Ethereal Canterbury: 2 – 28 September 2024

posted in: Eastside Gallery, Past | 0

Opening Event: 5.30-7pm Monday 2 September 2024

15 local artists contribute to this show which features artworks with a Canterbury focus done in styles such as magic realism, the sublime, the ethereal and etherealism.
This is a show full of contradictions. Its very title is oxymoronic: Ethereal relates to the unearthly and the celestial while Canterbury is rooted in our place. Hence, there are some ways in which the four main styles are completely opposite to one another, while in other ways, they intersect and share tendencies. There are artworks full of wonder, awe, isolation, mystery, infinity, alienation, overwhelming terror, dreamed realities and strange juxtapositions. Past and present merge, objects are invented, the airy is expressed through poetic imagination and the realistic and precise meet the metaphysical.
What does all this add up to? Idealised environments, nature that threatens us, recognisable landmarks made strange and strange creatures in recognisable landscapes, some riding moas… Ultimately new ways of exploring where we live with magnificent local artists.
Artists include: Alice Tulkens, Anya Diepold, Ashleigh Min, Catherine Coster, Cheriene Singer, Chris Quinn, Hadani Woodruff, Hazel Rae, John Maillard, Jordan Willan, Lorraine Frances-Rees, Paige Officer, Ross Ellen, Scarlett Giffin Munn and Tracey Perrin.

Opening Hours: Tuesday-Saturday. Galleries 12-5pm. Classes start from 10am and run into the evening.

Location: Eastside Gallery, 388 Worcester St, Christchurch, free parking onsite.

We offer 13 weekly classes & activities, run exhibitions and events in Eastside and the Mini and hire our spaces for arts activities and events evenings and weekends.

Te Whare Maire o Nga Punawerewere 2024: 15 July – 10 August

posted in: Eastside Gallery, Past | 0

Opening Event: 5.30-7pm Monday 15 July 2024

This group show is a celebration of the mahi of local Maori artists making Maori art.

The name literally refers to young spiders leaving the web and metaphorically refers to the way newer artists are nurtured in their developing art practice by those who are more experienced. In this way, it’s a branching dome of support like a spider’s web. This show, therefore, includes the mahi of both new and more experienced artists.
 
Artists include: Heather Jonson, Ihakara Smith, Geo Thompson-Skipworth, Jess Stevens, Joe Clarke, Maungarongo TeKawa, Redgie Walker-Small, Selena Tapae, Tia Tamara, Tipene Douglas, Toni Neale and Tui Martin. In the Mini Gallery is Gemini Spence, Hohepa Mutu, Kenny Birch, Natasha Sadlier, Susan A. James and Vane Ihe.
 

Thank you to Ara, Art and Design and Level 7, Year 3 student Geo Thompson-Skipworth, who curated this show with guidance from Linwood Arts staff.

Opening Hours: Tuesday-Saturday. Galleries 12-5pm. Classes start from 10am and run into the evening.

Location: Eastside Gallery, 388 Worcester St, Christchurch, free parking onsite.

We offer 13 weekly classes & activities, run exhibitions and events in Eastside and the Mini and hire our spaces for arts activities and events evenings and weekends.
