Present Tense: Group Exhibition

Presented at Gow Langsford’s City gallery, Present Tense brings together a dynamic range of voices shaping the landscape of contemporary art in Aotearoa today. Spanning diverse practices, media, and perspectives from the gallery’s stable, the show reflects a moment of collective inquiry - into identity, memory, materiality, and the evolving nature of image and form.

Present Tense features new works from Sara Hughes, Michael Hight, Hugo Koha Lindsay and Grace Wright, as well as recent works from newly represented Steve Carr, Claudia Kogachi, Patricia Piccinini, Dale Frank, Matthew Browne, Chris Heaphy, Sam Harrison, Simon Ingram, Yafeng Duan and the Estate of Paul Dibble. The exhibition is presented to coincide with the Aotearoa Art Fair on 1-4 May 2025 at Viaduct Events Centre, Auckland.
