Join us this Saturday 7 June at 4pm, for the opening of Giorgio Griffa, Peter Robinson: Differences in kind and rhythm.
Differences in kind and rhythm is the second in a series of dialogue exhibitions at Te Uru pairing artists from Aotearoa with international peers. This iteration brings together Italian abstract painter Giorgio Griffa (b.1936, Turin) and New Zealand sculptor Peter Robinson (Ngāi Tahu, b.1966, Hakatere), whose practices, while distinct in origin and medium, share a sustained engagement with repetition, systems, and formal variation.
Held across three spaces, Differences in kind and rhythm proceeds from simpler, sparer uses of lines by Griffa and Robinson to more complex, lyrical, and colourful networks in their paintings and sculptures and, finally, onto their most recent sequencings of numbers and spiral forms with overt reference points. The signs, shapes, and numbers we see in works by Griffa and Robinson draw on ranging subjects found in mathematics, nature, and philosophy.
Light snacks will be provided by Florets Bakery and The Modern Preserver, with beverages by Black Sands Beer, Everyday Wine, and Almighty. We look forward to welcoming you.
