  • KATE NEWBY 20.02.21 – 30.05.21 Kate Newby, Disposable Camera Documentation, 2021 in December 2020, Kate Newby Flew in to Auckland from San Antonio, Texas
    KATE NEWBY 20.02.21 – 30.05.21 Kate Newby, Disposable camera documentation, 2021 In December 2020, Kate Newby flew in to Auckland from San Antonio, Texas. Her trip was occasioned by Adam Art Gallery Te Pa¯taka Toi’s invitation to undertake a full gallery exhibition, her largest yet in Aotearoa New Zealand. This is something the Adam has done from time to time, inviting artists to work with our challenging architecture and encouraging them to use the opportunity to review, reflect on and extend their practice. We were intrigued to see Newby apply her sculptural logic to the whole gallery, to experience for ourselves the ways she has tackled spaces and built her own highly distinctive sculptural lexicon, in myriad on- and offshore locations, over the last fifteen years. Drawing on several months of research and planning, she started work almost immediately, ordering clay to be delivered to her quarantine hotel, establishing contacts with suppliers, manufacturers and craftspeople, and refining her plans for the installation. As soon as she had completed her managed isolation, she went north to Matakana to work with the team at Middle Earth Tiles to scratch marks into and adjust by other means the surfaces of unfired tiles sourced from a local seam of clay. These were then fired in the factory’s industrial- scale kiln, the only place in the country making such products with local resources. Over Christmas and New Year she tasked friends and family with making her first batch of ‘thigh tiles’, rectangles of clay shaped into half barrels over human legs, which she took to potter Duncan Shearer’s kiln in Paeroa for firing.

  • Wystan Curnow
    Neither Here Nor There The Writing of Wystan Curnow 1961-1984 Thomasin Sleigh A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Art History Victoria University of Wellington 2010 Contents Abstract i Acknowledgements ii List of Illustrations iii Introduction 2 Chapter 1 1939 – 1970 7 Chapter 2 1970 – 1976 42 Chapter 3 1976 – 1980 88 Chapter 4 1980 – 1984 113 Conclusion 149 Bibliography 155 Appendix: Complete bibliography of Wystan Curnow’s writing 160 Abstract This thesis addresses the writing of Wystan Curnow from 1961 to 1984. Curnow has written a great deal throughout his life, and the challenge of this thesis has been to select an appropriate time frame and important texts to place within it. The period of 1961 to 1984 has been chosen because it encompasses the 1970s, an interesting decade of experimentation for Curnow and also because the early 1980s signal a shift in Curnow’s work. I argue that Curnow’s encounter with post-object art and the immediate, phenomenological writing he produced in response to this work gives way in the early 1980s to a style of writing directly informed by post-structural and postmodern theory. Further, this study looks not only at Curnow’s criticism but also his poetry to reveal how, in their form and content, these two strands of writing together construct one of the first arguments for an ‘avant-garde’ in New Zealand art and literature. The thesis is divided into four chronological chapters. These follow the course of Curnow’s life from his birth in 1939 up until the publication of his seminal essay on Colin McCahon ‘I Will Need Words’ in 1984.
