Frieze

Group Exhibition 17 Mar - 17 Apr 2021 Lorne Street [2008 - 2021] The exhibition, titled Frieze, is the third iteration of a show that takes inspiration from the classical frieze tradition where a long stretch of painting, sculpture or calligraphy wraps a wall or architrave. Previous iterations spanned the interior of the Kitchener Street Gallery with paintings in 2005, and Lorne Street in 2011. Here in its third iteration, with works made specifically for the space, the exhibition celebrates this moment in time in contemporary art and pays homage to the site that has hosted numerous artists' projects in the past.

The World Outside and the Pictures in Our Heads

André Hemer 25 Nov - 19 Dec 2020 Lorne Street [2008 - 2021] Gow Langsford Gallery presents a new body of work by Vienna-based New Zealand artist André Hemer, where the digital morphs with the material to record the outside world. Featuring abstracted surfaces in the brilliant colours of the ever-changing skies, The World Outside and the Pictures in Our Heads acts as an ode to circadian rhythm at a time where the world is in paradox – pandemic related restrictions have caused us to be more observant of nature’s fleeting moments while being disconnected with the natural environment in an unprecedented way.
