Wayne Barrar : An expanding subterra.

A leading figure in New Zealand photographic circles, Wayne Barrar consistently challenges audiences to think about land use, place and borders in an increasingly controlled world. An Expanding Subterra brings together for the first time a body of work that Barrar has been working on for the last seven years. This project provides a timely insight into a highly industrialized and commodified underground, where vast areas are taken up storing data and nuclear waste, multinational organizations operate 24/7 and teams of workers continue to prospect for rare materials.

Heather Straka : The Asian.

The Asian is the first major solo exhibition by Heather Straka in a New Zealand public gallery. For this project Straka has commissioned a selection of artisans from Shenzhen, China to produce fifty high-end copies of one of her original ‘Asian Girl’ paintings. This promises to be an intriguing installation where ideas about the authentic and fake, truth and lie, original and copy are brought into question.

Please swing

Personal experience of space is all about programme experience. This exhibition is taking the childhood memory of park swings and experiencing your own individual space.

Clearing

Lateral Architecture: This piece of exhibition art explores the ideas behind the competitiveness of personal space. Clearing invites visitors to modify and customize their immediate individual physical and atmospheric limits. The intervention will be mutable and invite gallery visitors to participate in customization of their personal space, and its subsequent impact on others.

snowflake

Milan 2010: Japanese designer Tokujin Yoshioka created an installation with hundreds of transparent plastic sticks at the Kartellshowroom in Milan last week.

Tokujin Yoshioka "created a serene world with numerous transparent prism sticks in plastic. The accumulation of transparent sticks is tinged with white color just like real snow. I believe that the installation will offer visitors extraordinary experiences as if stepping into the snowflake."

Nosigner

Japanese designer Nosigner created the space for an exhibition called Techtile at the University of Tokyo last November. The exhibition focuses at integration of tactile design & latest tactile technology. Nosigner designed visual identities & space design.
