“Falling into Place” Kajsa Backstrom 2012
Kajsa Backstrom installation “Falling into Place” at Aratoi Art Gallery Masterton.
“A View From Where I Was Sleeping” Dowse Art Museum, Wellington.
Curated By Lily Hacking
A View from Where I Was Sleeping presents a selection of collaborative art and design works from the 1950s to the present by local and international artists. The titleis taken from a poem of the same name by Gregory O’Brien, which can be seen in the exhibition wrapped around a ceramic vase by artist Noel McKenna.
Often working across surprisingly different artistic disciplines, the exhibition includes graphic designers, glass artists, jewellers, writers, sculptors, furniture designers, ceramicists, rug makers, painters, typographers, and multi-media interdisciplinary artists.
Each work is the outcome of a particular exchange of ideas and is consequently charged with a certain kind of intimacy. These collaborations are imbued with the history of their own making, and those personal relationships that shaped them.
Other artists in the show include Raewyn Atkinson, Catherine Griffiths, Kate Woods, Jenny Bornholdt, Lucie Rie, Karl Fritsch, Francis Upritchard, Martino Gamper, Karl Chitham, Crystal Chain Gang and more.
