IMPressive V - Wansolwara:
Print here and now
Subject to the Creative:
A Nathan Homestead Tutors’
and Students’ Exhibition
When: 28 October-30 November
When: 4 December-11 January
Where:Nathan Homestead Gallery
Where:Nathan Homestead Gallery
Opening: Tuesday 28 October, 6-7.30pm
Opening: Thursday 4 December, 6-7.30pm
Every inked image participates in a migration
like shift from its start point, be that a plate,
block, screen or file, to place(s) where it will be
seen. The printed image sits on a new ground,
always in the here and now, separated from
yet connected to its origins.
This group exhibition shines with images,
artwork and ideas explored in the many
creative courses of Nathan Homestead. View
the remarkable display of new artworks created
with flair and skill by adult art students and see
the vibrant work created by younger students.
All of us here in Aotearoa carry the legacy of
recent or long distant migrations to the land
of the long white cloud. We are connected to,
and separated from, the rest of the world by
salt water. We live close to the sea, it nourishes
us, connects us to home and opens us up to
discovery.
The works included provide an insight into
the range of arts practices available at the arts
centre. This is also an excellent opportunity to
view a selection of art work created by Nathan
Homestead’s skilled and dedicated tutors.
The word wansolwara comes from the
Solomon Islands. The word comes from the
pidgin dialect and literally means ‘one salt
water’. The notion arising from this is one
ocean, one people.
Come and see the 5th IMPressive print
show, which is also part of the Urbanesia
Festival. This year the show is open to
artists who develop work from a practice
that acknowledges current and historical
print practices.
Curated by Steve Lovett and Cerisse Palalagi.
