasonally themed journal celebrating local people and products. Living in Auckland, she met her future business partner while Meredith was working as Business & Operations Manager for clothing designer Kate Sylvester. The two became friends and one night, over a glass of wine, the idea for General Sleep was born. “We work together on design ideas, and then each have our own strengths which takes care of the rest” says van der Star. “We bring completely different skills to the table and have a genuine respect for each others’ strengths, while also sharing a similar aesthetic. It’s the perfect partnership,” agrees Meredith. While Meredith has recently moved to Melbourne, the pair is in touch on a daily basis, and they’re in the midst of designing a new range of General Sleep products to launch later this year.

Artists old and new continue the legacy of Māori art excellence. Beth Rose explains.

Passing the baton Acclaimed sculptor Fred Graham (Ngāti Koroki Kahukura, Tainui) has received the top honour in this year’s Te Waka Toi Awards, recognising excellence in Māori art. Te Tohu mō Te Arikinui Dame Te Atairangikaahu (the Supreme Award) in recognition of leadership, excellence and outstanding contribution to Māori arts went to Graham, who has been one of the most influential figures in Māori art over more than five decades. He began the Māori contemporary art movement in the 1960s with friends and other Māori art luminaries including the late Dr Cliff Whiting and Ralph Hotere. Since then his work has kept a strong connection to Te Ao Māori (the Māori world) through themes inspired by Māori traditions and legends and Treaty of Waitangi issues, such as the loss of land. Eighty-eight years old, he lives in Waiuku, near Auckland, where he continues to make art addressing contemporary and historic issues,

something he attributes to helping maintain his good health. ‘It is an honour to receive this award, which is in the name of Dame Te Atairangikaahu, whom I knew and had a long professional and personal association with. I am also very grateful that I’ve had the opportunity to express ideas through my art over so many years,’ said Graham. Te Waka Toi Awards showcase legendary artists like Graham, but also those whose legacies are beginning to emerge. Ngā Manu Pīrere Award, recognising emerging Māori artists, was jointly awarded to photographer and visual artist Chevron Te-Whetumatarau Hassett (Ngāti Porou, Ngāti Kahungunu, Rongomaiwahine) and playwright Turene Huiarau Jones (Rongowhakaata, Ngāti Whakaue).

Hassett – who graduates this year with a Bachelor of Design, majoring in photography, from Massey University – has been working with Radio New Zealand’s The Wireless on photojournalism projects. ‘A recent project was the whakapapa of Australian-born Māori and how their culture is changing due to their environment.’ Hassett’s documentation of the whakapapa of Australian-born Māori was included in this year’s Māori language week. ‘I am also on a few community mural projects,’ he says, ‘working with local youth from my home neighbourhoods in Lower Hutt and it’s an awesome experience to work with kids who have a lot to say, who want a change and are open to growth.’ Hassett received a Creative New Zealand grant last year for emerg-

ing Māori artists, which gave him the opportunity to start his first personal research project outside of university. ‘I am working towards my first major gallery show. I’ve spent many hours working on it and I know it will take maybe one more year until I can show anything. It is about my tribe Ngāti Porou and our whakapapa, our relationship with the past, present, and future, and how we take the belief of existence on this land from our Tupuna Māui.’ Since 1986, the awards have recognised excellence and achievement in all artforms including marae arts (traditional, marae-based artforms such as carving, and weaving) as well as contemporary artforms such as theatre, literature, film, photography, sculpture and visual arts. This year had a total of 11 winners in seven categories.

Conor Clarke lives and works between Auckland and Berlin, and traces of her dual existence are evident in much of her photographic practice. She talks to Lily Hacking about her work. As Clarke moves between the distinct landscapes of New Zealand and Germany, she documents the impact of industrialisation and human intervention upon the natural environment, creating images that oscillate between an astonishing beauty and an acute sense of unease. Clarke grew up in Clarks Beach in south Auckland in the 1980s, and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Elam School of Fine Arts at the University of Auckland in 2005, before leaving New Zealand and eventually settling in Berlin. The unique history and distinctive landscape of this once divided, highly industrialised city is a strong influence in her work, and is a visible presence in many of her photographs. An emerging curiosity in Berlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s industrial history is evident in Clarkeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s early series Viewing Stations Around Rummelsberger Bucht (2010). Set against the backdrop of a former factory and industrial area, Clarke employs traditional techniques to construct an image, playing out the tension between the picturesque qualities of this scene and its subject. The viewer looks out through a clearing across a body of water. In the darkened foregrounds of these im-

ages people are engaged in leisurely pursuits. Behind them, across the water, a pair of tall towers and a collection of factory buildings stand prominently in brilliant sunlight. In 2014 Clarke travelled through Germany with a list of pre-planned locations in mind. In Pursuit of the Object, at a Proper Distance (2014) is a series of beautiful photographs of ethereal cloud-like forms billowing from industrial chimneys or smokestacks. In Clarke’s words they are ‘a series of isolated encounters between the by-product of industry and nature, between steam and cloud, land and sky.’ While the photographs conjure recollections of Constable’s cloud studies, unlike those depicted in the nineteenthcentury paintings, these clouds are man-made. This realisation undercuts the beauty of these images, relocating them in a realm Clarke likes to describe as ‘deliciously scary.’ These photographs are a record of

an unconventional road trip, tracing Clarke’s movements through the landscape as she pursues her chosen subject, albeit at a proper distance. Other works emerge from engagement with Clarke’s immediate surroundings. As she walks or cycles through the familiar streets of her neighbourhood of Kreuzberg, she documents everyday sites and subjects. ‘I am indebted to the work of Bernd and Hiller Becher, the German photographer-duo who dedicated their practice to creating typologies of functional architecture,’ says Clarke. ‘I always used to think I had to travel in order to find that which is worthy of photographic documentation. But what happens when you exoticise the objects and places that you encounter on a daily basis? That’s what excites me at the moment.’ Clarke was recently awarded Best Series at the Renaissance Photography Awards in London for

Scenic Potential, Conor Clarke, 2015

Scenic Potential (2015), in which she transformed muddy Berlin building sites into monumental landscapes. One could be forgiven for thinking that these images depict some remote part of New Zealand. It’s as if we are looking at two places at once; one landscape transposed onto another. Here, in these miraculous mountain ranges made from small mounds of dirt and rubble, Aotearoa and Deutschland are present simultaneously in the imagination. While on an Auckland Council artist residency at Waitawa Regional Park, Clarke worked exclusively with analogue photography and set up a small darkroom in a disused bunk-room in the small bach that was her temporary home. She learned about the particular history of the area and documented the marks it had left on the landscape in a series of black and white images permeated with a sense of desolation and disquiet. At Waitawa she saw evidence of early Māori occupation in the traces of terraces and defensive ditches of Pawhetau Pa, one of Auckland’s most significant pa sites. She saw the damage left behind from a hole blown, many

years ago, through the pa to provide access between the wharf and a nearby explosives factory. And looking out across the water, from the north-facing slopes of the park, she saw Kāramuramu Island, home to one of the longest-running quarries in the Auckland region and known for its rare, reddish-brown mudstone. Clark found herself particularly interested in the gorse plant that covered the surrounding hills in full yellow bloom, releasing a scent she describes as ‘a kind of rich, sort of sweet coconut.’ She read about the history of gardening in New Zealand, and the nineteenth-century introduction of the now notoriously noxious weed. In one image taken during this time, we see a hand holding up a cutting of the prickly plant; its thorny leaves and delicate blooms transformed here into a beautiful bouquet. When they carried those first gorse seedlings to New Zealand, no doubt those early colonial settlers had hoped that by bringing with them something from home, they might make this new and unfamiliar land a little more familiar. But this addition to the environment had unforeseen consequences. The gorse plant took a

liking to its new home, and now covers five percent of the country‘s arable land. Ground Water Mirror is a continuing current series looking at our relationship with the natural environment, and water in particular. Made up of photographs taken in Germany and New Zealand, Clarke says ‘the project is a response to urban living, about the western notion of human domination over water and the way this has changed our relationship to it since the industrial revolution.’ Amidst photographs of waterfalls and whirlpools, there are traces of the human body — a hand holds an icecream cone topped with blue icecream, a bare and bloodied thigh is revealed beneath the folds of a striped beach towel. In a text she wrote about the series, Clarke makes reference to environmental historian William Cronon, who writes: ‘As we gaze into the mirror it holds up for us, we too easily imagine that what we behold is Nature when in fact we see the reflection of our own unex-

amined longings and desires.’ (William Cronon (ed.), Uncommon Ground: Rethinking the Human Place in Nature, New York: W. W. Norton & Co., 1995). Living in Berlin, far from the sea, has no doubt contributed to Clarke’s fascination with water as both subject and as potential site of refuge. ‘My studio is around seven kilometres from home and my favourite route leads me twice across the river Spree and once around the Rummelsburg bay (a main reason why I chose the studio location). Berlin’s high water table means there is no shortage of canals, rivers and lakes, which is so important when living in a landlocked city.’ This month Clarke returns home to take up the Tylee residency. She’ll spend five months in Whanganui as artist-in-residence, supported by Whanganui District Council and the Sarjeant Gallery Te Whare o Rehua Whanganui. Here she plans new work that is likely to become part of the Ground Water Mirror series, this time looking at the Whanganui River.

40 Drawing the line A floor plan of a 1940s high-density block of flats, drawn and cut into salvaged carpet and hung on a cable so that the rigid lines become fluid, has won the 2017 Parkin Drawing Prize for Kirsty Lillico. Her work State Block has challenged perceptions of what constitutes a drawing and raised a good amount of discussion for the awards and her work. ‘It’s not a traditional drawing,’ admits Lillico, who is both delighted and surprised to have got the top honour. ‘The drawing is the positive part of the plan. I scooped the negative spaces of the building onto the cable so the carpet slumps and swings. Gravity creates the form.’ Back in 2013 that Lillico began considering the legacy of modernism, architecture and how apartment-living organises people into spaces. She says, ’Human beings are chaotic and messy and don’t conform to this.’ Her studio in Lyall Bay, Wellington was near a carpet warehouse and their skip provided all the materials she needed to start work on Machine for Living, her first piece in a series that would lead to this year’s accolade.

‘As far as we can tell, nobody has yet used this type of thing as a sculpture.’ Scott Kelly and Ben Polkinghorne have created a series of installations that act as recommendations for tourists, similar to online algorithms. Each sign, located around New Zealand’s tourist attractions state ‘People who liked this also liked…’ with images of other recommended locations. Lonely Planet, 31 August 2017

‘In spite of the efforts of the institutions to say we are not, I think the public are fairly disenchanted with what I would call official art. Pretty much everything is fairly middle of the road and hardly interesting...’

‘As far as displaying Nick’s genitals to the world, perhaps the (Ecan) CEO Bill Bayfield has never entered a gallery or visited the Vatican City and cast his gaze on the multitudinous penises in bronze and marble that swarm around the square, much to the delight of children, the pope and one or two extraordinary cardinals.’

Andrew Drummond reflects on his struggle with bureaucracy during his career and the growing chasm between institutions and public opinion.

Sculptor Sam Mahon replies to criticism that his sculpture of Environment Minister Nick Smith with his pants down is crass. (see also #68 p40 for a previous discussion)

Let there be light

For ten days, ten Auckland precincts will host various artworks in public and private spaces, pop-ups, streets and everything in between, for Artweek. Popular outdoor exhibit GLOW returns to Devonport, with teams of students from Unitec School of Architecture putting up their light installations in Windsor Reserve, and the the Speaker Series creates discourse on contemporary art in New Zealand. The festival runs from 7–15 October.

Forming a journey

The dates are out for the 2018 Whangarei Sculpture Symposium, the theme of which is ‘Journey’ – taking in first encounters, exploring and navigating. The topic was selected partly to mark the Sestercentennial (250th anniversary) of the voyage of the Endeavour and Cook’s exploration of New Zealand’s coast. Artists’ interpretations of the theme will be displayed on Hihiaua Peninsula during March next year.

Labour of love

Get to Helensville for a three-day art festival over Labour weekend. Painters, fibre artists, hat-makers and sculptors will be talking about their art and selling work from their studio spaces and pop-up exhibitions. There will also be opportunities to try your hand at various interactive displays. Arts in the Ville is happening throughout Helensville township from 21 to 23 October.

Flox, Dick Frizzell, Jeff Thompson, Peata Larkin and Jessica Pearless are among the 40 artists taking part in the return of the Haier Big Hoot. Each will be given a 1.65m owl sculpture to turn into a work of art to be exhibited on the streets of Auckland and auctioned in March 2018 to raise money for the Child Cancer Foundation. The Hoot is mooted to be New Zealand’s biggest charity art exhibition.

Tauranga Art Gallery Toi Tauranga is celebrating its tenth anniversary. A family fun day to mark the TAG’s major milestone will be held on Saturday 14 October. Visitors are invited to create an artwork at one of the creation stations, attend storytelling sessions and experience a diverse group exhibition, The Future Machine, with works by Douglas Stichbury, Richard Malloy and Chris Carson-Scott.

Two free workshops are being run by the Taranaki Arts Trail Committee to encourage artists to participate in the 2018 Trail. Taking place in Hawera and New Plymouth, the workshops will offer mentors to newcomers, and give advice to new and existing trail members on studio presentation, being a host and marketing. There’s also a chance to throw questions or suggestions at the committee.

Bridget Donahue hosts Project Native Informant: Harumi Yamaguchi

Pooling in Summer CONDO NY condocomplex.org/newyork/ June 29 - July 28, 2017 By Sophie McKinnon For one of New York’s soupiest summer months, CONDO came to town, along with 20 non-New York galleries and a handful of artists. A project founded by the London dealer Vanessa Carlos, led in New York by Simone Subal and Nicole Russo, the CONDO mission is a noble one—to challenge existing models while ‘pooling resources and acting communally.’ In concrete terms, this means New York galleries approached by the CONDO team make room for exhibitions curated by participating galleries from around the world for

a month. Essentially, a commercial gallery residency program. Following the map online (it resembled a kind of nuclear-fallout-zone diagram), through 16 New York galleries clustered in Chelsea, Tribeca, and the Lower East Side, emphasised the presence of galleries spaces in neighborhoods, and their distance from one another. This system, lacking the clinical regularity of art fairs, made for more considered and rewarding seeking and looking. In fact, the initiative glows with so much good-will I wonder what use anyone gets out of it. The 16 New York galleries do not profit from sales by galleries they host, but add some hands-free global cachet to their summer rota, and those being hosted cover the costs of shipping and installation. In the end, it appears they break even. It is also a refreshingly new formula. Some galleries made efforts to integrate guest exhibitors into their

summer shows—for instance, Bridget Donahue hosting Project Native Informant’s airbrush artist Harumi Yamaguchi alongside the pastel washed works of Satoshi Kojima—while others simply provided space on a less obvious upstairs or downstairs level. Thematically, the works were at ease in Bridget Donahue, but Yamaguchi’s work seemed to be located in the gallery office antechamber, where staff sat around a table going about their business, and a dog snoozed on a blanket under one of Yamaguchi’s dewy pink pinups. Host galleries were obliging enough to physically host, but the commitment felt loose, and seemed to stop at the stairs or upstairs room where most of the visiting works were shown. As collaborations on paper, this still served a number of mutual ends, but in reality was more like a cousin had showed up from

Foreign assessment

out of town to hang out but was left to their own devices. The comparison of CONDO to an alternative art fair is somewhat misguided, as it is missing the obvious benefits of access, hyper-concentration of galleries, and temporarily carpeted VIP areas. It does however, give galleries some presence beyond fair season. And while art fairs capitalise on seasonal buying and the tides of the art market, CONDO unassumingly targets the slower mid-year months. The program had a slight air of musical chairs: Callicoon Fine Arts for example, hosting Mother’s Tankstation Limited in the 2017 New York iteration, having itself been hosted by Rodeo during CONDO London 2016. As befits July, gallery hours were odd, staff were sparse, and info on the CONDO collaboration was on a kind of needto-know basis. Still, it felt like an art world “buddy system”, where New

York galleries become participants in an unlikely collective of like-minded global dealers great and small, drawing visitors who might not ordinarily make an effort to chart gallery territory in the summer. Queer Thoughts, a tiny gallery in an aging Tribeca office building, explained that the majority of their July traffic had been through CONDO (despite their not including the visiting artist Deborah Schamoni in their A4 gallery guide). Chatting to another participant gallery, we discovered a surprising degree of openness about the work on view, and a willingness to embrace the ad hoc nature of the collaboration without commercial responsibility. Whatever its merits, the model appears to be working, with CONDO slated to expand to Mexico City and Shanghai 2018. Many participating galleries build on relationships generated through the fair scene, with CONDO also

working the economies of scale to suggest pairings where appropriate. This requires precise knowledge of geographically specific art scenes, and understanding of counterparts and cousins elsewhere. Leo Xu’s understated yet challenging curation in the upstairs of Chelsea’s Metro Pictures felt like a perfect union, and made as much of a statement about the symbiotic relationship between the two galleries as it did about any of the work on view. This dynamic lent the whole experience a distinctively meta feel, with artists featured by galleries imbedded in other galleries who spoke to their artists. But with lower stakes, the visitor entry points were refreshingly without strings attached, and CONDO should be commended for stripping the art world down to its summer skin.

Read on to find out about the success of some students and graduates.

52 Cloud-based business By Beth Rose High in the mist of the Andean mountains, Otago Polytechnic alumna and former photography lecturer Emily Hlavac Green has been focusing her lens on the traditional crafts of Peruvian women. Working with Photographers Without Borders, she’s documenting Awamaki, a non-profit co-operative programme that empowers Andean women to start and run their own businesses creating artisan products using alpaca wool. As a woman working in a creative industry herself, Hlavac Green quickly identified with Awamaki’s philosophy. In the vast, unforgiving landscape of the Sacred Valley, red, pink and orange textiles blazed in a sparse landscape. ‘In Kelkanka I documented a quality workshop with the cooperative where I saw the women spin alpaca wool into yarn, build looms

on the bare earth and set up pieces of intricate weaving,’ Hlavac Green recalls. ‘I saw something created from what felt like nothing. I saw the effort and the craftsmanship which is so often forgotten when it comes to buying a final product.’ Awamaki invests in women’s skills, connects them to global markets and supports their leadership so they can increase their income and lead their communities out of poverty. Formed in 2009, Awamaki set out to help a cooperative of 10 women weavers from Patacancha, a rural Quechua community in the Andes. Since then it has created programs in health, education and sustainable tourism, but its primary focus remains on fair trade artisan co-operatives. Hlavac Green set out to photograph the whole creative process – from shearing the alpacas, to spinning the wool and weaving the threads into the final textiles – and spent three days documenting a natural dye workshop on a sustainable culture experience in Parobamba, where the Andean mountains meet the Amazon. ‘I got

to experience and capture what it felt like to live remotely. Self-sufficiency is crucial to life up in this region and the Master Dyer, Daniel Soncco, taught us the ways in which he and his family live from the land, creating dyes and medical remedies from plants and minerals, and growing or cultivating everything needed for survival. ‘It was a very moving experience. On one hand I saw beauty in a life of simplicity, but I saw this through my eyes as someone with the ability to travel. Travel is a luxury that affords contrast and that experience of the ‘other,‘ and even when done sustainably always has an impact on a culture.’ Since returning home to New York, Hlavac Green says she is acutely aware of the importance of investing in and supporting sustainable businesses, and is especially interested in looking at natural dyeing processes locally, and especially the connections between food and fashion. ‘It is a really fascinating intersection between science and art that a few people in New York are exploring.’

Creative expansion

The Miramar Creative Centre has opened as a new Victoria University of Wellington campus. Master of Design Technology students have already moved in and, by November, students from the film and music streams of the university’s Master of Fine Arts (Creative Practice) will join them. Victoria has always had a close connection with Weta Digital and Weta Workshop, and the centre marks a new partnership with Miramar Creative Ltd whose directors Jamie Selkirk and Kristy Grant have supported the hightech teaching centre.

Lusk’s legacy

Award-winning Waitati ceramicist and Dunedin School of Art (DSA) graduate, Kate Fitzharris, has won the 2017 Doris Lusk Ceramics Residency – a two-week teaching residency at Risingholme Community College in Christchurch. The biannual residency is named for painter and ceramicist, Doris Lusk, who grew up in Dunedin, studied at the DSA and taught pottery at Risingholme Community College. “Teachers often say they learn from their students, and I am looking forward to enquiry and open dialogue,” says Fitzharris.

Currency exchange

Matt Arbuckle is the winner of this year’s Wallace Arts Trust Vermont Award with Mining for Bitcoins. The prize is a threemonth residency at the Vermont Studio Centre in the USA. Arbuckle described his work as referring to the practice of earning cryptocurrency by verifying transactions and adding them to the public ledger. Designed to secure the network, the process requires immense computing power. “I read an article on Bitcoin mining while making this painting and became fascinated,” he said. Arbuckle graduated from Unitec in Auckland in 2009 with a Bachelor of Visual Communication.

Scaling new heights Oils, thickly spread and whipped into peaks, raise these New Zealand landscapes from their canvases. Holly Zandbergen uses impasto to depict the Southern Alps physically and energetically in her exhibition I Sit in the Blue of the Hills. She drew inspiration from New Zealand photographer and environmentalist Craig Potton for the 10 major works, which are on display

at the Rebecca Hossack Art Gallery in London during September. The exhibition was opened by New Zealand High Commissioner Sir Jerry Mateparae. For a 25-year-old contemporary artist who graduated from Dunedin School of Art in 2013, this represents lightning progress. Originally from Timaru, Zandbergen is accumulating national accolades and gaining international exposure for her paintings of New Zealand. She was shortlisted for the New Zealand Art Show Emerging Artist Award in 2013, and went

on to exhibit at the National Open Art Competition at London’s Royal College of Art in 2015, where she was selected for the Prudential Best Young Artist Award. In 2016, one of her works was selected for the Columbia Threadneedle Exhibition, and toured to Florence’s Palazzo Strozzi. Despite her achievements, Zandbergen hadn’t always imagined herself as an artist. ‘It was while I was painting in London that I felt I could do it. You’ve got to have faith – and work really hard.’

Sealed with a Kiss Gill Gatfield, LLB and MFA graduate from the University of Auckland, has won the Landscape category at the international CODA awards for her sculpture The Kiss, a work that took two years to complete, and involved a team working across three time zones and in three languages

– Hindi, Danish and English. To create the sculpture, Gatfield searched internationally for a single block of pure black granite, eventually quarrying an outsized block in India where the stone was cut and polished, then shipped to Denmark for display at the Sculpture by the Sea exhibition, where it was visited by over 500,000 people. ‘This was a challenging and complex

project,’ says Gatfield. ‘We constructed The Kiss on a beach in Aarhus, Denmark in 2015, during the centenary of women’s right to vote in that country. It is a symbol of equality in both form and concept.’ From Denmark to New Zealand; The Kiss has been seen in Christchurch as part of the last SCAPE Public Art exhibition. It has since been acquired by a private collector.

Forging a career

Sculptural artist Simon Allison graduated with a Diploma in Fine Arts from Ilam School of Art nearly 40 years ago. Since then, he’s forged a career on the other side of the world. Moving to England in 1984, he set up Red Bronze Studio fine arts casting foundry in London. In 1993 Allison moved to Oxfordshire and started Lockbund Sculpture fine art bronze casting, which expanded into large studios and gallery exhibition space, now known as Lockbund Gallery. Allison works with a variety of materials including stone, wood, bronze, and glass, often in combination. He returned to New Zealand in September for his exhibition Shift at Orexart in Auckland,– a body of new works exhibiting varied use of cast lead and wood.

Dark Horizons

Hymn to the Sun

Muslim-Australian artists, Abdul Abdullah, Abdul-Rahman Abdullah and Khaled Sabsabi, showcase three interconnected solo exhibitions in Pataka’s Dark Horizons – Fear of an Imagined Threat. The exhibitions explore the artists’ take on the themes of migration and multiculturalism. How fear manifests itself into the thoughts and actions of society is a recurrent theme throughout the exhibitions, which include a room of glass chandeliers, a three-channel video installation and a series of paintings and embroidered fabric works.

Wellington painter Melanie Mills brings her second show of flower-based work, Hymn to the Sun, to FHE Galleries. Her first show, at the same gallery, saw the pieces immediately selling out before the exhibition had opened. Kathlene Fogarty, curator at FHE Galleries, says the last time that had happened was in the 1960s. Mills is a painter who works off the grid, with no cell-phone. It often took months for Fogarty to gain contact with her, which she said made Mills’s work that much more alluring for this second show.
