Séraphine Pick
"Séraphine Pick's original and imaginative practice has made her one of New Zealand's most highly regarded painters. From the spectral dresses, leaky baths and teetering suitcases of the 1990s to the psychologically-charged dreamscapes of more recent years, this large-scale survey exhibition brings together eighty works made between 1994 and 2009. Tracing the effects of Pick's ongoing interest in memory, identity, sexuality, and imagination, this exhibition unveils several new paintings and is accompanied by a richly illustrated publication, featuring essays on relevant aspects of Pick’s practice as well as responses to individual works by leading art writers."
Alicia Frankovich
"New Zealand artist Alicia Frankovich has quickly established a reputation for producing highly charged and provocative artworks that span a diverse range of media, ideas and subject matter. One of the stand-out figures to have emerged from the New Zealand art community in recent years and currently based in both Melbourne and Berlin, Frankovich comes to Dunedin on the back of a number of notable projects at the Australia Centre for Contemporary Art (Melbourne), ARTSPACE (Auckland) and the Auckland Art Gallery. Frankovich’s Visiting Artist’s exhibition at the Dunedin Public Art Gallery is the result of eight intensive weeks researching and building a series of discrete sculptural elements relating to the body."
Madeleine Child: Sweet As
"Recent co-joint winner of the prestigious Portage Award, Madeleine Child brings her lurid candy coloured ceramics to the Dunedin Public Art Gallery. Sweet As promises to be a playful installation of Child’s signature range of oversized and deliciously rococo popcorn."
