Artist Amanda Mackenzie, alongside her egg-tray installation at Depot Artspace
Gallery Exhibitions & Art
Common Matter: Depot Artspace
Artist Amanda Mackenzie presents a study of the humble egg tray — made for function from waste, endlessly recycled, the epitome of sustainability. Community contributions (of around 3500 egg trays) form the foundation of structures that are stacked, clustered and reconfigured. Read the story in the 10 April Flagstaff.
When: Friday and Saturday, 10am–4pm.
Where: 28 Clarence St.
Fearsome Beauty: Exhibition opening at Satellite2
The kahu (harrier hawk) is front and centre of this exhibition by Derek March. With its tearing beak and deadly grappling clawed feet, it is depicted as an embodiment of nature’s dark energy as well her raw beauty.
When: Exhibition opening, Saturday 12–3pm. Otherwise Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 10am–2pm.
Where: 61A Victoria Rd.
Verity Kindleysides at Depot 3 Vic Road
Verity Kindleysides’ exhibition, Inside the Garden & Beyond (after Pat Hanly), explores the three-maunga Devonport peninsula, linked by jewel-like gardens. It’s a reinterpretation and homage to Pat Hanly’s early-1970s Inside the Garden series.
When: Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 10am–4pm.
Where: 3 Victoria Rd.
Inkpressions at Depot Lounge
Inkpressions, an exhibition by Argentina-born artist Ana Ferrari, grew from a place of play, experimentation and improvisation with relief printing. The works explore texture, colour and organic form through curiosity and the simple joy of making.
When: Friday and Saturday, 10am–4pm.
Where: 28 Clarence St.
Katie Robinson at the Rose Centre Art Spot
Each month, the Rose Centre Art Spot highlights the work of a different local artist. Katie Robinson’s artistic influences are shaped by her background in the natural sciences, and her interest in light, landscape and colour (the emotional anchor of her work, which she uses to spotlight her subject matter).
When: Monday to Friday, 9am–4pm.
Where: 4 School Road, Belmont.
