Four Times Painting
2 June – 29 July 2007

Acknowledging painting as a medium that has come back into critical focus, this exhibition considers how artists today engage with painting’s history, purpose, and material practices. Curated by Christina Barton, Director of the Adam Art Gallery, it features the work of Simon Ingram, Julian Dashper, Isobel Thom and Shane Cotton, four contemporary New Zealand artists whose works can be approached as complex and multilayered meditations on painting’s relation to time.
