Main Gallery exhibition Der Tiefenglanz: Deep Gloss is a collaboration by contemporary jeweller Karl Fritsch and photographer Gavin Hipkins which plays on notions of perception.
Hipkins has selected images from his archive of negatives, and printed these as gelatin silver photographs, before passing them onto Fritsch, who mounts them onto aluminium sheets— independently and brusquely pierces each one with his own archive of found gemstones and fine metals hoarded from his studio.
This exhibition is a collaboration with the Hamish McKay Gallery in Wellington with loans from across Aotearoa.
Exhibition Opening: Friday 21 March, 5.30pm
Public Programmes accompany this exhibition, see website for details.
