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.
