Desiree Dolron exhibition to open at Suite

The second exhibition at new Wellington gallery, Suite, is about to open this Thursday, October 11, an exhibition by internationally renowned photographer Desiree Dolron (born Haarlem in the Netherlands , 1967). While Dolron's work is well represented in major collections around the world (including the Solomon R. Guggenheim and Buhl Collection in New York, Victoria & Albert in London, Stedelijk, Amsterdam and Museo Nacional Reina in Madrid), this will be the artist's first exhibition in the Southern Hemisphere. The works in this show are from Dolron's Te e di todos mis sueno / I give you all my dreams (2002) series, the result of four months spent in Havana photographing the poorest areas of the city. The atmosphere of these luminously clean and coloured prints is one of mystery and silence, as if time had magically stopped. The eerie images includes those of sitting rooms, schoolchildren, a library, a ballerina, classrooms, kitchens and the back-streets of Havana and its bay.

Suite is located at 69 Owen Street , Newtown , Wellington . Regular gallery hours are Thursday - Friday 11am - 5pm and Saturday 11am-4pm. Viewing can also be arranged by appointment and online at: www.suite.co.nz
