We are delighted to be able to show Joyce Campbell’s highly acclaimed video Flightdream in Wellington and to announce the release of new digital stills specially created for her Wellington exhibition.
Flightdream has had three major showings this year. It was included in the Sydney Biennale and is currently showing in the Christchurch Art Gallery and at the Auckland Art Gallery as part of the Walters Prize finalists exhibition — the winner of which will be announced on Friday night.
Flightdream is an immersive visionary voyage into the barely known depths of the oceans — a visual response, on a mythological scale, to the erosion of the actual and conceptual sublime in a time of ‘rapidly accelerating global environmental crisis’. Joyce’s work asks the viewer to feel and experience the process of creation and destruction and asks questions about perception and the role art can play in enhancing understanding of environmental issues.
The new digital stills, while referencing celluloid and the cinematic, allow time to linger with the ever-mobile imagery of the video.
Please contact us if you would like preview images.

Christchurch's Scape Public Art opens its 2016 season this Saturday
Amongst the nine artists featured in the six week 2016 programme are Cat Auburn and Rachael Rakena.
Cat's work, The Horses Stayed Behind (detail below), commemorates the almost 10,000 horses that went to World War I and never returned. Exploring and subverting traditional notions of the monument, her installation comprises a five metre long panel of Victorian memorial rosettes, each made of the hair of a different horse donated by horse owners all around the country.

|
Rachael shows Te la Tangata (detail below), a multi-channel video work from her ongoing series He Waiata Whaiaipo — a love song in moving image.

More information about the work of these artists and others, as well as the public programme can be found here.

Peter Roche features in Artweek Auckland, 8–16 October
|
|
In association with Artweek Auckland 2016, Peter Roche is presenting Asylum, a multi-sensory art installation spread across all six silos at Silo Park on the waterfront. The six-part installation uses elements such as wind, water, sound, light and movement to delve into dark themes such as terrorism, state control, surveillance, violence, war and mass exodus.
Peter Roche is a senior artist who is primarily known for his kinetic sculptures and installations and is one of the few contemporary artists to have consistently used light and movement as his dominant medium. His work is in many public and private collections
