Seen Anew is an extended exhibition that brings together works from Te Aratoi o Whakatū The Suter Collection.
Featuring previously unseen or rarely exhibited works from the last three decades of Ian Scott’s life, this exhibition explores his interest in New Zealand painting and painters beyond his well-known ‘lattices’ series. Blending portraiture, landscape, text, reproduction and abstraction, Scott brings artists, artworks and familiar New Zealand imagery together in lively, layered compositions.
Although trained as a goldsmith, Walker is widely known for her inventive, inquiring and often humorous approach to jewellery, pushing the boundaries of what it can be.
In That Furrows the Brow, her pendant heads range from sewn and stuffed linen to densely beaded stones, including garnet, turquoise, labradorite and aquamarine. Some bring together precious stones and soft, everyday materials in unexpected ways.
He wāhi pāoro brings together two video works by Ana Iti, I am a salt lake (2024) and A dry and windswept body (2025), filmed at Kāpara-Te-Hau (Lake Grassmere) in Marlborough. Against the striking landscape of the salt lakes, Iti explores how the cycles and processes of salt production might offer ways of understanding our relationship with the natural world.
Combining text, footage of the salt lakes and scenes filmed at the artist’s home in Heretaunga, Hawkes Bay, I am a salt lake draws connections between place, body and the rhythms of everyday life. In A dry and windswept body, drone footage captured during the salt harvest is paired with an experimental soundscape shaped by the textures and rhythms of breath and salt.
Pauline Kahurangi Yearbury: Life in forms
Life in forms celebrates the work of trailblazing Ngāpuhi artist Pauline Kahurangi Yearbury (1928–1977), a foundational figure in contemporary Māori art.
Spanning four decades, from the 1940s to the 1970s, the exhibition brings together sketches, paintings and incised wooden panels, revealing Yearbury’s distinctive approach to depicting the energy and emotion of the human form and her commitment to sharing pūrākau.
Life in forms is an exhibition developed by Te Uru Waitākere Contemporary Gallery.
