Fiona Pardington: A Beautiful Hesitation
22 August – 22 November, 2015
Fiona Pardington is one of New Zealand’s most important, and celebrated, photographers. A Beautiful Hesitation is the
largest exhibition of her work to date, with over 100 photographs, spanning 30 years. Its title comes from the artist’s
description of photography as a “hesitation in time”.
Demented Architecture
27 June – 8 November, 2015
Works from around the globe by contemporary artists that satirises the relationship between art and architecture, and
the mythology of the architect.
Susan Te Kahurangi King | Shannon Te Ao: from the one I call my own
27 June – 8 November, 2015
This provocative pairing opens up points of convergence between two bodies of work that supposedly occupy different ends
of the contemporary art spectrum. Susan Te Kahurangi King is a 64 year old self-taught artist who stopped speaking
around the age of five. She draws, endlessly and inventively—in graphite, coloured pencils, pastels or inks on paper.
Shannon Te Ao (Ngati Tuwharetoa) is a contemporary artist whose videos and performances often isolate and refigure
aspects of spoken language drawn from Maori cultural forms such as whakatauki and waiata.

Narbey’s film, A Film of Real Time: A Sound-Light Environment (1970) is shown with the Hungarian modernist Laszlo
Moholy-Nagy’s film Light Play: Black White Grey (1930) which documents the effects of his kinetic light sculpture, the
Light-Space Modulator.
