Exhibitions on Monday 28 September

On the Last Afternoon: Disrupted Ecologies and the Work of Joyce Campbell: On the Last Afternoon unfolds a forcefield of relations between photography, philosophy, ecology, material history, science fiction, and the care and reading of sacred and symbolic landscapes, that have evolved over the course of Joyce Campbell’s near three-decade career. Shifting scale from the microscopic to the global, she uses techniques from photography’s two-hundred-year history to give visible form to the beauty, complexity and sheer perseverance of life under threat.; 19 September - 22 November | See event detail

Wayne Youle: Elevation: Te Uru presents an exhibition of new work by Wayne Youle, made during his studio residency at McCahon House in 2019. Spilling out from the Learning Centre Gallery into Te Uru’s stairwell, Elevation is anchored by a large sculpture that cuts across the centre of the gallery. This is based on the famously open-air children’s bunkroom underneath the McCahon cottage and brings an imagined section of McCahon House into the gallery. Throughout this exhibition, Youle mixes history with design and sculpture, demonstrating a deep engagement with the McCahon legacy.; 26 September - 29 November | See event detail
