Winners at Aratoi a Second Showing for 2019 Molly Morpeth Canaday Award – Painting and Drawing Winning Works Winners at Aratoi A second showing for 2019 Molly Morpeth Canaday Award – Painting and Drawing winning works Masterton is set to host 13 new award-winning artworks at Aratoi Wairarapa Museum of Art and History, fresh from the 2019 Molly Morpeth Canaday Award – Painting and Drawing exhibition in Whakatāne. This is the first time an extended showing has come to the Wairarapa. Co-ordinator Heather Hourigan says the new partnership with Aratoi is an ideal way to reach out to a different community. “Audiences from the Wairarapa would not normally get to see this national award exhibition,” she says. “We also liked the idea that this extended showing would highlight the opportunities open to Wairarapa artists.” This non-acquisitive award invites entries from New Zealand artists each year, and celebrates a unique variety of conceptual, visual, and geographical terrain. The 2019 Painting and Drawing Award attracted 500 entries, exhibited close to 80 finalists, and distributed a prize pool of more than $20,000 to 13 deserving artists. Twelve of the winners were selected by international Guest Judge Chris McAuliffe (Australia); with one winner selected by public vote during the Whakatāne exhibition. “Aratoi invites everyone to attend the opening event on Thursday 11 April at 5pm, featuring a presentation by MMCA Co-ordinator Heather Hourigan,” says Aratoi Director Susanna Shadbolt. For participating artists, the MMCA offers professional development opportunities by showcasing their practice to peers, collectors, critics, museum curators, the media and the community at large. This special showing includes work by Mark Anstis (Ōpōtiki), John Brown (Hastings), Esther Deans (Auckland), Mary Duggan (Whakatāne), Kirsten Ferguson (Dunedin), Toby George King (Auckland), Teresa HR Lane (Auckland), Raewyn Martyn (Wellington), Nicola McCafferty (Wellington), Adrienne Millwood (Lower Hutt), Sena Park (Paihia), Danae Ripley (Auckland), and Lea-Anne Sheather (Whakatāne). This exhibition of the winning works is toured by 2019 MMCA exhibition partners Arts Whakatāne and Whakatāne District Council, and hosted by Aratoi. ENDS Additional information MCMA basic information The MMCA is one of New Zealand's longest running and most vibrant national contemporary art awards. The inaugural art award was held in 1986 - to launch the Whakatāne Community Arts Council (now known as Arts Whakatāne). In 1991, the Molly Morpeth Canaday Trust (previously a merit award sponsor) became the principal award sponsor and gained naming rights for the exhibition and its programme. In 2012, the Award moved into Te Kōputu a te whanga a Toi’s galleries, marking the beginning of the Arts Whakatāne and Whakatāne District Council MMCA partnership. The MMCA is a non-acquisitive annual award that alternates its focus between painting and drawing and three-dimensional art. The Award has developed over 30 years in Whakatāne. This year, our vision is to encourage and celebrate the development of painting and drawing on a national level and reward artists who create outstanding works. We aspire to create a platform for a broad range of art and artists, encourage discussion around contemporary art, and improve arts literacy. The 2019 Molly Morpeth Canaday Award – Painting and Drawing exhibition was shown at Te Kōputu a te whanga a Toi – Whakatāne Library and Exhibition Centre from 17 February – 7 April 2019. The exhibition was presented by exhibition partners Arts Whakatāne and Whakatāne District Council. 2019 Judges Preliminary Judges (tasked with selection of finalists – 78 works chosen for original exhibition from pool of 500 entries) - Andrew McLeod Andrew McLeod is an Auckland-based artist.

  • Masterton Town Hall Upgrade
    CONCRETE NZ – MASONRY PROJECT PROFILE #4 Masterton Town Hall upgrade PROJECT PRINCIPALS MASTERTON Designer: David Borman Contractor: Infinite Landscapes Paving Supplier: Horizon International (Concrete NZ – Masonry Member) The refurbishment of this grand building and is surroundings in the centre of the Wairarapa’s main town makes prominent use of concrete pavers to create an approach and congregation area that imply ceremony and civic pride. The traditional Māori pattern which has been incorporated into the town square is called Poutama, and symbolises the pursuit of excellence. This is an attitude reflected in the choice of construction materials. The concrete paving selection is a combination of two opposing colours from the manufacturer’s range. The paving was jointed using a special compound, which represents an evolution in flowable grouting materials. The outcome has been the welcome transformation of a civic area previously in decline. The incorporation of other enhancements such as new seating and lighting has seen the now contemporary and vibrant space embraced by locals and visitors alike, whether their pursuits are community, shopping or recreationally focussed. It is anticipated that the durability and timeless elegance offered through the thoughtful use of concrete pavers will ensure that further revitalisation will not be required for many decades to come. CONCRETE MASONRY – RECOMMENDED USE Concrete masonry construction (or blockwork) is a permanent hollow formwork which is filled with concrete (blockfill) and allows for

  • Robert Gant's
    Men Alone, Men Entwined: Reconsidering Colonial Masculinity CHRIS BRICKELL Introduction Two men pose together in an oval cut-out (Figure 1). The man on our right stands for the camera and lays his arm against the back of his seated companion. Both ignore the camera. They study a book instead, absorbed in the world portrayed in its pages. The pair shares a moment in time, a space, and also an intimate closeness; these are no men alone. What is their story, and what does it tell us about men‟s lives in late-nineteenth-century New Zealand? Figure 1: „Charlie reading‟, 1889. PA1-q-962-43-2, Alexander Turnbull Library (ATL) The man on our right is Robert Gant, an immigrant from England, a chemist and amateur photographer. When this photograph was taken, in 1889, Gant lived in Masterton and would have been 35. His friend is Charles Blackburn, 19, a clerk at the Masterton branch of the New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency. The setting appears curious at first glance, with its leaves, twigs and painted flowers, but there is an explanation. This is a stage set, installed in Masterton‟s Theatre Royal, where Gant, Blackburn and their many friends spent countless hours in rehearsals and performances. 11 Journal of New Zealand Studies NS13 (2012), 11-33. The image is one of 465 from two albums put together by Robert Gant in the early 1890s and now preserved in the Alexander Turnbull Library. Charles Blackburn‟s descendents owned the albums, and looked after them until 2007 when they shepherded the volumes into the Turnbull.
