Depot Artspace Exhibition Openings - Saturday 16 March

Depot Artspace Exhibition Openings - Saturday 16 March


As part of the Auckland Arts Festival, the Depot Artspace, Museum of the Vernacular and various galleries around Devonport are participating in White Night! We would be pleased if you could join us for the openings of our latest exhibitions Conspicuous Consumption and Pot Luck at the Depot Artspace on Saturday 16 March, 6-10pm.

Conspicuous Consumption is a degustation of artistic interpretations about the meaning of sustenance and people’s relationship to it, focusing on one of our most evocative and provocative objects of attention: food. 16 artists explore the social, historical, cultural, emotional, sensory and symbolic aspects of what we consume.

Including work by Katherine Batchelor, Janette Cervin, Graham Downs, Linda Gair, Robyn Gibson, Bev Goodwin, Weilun Ha, Andrea Halley, Joanna Lewton, Sue Lorimer, Sally Lush, Prue MacDougall, Sean McDonnell, Nyle Major, Biljana Popovic, Mandy Thomsett Taylor and Ruby Watson.

Pot Luck cooks up a visual storm investigating the evolution of our distinctive Kiwi culinary culture and the Depot Artspace would like you to participate! This exhibition comprises local artefacts that relate to New Zealand’s culinary culture and will take place in the Vernacular Lounge at the Depot Artspace. You are invited to bring an item to display or a photograph that represents what Kiwi culinary culture means to you.
Both exhibitions will run from the 16th – 28th of March.
