Even if you don’t include the earthquakes a lot has been happening, and our timetable has inevitably divided into pre and post-earthquake timelines. Along with most of the art world in Wellington we have been very fortunate and have come through relatively unscathed. We do though extend our sympathy to those not so fortunate and understand when some artists, journalists and photographers hover anxiously outside our four storey, 1950’s building. A happy event pre-earthquake was the Hocken Gallery’s celebration of the 50 years of the Frances Hodgkins fellowship. The exhibition runs through the summer, and is spread across both the Dunedin Public Art Gallery and the Hocken Gallery. For the opening event the Hocken celebrated by gathering a great number of the fellowship holders together. It was great success and as is usual, conversations ranged widely. Earthquakes tend to send the mind in many and varied directions and in the randomly overheard category, two titbits delighted our AZ spy; “of course my dear, the beauty of whippets is that they are self exercising”; and from one of the earlier fellows “well my motel is the same and has clearly not been redecorated since I was here in the 1960s.” The fellowship offers a studio and a stipend. In AZ #66, the issue before this one, Andrew Drummond described the benefits of his Tylee Cottage residency in Whanganui as “an electrical bolt which generated energy for the next five years”. In Art Zone this month we offer a wide range of thoughtful information. Our new, or, more properly, returned writer Lily Hacking looks at concurrent exhibitions of work by Ruth Buchanan; at the Adam Art Gallery and the Govett-Brewster. Sophie McKinnon observes, takes part and questions an exhibition in New York while Alex Scott provides us with our first ever Art Zone cartoon. See p 21 . And are watercolours returning to centre stage? Amber Wilson discusses her fine and detailed watercolours with Catharina van Bohemen. I’d like to thank Marti Friedlander’s long time friend and art dealer Kathlene Fogarty for writing– at very short notice – her informed and affectionate obituary. Have a Merry Christmas. We look forward to talking to you again in 2017. Alison Franks Editor

10 Full of beans Artist Erica van Zon collaborated with local perfume designer George Bowler to create Coffee Perhaps, as part of her exhibition for Solo 2016: Six Wellington Artists at The Dowse Art Museum. Just 50ml of this special scent was made by Fulvio, a perfumer based in Sicily, which will be sprayed onto a green silk scarf every couple of days over the course of the exhibition, until the bottle is empty. van Zon’s exhibition offers a tribute to early Wellington gallerist Helen Hitchings (1920 – 2002), who opened the first modern art dealer gallery in New Zealand in 1949. With notes of ground coffee, cigarette smoke, white musk, cotton and cedar wood, the perfume is designed to be evocative of Hitchings’ gallery. “I really want to create a welcoming space and reference a time gone past. Scent is a wonderful subtle way to do this,” says van Zon.

Seven artists are heading north as part of the Asia New Zealand Foundation’s 2017 artist-in-residence programme. The three-month placements are designed to expose Kiwis to the ideas and art forms of some of Asia’s most vibrant cities. Charlotte Parallel is the first ever recipient of the Singapore Instinc Gallery residency. She will undertake a series of onsite experiments, culminating in an exhibition. Her practice is concerned with the unseen forces of a space – sound, electricity, etc – and includes performance, sonic and sculptural elements. “I’m really interested in the idea of attuning to a place or listening to a place to identify an energetic continuum,” she explains. Parallel is particularly excited by the prospect of collaboration within an artist-run structure. “That ethos is a big part of being there,” she says. Meanwhile, at Youkobo Art Space in Tokyo, Richard Maloy will produce a series of video works with a focus on process and memory. While he’s reluctant to pinpoint exactly what the works will entail, he’s looking forward to the luxury of three months in the studio and seeing the work take shape. “I’m excited about engaging my art practice with a contemporary art practice that I’ve only known from afar,” he says. “I follow quite a lot of Japanese art, but it will be nice to see it in the culture that it’s made. “I’m also interested in the cultural exchange opportunities that might arise from it. And having other input into my studio practice.”

Last month Auckland designer Anns Taylor won Best Album Cover in the inaugural Artisan Awards ceremony at the Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards. Taylor won the award with her artwork for Absolute Truth, the latest album from her partner James Milne, aka Lawrence Arabia, released earlier this year by Flying Nun Records. Her design inspiration came from “late-night discussions with James about his obsession with old topographic maps.” The couple have collaborated on various projects over the years and Taylor says they “have quite a volatile working relationship – it always flares up into arguments where we vow never to work with each other again. But we always do.” You can see more of Anns’ work at www.annstaylor.nz/

Talia Betham, a Massey University fashion-design student, won the 2016 Supreme Award at the ECC New Zealand Student Craft/ Design Awards, with her capsule collection Broke. The garments were based on 1980s uniform designs, and made from recycled New Zealand-made wool blankets, their quality tags integrated into the overall design alongside heavy chainlike metal components. Betham says she wanted the collection to speak to the state of New Zealand industry and current unemployment among young people. ”I used wool as I feel as one of our biggest industries we don’t use it enough and this could contribute to a growth in jobs for New Zealanders.”

Two site-specific public artworks are part of Auckland’s new $36-million waterfront theatre. One of the artworks is an installation by preeminent New York light artist Leo Villareal. The other is a 6.4m pou (post) by New Zealand artist Robert Jahnke. Based on the stories of Maui, Pouwhakamaharatanga mo Maui tikitiki a Taranga is made of corten steel and laminated totara. The work is a centrepiece for powhiri and other ceremonies outside the theatre. The theatre is the new home of the Auckland Theatre Company.

The hunt for missing murals by late New Zealand artist E Mervyn Taylor (AZ # 61) has had some exciting breakthroughs. Images of a 1964 work at the Cable Price Downer building in Wellington were recently unearthed, confirming that the mural was in fact installed. The fate of the tiled wall, however, remains unknown. Renewed interest in the public works has been fuelled by The E Mervyn Taylor Search & Recovery Project. Its director, artist Bronwyn Holloway-Smith, restored Taylor’s rediscovered 1961 mural Te Ika-a-Maui in 2014. A $5,000 reward for information leading to the discovery of a 1961 mural from Wairoa Centennial Library is as yet unclaimed.

Wellington artist Shannon Te Ao says life is good since his 2016 Walters Prize win on 30 September. “Things have been fantastic since. Everyone’s been warm and supportive including friends and fellow nominees.” He confirms he’s accepted a top-secret commission, which will keep him busy for the bulk of next year. So what about that $50,000 prize? “I bought myself a beautiful 1960s Japanese Yamaha acoustic guitar,” he says. And of course, “a large chunk will go straight back into art projects”.

New Zealand’s highest international achievers and most promising up-andcomers were celebrated at the 16th annual Arts Foundation Awards in Auckland on 23 November, with the visual arts well represented. A total of $480,000 in prizes was awarded. Among five Laureate Award recipients were 2008 Walters Prize winner Peter Robinson, and cartoonist Dylan Horrocks (covered in AZ6). Each earned $50,000 in recognition of their established success. Painter Andre Hemer took home $25,000 and Jo and John Gow received the Award for Patronage, receiving $20,000 to distribute among the arts as they wish. Recipients of their donations this time included Pacific arts organisation Tautai and Sculpture on the Gulf.

Foreign assessment Take Me (I’m Yours) On view at the Jewish Museum, New York 16 September 2016 — 5 February 2017

If something is free, how much value did it ever hold? Sophie McKinnon observes, takes part in and reports on a New York exhibition that raises this and more questions.

Collect, hoard and keep Amidst a tall bale of faded denim there is a pair of elasticated trousers worth prying free. They are buried in a work by Christian Boltanski, and the security guard looks on, waiting for the moment of collapse. The second-hand search is a familiar gesture, but the artists’ giveaway is more complicated than is implied. If something is free, did it ever hold much value? And if you are instructed to take it, did you even want it in the first place? Take Me (I’m Yours) first took place in 1995, curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist at London’s Serpentine Gallery, and comes on the back of a neartrend for exhibition resurrections over the past couple of years. These

range from Tate Modern’s recreation of a 1915 Malevich installation, to Mauricio Cattelan’s trotting out of a 1994 show with a live donkey in the Frieze art fair earlier this year. More than mere curatorial throwbacks, they also reassert institutional roles in identifying historic moments and sustaining their legacy. Take Me (I’m Yours), in crossing two decades and a continent, brings elements of spirited nineties restlessness, but also gathers Americana momentum – exercising activism, freedom, and a slightly smug what’s-mine-is-yours culture. The 1995 original featured commissions by twelve different artists, and invited audience members to take the work away, or at the very least, touch and handle it. Re-staged now at the Jewish Museum on New York’s

Upper East Side with forty two artists, visitors are asked to do the same. At a visceral level, Take Me (I’m Yours) plays into a desire to collect, hoard, and keep. Director of Special Exhibitions Jens Hoffman focuses on the transformation of the galleries through sharing, “subverting the usual”. Tear-and-take plastic shopping bags line the entry wall, which opens into a baroque room, its hardwood floors scattered in a sea of shining red, white, and blue candies. Visitors shuffle around, deciding how best to disguise grabbing treats from the floor as anything but. To the right people hover around Yoko Ono’s gumball machines, which dispense tiny containers of Parisian air for a quarter. Daniel Spoerri’s sugar skeleton invites visitors to eat sugar phalluses, despite them being non-kosher. Further along Koo Jeong A’s multi colored

Foreign assessment magnets form a play table at adult height. These go straight into pockets. Maybe it’s important that Koo Jeong A works with magnets as a consistent practice, to remind us of the invisible forces which have bearing on our lives. Or perhaps it’s significant that her work is in the permanent collection of the museum now encouraging visitor ownership, and somehow this row of rainbow discs states “I know that, and I am part of it” each time they are glanced at on the fridge at home. Not feeling connected to the artist or the institution through ephemera implies that something else entirely is going on. Very few of the items in Take Me (I’m Yours) could be considered covetable – there are no paintings or drawings, no individually crafted sculptural treasures, and no artist signatures. Most have no trace of the artist’s hand at all, and are underwhelmingly functional. At the least appealing end of the spectrum are Alex Israel’s mass produced self-portrait pins. Featuring Israel’s face in profile, it is the gift of self-aggrandizement that keeps on giving. Uri Aran’s plaster cast coffee cup lids feel like a robust and beautifully ordinary takeaway, but up close they are chipped and chalky. Rikrit’s bank of crisp white t-shirts seem generous, but they are branded

with the phrase “freedom cannot be simulated” in an overly earnest font. Hopefully though, we find some reason to care about these exchanges in the moment they are happening. If we don’t, then the whole exercise becomes a supermarket sweep of cheap trinkets for the cost of an entry ticket. What emerges in the absence of the no-touching rule, and a baseline of ubiquitous items, is that the responsibility of value falls on the visitor. Giving is idealistically loaded, but if there is no taking, the gesture falls flat. Somehow even Alison Knowles’ commodity-free work, which asks visitors to step up to a microphone and describe the shoes they or another visitor are wearing, is liberating. You can choose to participate or not. The museum can claim this is relational aesthetics perfectly performed, but on simpler terms it’s a controlled free-forall. Economies of scale are rampant, as visitors create an internal market of coveted objects and exchanges. People intuitively loiter around what draws them, sometimes inspecting items like pieces of fruit, digging and rummaging. If Take Me (I’m Yours) is a grand romantic call to arms, then the gentle dismantling of gallery power politics

piece by piece is the fitting response. The interactions reduce the boundaries of sacred and profane, valued and worthless, wanted and rejected to a set of individually negotiated decisions. Felix Gonzalez Torres’ carpet of candy is a portrait – Untitled (USA today) – and is stipulated to be in “endless supply”. Depletion and loss through the AIDS crisis underpinned much of Gonzalez’ work, but this work gives in a continuous cycle sustained by taking. It feels more a celebration of agency than of immovable meaning. The extent to which these are high-art objects demanding high respect is irrelevant. These are ordinary items brought down from the walls and onto the floors. They are stacked in crates or left in the corner. Instead of one there are a thousand and this multiplicity gives them power. In light of the 2016 U.S. election and those taking to the streets to protest what is perceived as ideological thievery and gross misrepresentation, this exhibition and its mission as a “democratic space for all” may take on a different kind of resonance in the coming months. Boltanski’s paper bag reads “dispersion, 1991-2016”, and with it the reminder that each thing gathered is disseminated elsewhere, and that is the start of the process – whether you take it or leave it.

Deep in thought Artist Fatu Feu’u ONZM has a knack for timing. With further delays and fresh political controversy threatening the Kermadec Ocean Sanctuary Bill, Feu’u presents Sekia: Salute to the Kermadecs at the Diversion Gallery in Picton, until 19 November. The show coincides with his 70th birthday. The Auckland Samoan artist sets forth his colourful case for the urgent protection of New Zealand’s northernmost territory with the largest work ever shown in the gallery. In an effort to express the magnitude of the issue, he has executed a 2.9m-wide painting,

Ola (above), which features the words “I must save you Kermadecs” – the literal writing on the wall. Along with smaller works, Ola features mask and sea-life motifs, the latter alluding to the pristine waters of the region. Political controversy over the proposed sanctuary inspired the latest series from the artist, who made his name in the 1980s and has since exhibited regularly here and overseas. “I have to play my part as an artist to look into things like sustainability, not just Polynesian but about how we live in New Zealand,” he says. The Kermadecs became an artistic focus in 2011, when a group of Kiwi

artists were invited to the islands by the Kermadec Initiative of the Pew Environment Group, in the hope of inspiring work that would throw a spotlight on, and foster protection of, the region. The resulting works by Phil Dadson, Bruce Foster, Fiona Hall, Gregory O’Brien, Jason O’Hara, John Pule, John Reynolds, Elizabeth Thomson and Robin White took the shape of a travelling exhibition, Kermadec: Lines in the Sand, which visited galleries up and down the country. It was most recently revived at Oamaru’s Forrester Gallery in February, following the announcement of plans for the sanctuary, whose future now looks uncertain.

Marti Friedlander: 19 February 1928 – 14 November 2016

Driving Beach Road Standing on the footpath, I felt the whish of warm air and heard the window slide down. I put my head through the passenger window and said “Hello Marti.” – “Kathlene,” said Marti with mixed bewilderment and horror, “what are you doing out of the gallery?” “I do walk a little from time to time,” I replied – I was going to collect my car. “Hop in” Marti instructed, “I’ll take you there.” Clambering in, it occurred to me that over the nearly 30 years I had known Marti I’d never driven with her.

Beach Road – Customs Street East We shot across the four lanes heading east. Marti took my hand and looked deep into my eyes. “Don’t worry – I’m a very good driver. Do tell me how you are.” When you were with Marti there was always a moment of being completely there – the focus, the enquiry – and of honest truth. You don’t get to take the photographs she has by evading a situation, so there is very little chance of the chosen evading themselves. These photographs of artists, writers, Maoridom, the bloke down the road, reveal a psychology – they have a mystery that demands repeat viewing. “It’s so lovely to see you,” she said,

taking a moment to give me that big warm smile. There you are, centre of the world, and it was obvious that even driving was given no concession. We sailed through the red on the intersection of Anzac and Customs in mutual contemplation. Customs Street East – Fanshawe Street Marti was extremely good company − honest, forthright (sometimes to a fault) and a wonderful conversationalist. We began discussing the proposed reprint of “The Moko Suite” which Marti and Gerrard – with their renowned generosity – had earlier gifted in its entirety. Conservation issues meant

22 Obit

that if a second set were available there would be more extensive viewing. Michael King and Marti had travelled the country recording kuia known to have the traditional moko. These kuia – many of whom had never allowed their photographs to be taken – stood on their land and looked Marti straight in the eye. Their immense grandeur, spirit and knowledge rose palpably from their ancestral land to their eyes. An old Maori man explained to me that while some wore their moko on the outside, others wore it on the inside. I wanted a third large-scale set made so they could travel internationally. I said dealing with Te Papa was like knocking your head against a brick wall. How often had she encountered the brick wall? “Ever since I can remember,” replied Marti, “but I have tried to do it with graciousness – and I have been enormously lucky.”

Really? From poverty, being raised in an orthodox Jewish orphanage in London, hospitalised many times; marriage – and moving from a cultured London to this bewildering, isolated country. Losing her child in still-birth – creating a life with depth and meaning – teaching – lecturing – publications – videos. Always Projects. And all accomplished with determined grit. I watched in the rear vision mirror, as the bright orange cones leapt back into life as we ran an unerringly straight line over them. Victoria Street West – Up Franklin Is indicating over-rated these days? Probably. We galloped up Franklin – the mid-day sun casting beautiful black

shadows from the trees. We discussed the forthcoming unveiling of Ralph Hotere’s gravestone up in Mitimiti. “I would love to photograph him one more time,” said Marti. To a small group it was known that Marti’s time was short – I thought it unlikely she could manage the journey. Ralph would understand. Marti had photographed Ralph over 28 years. Ralph had rarely spoken publicly about his work, but the photographs – taken in and about his studios, by his work, on his land – speak more eloquently than words ever could. Marti was no shrinking violet. I observed her photographing Ralph in the Auckland City Art Gallery. Instructions were directed often and fast– left / right / forward … Marti was tough. I later asked Ralph – how did he put up with that? Ralph sat in the chair, quiet for a few moments. “Because she gets it.” A

master-class in four words. Should I go left? said Marti – turning to the right. Ponsonby Road – Great North Road We sped down the central island of busy Ponsonby Road – there was much honking of horns and people giving vent. “There must be a carnival up here today as well – there was one when I was passing through Parnell last week,” said Marti. A few years ago Marti was reading Conversations with God: an unusual dialogue. She asked me what the two fundamental things in life were. I thought tea and people – but apparently it was “Love and Fear”. Marti was delighted, because she said it was “so true”. At the intersection of Great North Road a Hazard Vehicle, lights flashing,

foretold the length of a Large Truck with the two-storied Victorian House perched atop it. We took it on at considerable speed. “I didn’t know there was a house still there – I must come back and photograph it.” King Street We turned down King Street. I kissed the ground outside Barry Clark Motors, thanking Marti for the catch-up. “Hell of a driver,” said the chaps. Driving to the funeral – a group of us telling our favourite Marti stories, watching the Marti Catalogue shimmer past us – Vistas / Road workers / Suburban fields next to 1960’s houses. Talking so much I missed the turn-off. I threw a U-turn across three lanes – the back seat gave a cry of horror. Don’t worry I said – I’m a good driver.

There you are Marti, one of the things I so loved about you – always the last word. Marti was a great force of nature. I will miss her beyond words – 25 years of being bossed around, I’m not sure what I am going to do. Maybe heaven is a place In the hearts of those Who respected and honestly Liked you a lot, An earthly place With brightness behind you, Surreal skies above Lighting the best way home.

25 Dancing shapes

Photograhy by Neeve Woodward

The watercolouristâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presence has not always been strongly felt in our art scene. Catharina van Bohemen talks to Amber Wilson, one of the new young practitioners creating waves. Amber Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s studio is a room with a window, approached by a dark flight of stairs in a building off K Rd: an oasis of tranquillity in a gritty part of Auckland. The wall above the fireplace is hung with completed water colours, and leaning on the mantelpiece smaller works await their frames. A sofa rests beneath an open window, and a piece of open-weave 70s curtain material sways on a nearby hook. Paints, brushes, pencils and paper, and small works in progress are arranged on a long table in the centre of the room. The walls of the studio are serenely white. Tacked to one are large pieces of paper, on which pairs of abstract shapes have been painted at speed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; actually in the minutes before our meeting. I mention these details because time, space and size matter to Amber. She loves the urgency of a fast mark made with a wide brush: the experience of moving quickly, not thinking, making a line and responding to it.

Dancing shapes

Amber Wilson in her Auckland studio.

“Interlocking shapes interest me.” Her finished works are often pairs of these interlocking shapes, within which she paints jewelled, almost pointillist surfaces, using brushes fine as eyelashes dipped into delicate dots of paint. A tension between the expansive and the meticulous underpins her practice. She has always been interested in the applied arts, and it seems no accident that she was enrolled to study jewellery before switching to painting: “The interesting discussions about art were in the painting department.” And yet…The speedily painted shapes on the wall also trigger contemplation – Amber spends long periods on the sofa “staring” before developing further work from them. Since she graduated, she has been devising her own mode of abstraction, one that plaits the traditions of the applied arts with aspects of modernism and postmodernism, including references to the Memphis Group which produced colourful and irreverent furniture, fabric,

and ceramics in the 80s. Sashaying Meissen (2011) connects exuberant Memphis design with the refinement of Meissen porcelain. The dancing shapes may be connected by a glittering Memphis-like handle, not especially designed with ergonomics in mind. In the past three years, her work seems to be much concerned with shard-like surfaces and also with the concept of the four elements. Her recent exhibition at the Anna Miles Gallery was entitled Looming from the Margins. That present participle alerts you to the ancient tradition of weaving, but also suggests something becoming visible through mist, arriving aslant. Shapes breathe and bend, ripple as if released from the margins of the paper they’re painted on. She is still referencing an art historical tradition, but now the shapes coexist in an airy space rather than collide or overlap as they have done in earlier works, where they were often imposed on highly worked

backgrounds. They summon the ghosts of Hepworth or Henry More, or Ellsworth Kelly, or even geological or biological entities: although the works are small, and you must come close to examine them, their detailed ambiguity suggests the possibilities of planets or plankton. Their surfaces still consist of craftily applied patterns within patterns – what Anna Miles has called “eye-exercising” – but now they exist in relation to a finely painted swatch of fabric which reminds of linen or plaid. These painted plaids sway and billow as if buoyed by A Mute Breeze, or a Slight Draft. Other works – Menhirs of Foam, Sand Wave – imply a marginal beach-like setting. In the studio Amber picks up the curtain fabric swaying on its hook by the window and spreads it over her hand. “I like the structure of this material; its openness; I’m thinking about the grid – how the fabric itself is a grid, not simply the resulting pattern that’s applied to it.” A resonant work is Eve Bends To Draw At the Well. She likes the pattern of these words, the way their rhythms fall

against each other till they come to rest on that allusive and resonant word ‘well.’ The two shapes in the painting seem simultaneously to beckon and resist each other. “Bend” is a resonant verb – bending may suggest either submission or flexibility, which women throughout time have required for survival. Eve is a reference to one of English artist Eric Gill’s Eves. Amber loves connecting threads and this particular thread winds its way back to Genesis. Eve derives from two related Hebrew words: chawwah: “to breathe”, and chawah: “to live”. In Genesis, God breathes life into Adam’s rib and so is born Eve, the first woman. This small perfectly balanced jewel-like painting is homage not only to the timeless tasks of every woman who nurtures her family. It is also a tribute to every woman who has yearned to make a mark, on paper or canvas. There is also the pivotal ambiguity of the word “draw.” To bend – or bow – while drawing from a well acknowledges the ongoing replenishment of ancient artistic traditions to which she herself is a contributor.

During my visit to Amber’s studio, she described the effect of seeing Freedom and Structure: Cubism and New Zealand art, 1930–1960 at the Auckland Art Gallery. What moved her was “the evidence of other people’s output who share your interests, but because they’re from a different time, their painterly invention is different – their social ambiance and the historical moment has determined their particular artistic response.” She described the pleasure of seeing a bunch of grapes painted by Louise Henderson, not only for their intrinsic beauty but also because she recognised their “little echo” in works by Saskia Leek who often paints grapes. Amber Wilson’s work is rarely large. She has painted big works in the past and would love to again. Large is “thrilling” because of the different energy required when wielding a big brush, and because size determines a different way of thinking. At this stage of her life, with a young child and the demands of teaching in the Visual Arts Department at AUT University, she compresses

her practice into paintings which are, she says, “easy to install”, can be “popped” on a wall’, and are “polite.” These words, however, belie the vigour of the thought and historical awareness underpinning her practice. As I looked at her paintings hanging “politely” on their white walls, I thought of Jane Austen who told her sister that her work was confined to “two inches of ivory” on which, “I work with so fine a brush.” She also said she didn’t write for “dull elves who have not ingenuity themselves.” Amber Wilson’s work may be “polite”; I’d call it subtle. Or elusive. And allusive. It is presently not large, but what is more satisfying than a world contained in a grain of sand? And an industrious elf could only find the sustained act of looking at it deeply satisfying. Amber Wilson is preparing for two exhibitions in March and April 2017. One is at the Anna Miles Gallery in Auckland, and the other ‘Fluid Structures’ will be in Hastings at the newly established Parlour Projects Gallery.

Resident nomads Australian artists Claire Healy and Sean Cordeiro are nomads, having collaborated for over a decade, living and working together all over the world. They are the current recipients of the Te Whare Hera Wellington International Artist Residency, established in 2014 by Massey University’s Te Whiti o Rehua School of Art and Wellington City Council. Their nomadic existence imbues their practice, their work critically and

playfully examining global mobility and notions of home and belonging. They regularly transform everyday prefabricated objects and packaging, such as IKEA kitset furniture, assembling it into sculptures and installations that highlight the refuse discarded by consumer society. Dwell (2013), an installation for the 5th Auckland Triennial, was a kind of failed kitset home, a staging of a disconcertingly familiar DIY nightmare. In Japan, We Hunt Mammoths (2005) consisted of 121 components of a Honda, bagged and laid out across the floor, each individually wrapped using

traditional Japanese methods with jute and bamboo. Harboured will include a project that directly responds to the site of the waterfront studio, with views of the ever-changing landscape. Perhaps speaking to the gothic legacy of New Zealand landscapes portrayed in painting, photography and film, the artists have sourced images of landscapes from New Zealand horror films, reproducing them with fourcolour separation to create a kind of “cartoon Impressionism” that captures some qualities of both film and photography.

Clever spaces After a dearth of artist-run initiatives in the capital, three new spaces have recently opened their doors in Wellington. Tucked away in the central city, each makes clever use of obscure or previously unoccupied space. Meanwhile consists at present of a window space and artist studios, with a larger gallery set to open later this month. The initiative was set up by three emerging artists – Jordana Bragg (you can catch Jordana’s work as part of Solo at The Dowse Art

Museum), Jesse Bowling, and Callum Devlin – who met while studying fine arts at Massey University’s College of Creative Arts. Established with support from Auckland art space Club Mirage, Meanwhile brings together local and international artists. play_station was similarly founded by five Massey University Fine Arts students – Hugh Chesterman, Tom Hammar, Tyler Jackson, Kane Laing and Bent. Initially looking for a space to exhibit as part of their final year study, the collective has secured Boosted funding toward maintenance and improvements, and will occupy

the space for at least the next year. You can find the basement gallery down an unassuming staircase on recently revamped Egmont Street. Perched above the established 17 Tory Street space, Tory Street Studios was started by local artists, including Kirsty Lillico and Ruth Thomas-Edmond. With artist studios at the rear and a small foyer and exhibition space at the front, it launched in October with a group show: when you look it up and it’s sad.

Waikato windfall A 60-painting bequest from the late Melvin Day has bolstered the collection register at Waikato Museum. The work spans nearly 80 years of his practice and will add to the museum’s collection of artists with a connection to the region. “Hamilton born Day was a prolific and radical painter in his time and his abstract and cubist works have featured in many exhibitions,” said Waikato Museum Director Cherie Meecham.

Gallery gold

Good news abounds for the GovettBrewster Art Gallery in New Plymouth. Since the Len Lye Centre opened a year ago attendance is up 239% with 150,000 visitors – a third more than anticipated. It’s also scored gold for Large Brand Identity in the Designers Institute Best Design Awards. Their creative team captured movements from the Len Lye Wind Wand on the New Plymouth foreshore and used a series of these “marks” in its branding. The branding is also up for two awards in the Australian Graphic Design Association Design Awards at the end of November.

They’re very frond of it

Since 1998 Neil Dawson’s hanging orb Ferns has been buffeted by the gentle zephyrs that scud through Wellington city’s Civic Square. Eighteen months ago it was removed as the aluminium was showing signs of stress. Wellington Sculpture Trust Chair Sue Elliot said a replacement is being made from steel this time. In total $215,000 is required to reinstate the sculpture that many regard as synonymous with the capital city. It is hoped Ferns will be back in place by April 2017.

Green scene

Native bush will feature in an exhibition by Paris Kirby. The 26-year-old received a $10,000 AMP scholarship and intends to mount a show of eight large canvases in early 2018. After finishing her Bachelor of Arts at Whitecliffe in 2013 she was employed in student recruitment by the school and wants to continue working with young students. In 2016 AMP awarded in total $200,000 to 28 young New Zealanders so they could realise their dreams. From youth workers to wannabe Olympic fencers, musicians to wildlife veterinarians.

Colour me impressed

Pantone has released its two “Colours of 2016.” Rose Quartz (a light pastel pink) and Serenity (a baby blue) have proved popular and have been dominating runways and Instagram feeds. The company began as a printing firm in the 50s in the United States and has grown to influence a generation of designers with their colour pad swatches used by designers to match colour. We’re assuming puce won’t be mounting the winner’s podium any time soon.

Art heart

October was a busy month in Christchurch, with the launches of FESTA: Festival of Transitional and SCAPE Public Art. FESTA’s headline event Lean Means saw a temporary city created from recycled and repurposed materials, reportedly drawing 15,000 people to explore the large-scale installation. As well as an initial opening weekend of free events, this year SCAPE also included a curated exhibition of outdoor works, a public art walkway, a student and emerging artists’ exhibition, and an ongoing series of talks, screenings, public and education programmes.

“This was done by rubbish contractors in response to a complaint from the police.”

Auckland Council Community and Event Arts general manager Graham Bodman apologising for the accidental removal of an art installation in Vulcan Lane. Xin Cheng and Chris Berthelsen’s work The Robust Welcome Place incorporated recycled materials to create a shelter. Its reference to homelessness was clearly too much for some members of the public who complained. NZ Herald, 12 Oct 2016

“Please join us for the launch of the limited edition Dick Frizzell frame exclusive to Specsavers.”

Featurette

Taranaki-born, Berlin-based artist Ruth Buchanan is exhibiting concurrently at the Govett-Brewster in New Plymouth and the Adam Art Gallery in Wellington. Lily Hacking looks at Buchanan’s work.

Across time and space While distinctly different, each exhibition shows Buchanan engaging critically with the architecture and history of the respective gallery space and the language and conventions of exhibition making. The actual and its document is a collection show, an archival project, and a contemporary art and design exhibition. It is the result of the Govett-

Brewster Aotearoa New Zealand Artist Residency, which Buchanan held for three months over summer 2015–16. Working with the gallery’s collection, the artist became increasingly interested in the acquisition strategies and policies at various stages of its history. Buchanan focuses on the period between 1970 and 1983, which captures both the formation of the Govett-Brewster in 1970, and the time her own family was living in Taranaki. Beginning with the collection policy of inaugural director John Maynard,

Buchanan pays particular attention to The Great De-Accession Exhibition of 1982, under director Dick Bett. The exhibition put the entire collection on display, with the public invited to help review particular works in order to help refine the collection policy. A public discussion was held (an edited transcript is read aloud to visitors by gallery staff), and the exercise resulted in a recommendation from Bett that the collection focus on four key strengths – art from Taranaki, New Zealand sculpture, non-figurative painting and

work by Len Lye. By placing at the centre of the exhibition pieces from the collection that embody these strengths, Buchanan offers a mediated consideration of these works in the context of institutional collecting, and of the impact of collecting on artists’ careers and the creation of culture. Buchanan chose to forgo the autonomy of a solo exhibition, inviting two other women to join her – German artists Judith Hopf and Marianne Wex. Buchanan has personal connections to both artists, whose work she holds in high regard. In Bad Visual Systems their work is presented alongside Buchanan’s own, creating a dialogue between their respective practices and locating her in

a particular art historical context. Buchanan deftly exploits the sometimes challenging spaces of the Adam Art Gallery. Upon passing through the sliding entrance doors of the gallery, the visitor is immediately confronted with a large expanse of purple PVC cutting across the space, an enjoyably awkward opening gambit that sets the tone for the rest of the exhibition. Other encounters include a thirteen-second video on loop in the elevator, a text-based tablet work hand-held by a gallery attendant, a suspended banner that drops from one space into another, and sensoractivated speakers. Upstairs, in the window of the gallery, handmade wool

rugs lend a certain domesticity to the hard lines of the space. Downstairs a painting, made with the artist’s brother Benjamin, references a work by Colin McCahon in the university collection, which hung in a foyer especially designed to accommodate it, and alludes to the 1930s murals Le Corbusier surreptitiously painted on the walls of the home of modernist designer and architect Eileen Gray. Both The actual and its document and Bad Visual Systems evoke a series of simultaneous conversations between voices past and present, the potential cacophony expertly orchestrated and conducted by Ruth Buchanan as artist, historian and curator.

46 Education special Art courses range from evening classes or weekend retreats to post-graduate opportunities. Here not only are multi-level courses offered but specialisation also. Photography, sculpture, electronic arts, jewellery, design and conceptual art tuition are on offer.

Jolly good fellows

Dunedin is home to the longest-running artist residency in New Zealand. The Frances Hodgkins Fellowship has supported 48 artists over 50 years. Artists are paid like university lecturers for a year, and can devote themselves full-time to producing art. Otago University’s Hocken Collection and the Dunedin Public Art Gallery have combined forces to mount an exhibition showcasing work from every such artist – the first 40 of them are exhibiting a work from the year they attended and a more recent creation. Exhibition curator Priscilla Pits said of the residency, “The opportunity to devote a year to thinking and experimenting in artwork has changed artists and created careers: it’s been very influential.”

About for Stout

Scholar and author Dr Damian Skinner will be the 2017 JD Stout Fellow at Victoria University. Director of the Stout Research Centre Dr Lydia Wevers says of Skinner, “He’s had a big impact on how we think about art. His project on Theo Schoon will add a new perspective to the history of modernism in Aotearoa”. Skinner has previously received a Doctorate in Philosophy from Victoria University, a Masters in Indigenous Studies from the University of Otago, and a Master of Arts and Bachelor of Arts from the University of Auckland.

Essay building

A new writing award is proving popular. In only its second year, more than 90 essays were entered in the Warren Trust Awards for Architectural Writing. The award was established by the New Zealand Institute of Architects to encourage writing about architecture. Judges Nicola Legat, publisher of Massey University Press, and Jeremy Hansen awarded the top prize of $1,500 to Nelson teacher Craig Martin who wrote about the John Scott designed Aniwaniwa Visitor Centre near Lake Waikaremoana, which was recently demolished.

Fitting tribute

Doyenne of New Zealand photographers Marti Friedlander has received an honorary doctorate from Auckland University. The Honorary Doctor of Literature degree celebrates Friedlander’s nearly six decades of documenting New Zealand’s people, landscape, culture and social change. The news of this distinction came less than a month before her death in November at 88. (See obituary on page 20)

Master and commander

Victoria University of Wellington launches a new arts degree for 2017. The Master of Fine Arts (Creative Practice) enables graduates to hone design, film-making, film scoring, sound design or theatre skills. The focus is on developing professional skills alongside practice-based research, so students are given an internship with one of Victoria’s creative-industry partners. Scholarships are available to domestic and international students.

Art by degrees

Whitecliffe College has streamlined its Bachelor of Fine Arts programme. Its flagship fouryear degree is now a three-year programme that can lead to an honours year. The New Zealand Qualifications Authority has given final approval to the change, and the 2017 student intake will begin the new course. A Bachelor of Fine Arts degree has been on offer at Whitecliffe for 20 years.

Con-graduation Exposure 2016 opened earlier this month at Massey University, the culmination of several years of hard work for College of Creative Arts graduates. The impressive collection of works on view included striking sculptural works from Tyler Jackson

that played on light and colour; an ethereal multi-channel video work from Cheska Brown; and a sculpture and video installation from Isabella Loudon. This year also saw a diverse selection of painted works, among them Morgan Hogg’s brush strokes in a delicate palette on transparent canvas; colourful abstracts by Lauren Collinson; and Chora Luz Carleton’s

works on paper with accompanying texts. Hugh Chesterman’s mountain of redundant technology spoke to the contemporary dilemma of storing and accessing information and memory. There was as always a representation of strong graphic-design portfolios and some innovative design, fashion and textile projects specifically addressing sustainable design practices.

Embedding art Artists should be involved in city planning said public artist Professor Frances Whitehead, from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, in the keynote address at the first Art + Future symposium launched at Otago Polytechnic last month. The symposium was organised in

a bid to discover new perspectives on climate, energy and culture. Professor Whitehead promoted the benefits of involving artists in city planning. “Artists are very tuned into newness and new ideas. Artists are idea machines,” she explains. “We’re not just talking about an opportunity for a new way to make regular public art. We’re really talking about putting creativity into the mix of everything the city’s doing.” Whitehead spearheaded The Embedded Artist Project in Chicago,

which sought to put artists into city government. She has seen interest for similar initiatives in both Christchurch and Dunedin. Her advice: “Be in it for the long haul. Build a coalition of interested parties. Collectively, with the city, formulate the platform. Don’t try and get it completely done and then take it to them. You have to work with them, like any collaboration.” Whitehead was also a key figure in the creation of the 606 in Chicago, which transformed disused rail tracks into a raised public park.

Painting, poetry, photography , film, weaving and waiata have all been created by 26 artists hosted in Dusky Sound/Tamatea by the Department of Conservation. In winter 2014 and summer 2015 the department took two teams of artists to the sound to learn about the DOC restoration project in progress there to protect one of the most intact ecosystems in the world. In total 26 artists visited, and they have since produced 62 works in response to their experience. Visual artists have include Robin White, Nigel Brown, Euan Macleod, Gerda Leenards and Craig Potton.

The first major review of Ann Shelton’s photography practice unfolds time, place narrative, trauma and female authorship, says curator Dr Zara Stanhope. Since coming to prominence 20 years ago Shelton has established herself as a leading New Zealand photographer. Unseen works from the 1990s plus a new series from 2016 are included. Shelton is an Associate Professor at the School of Art of Massey University.
