In that stone, in that cyclone, in that leaf
Group Exhibition 2 - 26 Jul 2025 Auckland City Earlier this year, wildfires rocked the Greater Los Angeles area, destroying thousands of buildings and burning over 50,000 acres. Extreme weather events – cyclones, rainstorms and floods – are increasing with the impacts of climate change, which pose a very real threat for Pacific nations. This exhibition, In that stone, in that cyclone, in that leaf, brings together a group of artists whose practices explore and expand contemporary perspectives on place, identity and environmental concerns in Aotearoa and Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa. It features the work of represented artists Shane Cotton, Brett Graham, Reuben Paterson, Patricia Piccinini, John Pule and John Walsh, with invited artists Star Gossage, Emily Karaka and Yuki Kihara, and the late influential painter Colin McCahon (1919-1987).

Montage of Attractions
Matthew Browne 26 Feb - 22 Mar 2025 Auckland City In the wake of grief, a very personal new body of work has emerged from Tāmaki Makaurau-based painter Matthew Browne. With a highly skilled and established practice in geometric abstraction, Browne has often explored the metaphorical, unseen and emotive within his formalist compositions. Montage of Attractions takes his practice even further into the realm of personal expression, after the death of his father, with an incredibly impressive output of 92 works on paper and a suite of paintings. The title of the show stems from Sergei Eisenstein’s 1923 film theory, reflecting on how an audience can be profoundly moved by a sequence of ‘attractions’—the audience working to piece together fragments of a narrative into the full story. This journey of montage is one that Browne’s latest exhibition delves into. Read more
