Translucent Landscapes conquers space and time

Translucent Landscapes has found a space for exhibiting! It was a bit nerve wracking to declare an opening time without an actual space, but now time and space are in sync. In fact, we have two sites!
We will be exhibiting at 75 Ghuznee St, directly opposite The French Art Shop and adjacent to Glover Park. The premises, previously an optometry clinic, make a really exciting space with plenty of individual spaces for projecting video art and creating site responsive installations as well as fabulous light filled rooms for paintings and photographs.
Translucent Landscapes will also be exhibiting at the Thistle Hall Lightbox on Arthur St. The Lightbox is a great site, always open and part of the city.

We would like to thank the owners Sonja Newby and Wayne Lane for their sponsorship and support of this exhibition. We are also grateful for the support of Creative New Zealand Kakano funding, The Fringe and Thistle Hall.
The group of artists participating has also reached an exciting stage. We now have a fantastic group of talented people from many disciplines creating work for the exhibition:

Margaret Elliot, Iain Gordon, Katherine Joyce-Kellaway, Tony Kellaway, Doris Lindstrom, Poppy Lekner, Mary McCallum, Helen Reynolds, Molly Samsell, Mike Ting and Nathan Young.

Katherine Joyce-Kellaway

Katherine uses trans-media in her practice, with video as a central media which she uses to explore sensory behaviour and its influence on our perceptions of reality. Her current work is focused on how fragmented sensory stimulation can translate into embodied knowledge, producing a deluded reality. The works aspires to generate visceral, bodily and immersive experience for the viewer. Katherine is currently completing a Masters of Fine Art at Massey University in 2012, where she is also tutoring.

Tony Kellaway

Tony Kellaway has been a photographer concerned with the built environment for over thirty years.

Tony has undertaken a number of significant projects over his career including a survey of disappearing New Zealand cinema’s in the 1980’s. This was supported by a major Arts Council of New Zealand (CNZ) grant. He has received major commissions to record significant New Zealand sites such as Parliamentary buildings, Old Government buildings and the recently restored Old Supreme Court. These bodies of work recorded and interpreted the transformation of these sites.

Tony is well known for his definitive guide to the ‘Old Buildings of Wellington’ in collaboration with David Kernohan, Professor of Architecture at Victoria University.

His work is held in a number of major collections such as Te Papa and the National Library of New Zealand. His work is also in private collections both in New Zealand and Europe.
