On now at Wellington’s The Walrus Gallery – cnr Jessie and Taranaki St – is Contemporary Artifacts, an exhibition of new work by Sandy Rodgers running until December 12. Rodgers’ work explores the Maori and Pakeha histories drawing upon maps, illustrations and other archival materials.
Exit Dunedin
Exit Dunedin - a recent project organised by Wellington artist John Borley – undertook the task of proving this year’s graduates of Dunedin’s School of Fine Art with detailed critical responses to their work from a team of invited arts professionals. Inspired, in part, by a 2002 project Static that took place in Liverpool, Exit sought to deal with the issues and problems confronting art students moving from the protected environment of the art school into the professional realm by giving students a direct experience of public reception of their work.
