Place in Space
An Exhibition
of Artworks in Progress
Thursday November 12th to Sunday
November 15th
The Print Factory, 35 King Street, Mount
Cook, Wellington
Place in Space is an
exhibition of large scale artworks in varying stages of
completion which offer unique insight into the creative
process’s of the artists involved. The show highlights the
process of creativity over the finished product.
The
artworks range from sculpture to video to cross stitch and
are as diverse in format as they are in the ideas that
inform them. Works include a Morris Minor in the process of
an unusual restoration, paintings inspired by the story of
Moby Dick, a self sufficient garden, large scale video work
and an old clinker converted into a space craft about to
attempt an impossible flight.
A large disused
factory space supplies the perfect site for a show. Over the
four days of the exhibition, The Print Factory site will
play multiple roles as gallery, workshop, test space, and
laboratory. Some artworks will respond directly to this
environment, while others will create environments within
it.
Place In Space is an excellent chance to see young Artists work in their complete or incomplete stages that outlines a trajectory but not the destination.
Place in Space opens on Wednesday 11th of November, from
6pm to 8pm, with beer sponsored by Tuatara Brewery and
featuring a live performance by Wellington based
kazaamBLAM!
Featured Artists: Catherine Caudwell,
Hannah Edmunds, Andrew Ivory, Shane McGrath Christina
