CHRISTCHURCH ART GALLERY
Morris & Co.
- The World of
William Morris
Till 29
June 2008
William
Morris - the man behind the firm Morris & Co. - remains a remarkable figure
more than a century after his death. His work endures, with many of his designs
for wallpapers, textiles and carpets still popular today. Artist, designer,
socialist, poet, novelist and theorist: Morris's work is celebrated in this
exquisite show.
Darryn George: Pulse
The
walls themselves become the artwork in Darryn George's new project. Stretching
more than fifty metres and reaching from floor to ceiling, Pulse is an
engulfing fusion of customary Maori art and contemporary abstract painting.
Using intricate patterns, chanting rhythms and an eye-popping palette of red,
black and white, George fills the hushed white cube of the Sutton Gallery with
a continual pulse of light, language and pattern.
I See Red
5
December 2007 - August 2008
Through
a selection of eclectic, mainly contemporary artworks for the Gallery's
collection, this interactive children's exhibition explores some of the strong
meanings and ideas associated with the colour red.
Peter Peryer: Tecomanthe
To
celebrate the Festival of Flowers, Peter Peryer's work Tecomanthe will hang in
the Gallery foyer. Tecomanthe Speciosa is a rare twining climber that was
discovered on one of the Three Kings Islands northwest of Cape Reinga in 1946.
All the vines we have today descend from this one plant.
Keeping Time
23 May - 31 August 2008
Touring Exhibition Gallery B
Exploring the moment when past and
present collide, this collection-based exhibition teams Denis O'Connor's
monumental limestone sculpture The Gorse King with a selection of works in
other media to consider how history, memory and tradition frame our experience
of the world.
Bouncy Marae
31 May - 27 July 2008
Foyer
Bring the kids down to the Gallery to
play on Inez Crawford's giant inflatable artwork Bouncy Marae. Inspired by her
childhood impression that her local marae was a fairytale castle, Crawford has
created her own bouncy-castle wharenui - brown on the outside, bright pink
inside, and free for the kids to jump around in!
Subsonic
sound art in the bunker
Begins May 2008
From May onwards, if you're climbing the
stairs to the forecourt or catching the elevator from the Gallery's underground
carpark you'll find yourself immersed in Subsonic, a new programme of sound art
curated by Peter Vangioni.
Ben Cauchi: Dead Time
3 May - 3 August 2008
Burdon Family Gallery
Ben Cauchi deftly manipulates light
sources, studio effects and darkroom techniques to create a mysterious,
illusory zone. Known for his use of mid-19th-century photographic processes,
Dead Time reveals the results of a recently completed residency as Frances
Hodgkins Fellow in Dunedin.
