Keeping Secrets and Stealing Things
A solo exhibition at Artspace's Mezzanine
In a recent conversation with a friend I asked her whether she had ever stolen anything as a youngster. For my part, I do have a memory of standing in the dairy on Vauxhall Road thinking about stealing something while the proprietor was busy (after being dared to by my older brother), but I didn’t, I chickened out.
I boldly claimed to my friend that I was such a geek I had never stolen so much as a lolly.
Not long after, though, I found a few pieces of detritus my studio research boxes, the first of which put a lie to my words.
In this exhibition, I serially reveal, catalogue and archive my accumulation of discomfort in weekly chapters.
Art New Zealand Review of Duas Cidades
Shucks! Thank you Edward Hanfling and Art New Zealand for the great review of Duas Cidades!
Here's a snippet: "Duas Cidades is a restrained, pleasantly bitty, collection of thoughtful propositions – a quiet and ever-so-slightly quaint reprise of some of the time-honoured techniques of Conceptual Art"
The Summer edition of Art New Zealand is on shelves now.
