Aratoi

Two 'tourists of photography' of different generations in a game of visual snap. Gavin Hipkins's new epic eighty-photo frieze The Homely II scrambles of images of New Zealand and Great Britain. This 'Victorian melodrama' is accompanied by some fifty Peter Peryer photos chosen to resonate with it. The title comes from a Peryer image, which sees 'GONE HOME' inscribed on a tombstone. Peryer died in November 2018.

The exhibition includes A Place in the Cosmos (2020), a new silent Super 8mm film created by Gavin Hipkins especially for the Aratoi exhibition and shot at Stonehenge Aotearoa, in Wairarapa. We invite musicians, dancers, poets and other artists to perform to the black-and-white film during the duration of the exhibition- please make a booking with us.

Curated by Gavin Hipkins and Robert Leonard, Chief Curator, City Gallery Wellington.
Thanks to the Peryer Estate, Charnwood Trust, and other lenders.
