Vivid Hikoi (2009) by Bobby Macdonald

 

OPENING: 6-8pm, Thursday 3 September
EXHIBITION DATES: 4 -26 September

Fresh Gallery Otara was invited to participate in the annual 'New Artists Show' at Auckland's Artspace alongside two other galleries that promote new art and artists. The opportunity prompted a simultaneously running exhibition at Fresh Gallery Otara that explores ideas surrounding the transplanting of new art being made in south Auckland into a central Auckland gallery environment. The resulting exhibition brings together five practitioners with a connection to south Auckland; their works range from documentation of protest and cultural interface to tributes of political change-makers, cultural spaces and symbolism.

 

The Artspace project entitled small axe⁰⁹ is a video work that combines submissions and participation of a collective of artists from the Fresh Gallery Otara community exploring the theme of hair straightening as an enquiry into cultural transformation.
