TENT is a new Art Weekend taking place throughout Aotearoa and online, presented by the team who deliver the Auckland Art Fair. The inaugural edition of TENT will feature live exhibitions across the country and also online, and will take place from Thursday 4 – Sunday 7 November across New Zealand.
25+ galleries will present an off-site / pop-up exhibition, anywhere in Aotearoa New Zealand (but NOT in their own gallery space) – and at the same time, show the art online in specially created online viewing rooms at www.tent.art
Online Exhibition: 2pm Thurs 4 – 8pm Sun 7 November
Live Exhibition: 5 - 7 November
For the inaugural edition of TENT, mothermother presents; FINGER PRICKS & CURSES at the West Auckland Resource Centre– a place where recycled fabric and materials can be donated to and accessed by the community. Fifteen mothers will be completing (in all manner of gorgeous and subversive ways!) donated unfinished cross stitch works…
“Arthritic hands, clearing out the stash, boredom, changes in fashion, lack of time, death, or an inability to concentrate; all could be reasons for abandoned stitch works. These histories may never be revealed. In early 19th Century Britain, embroidery was regarded as frivolous and quite unhealthy, as it requires many hours of sitting down and inner focus. Fifteen mothermother artists have been invited to pick up these discarded works, collaborate with an unknown crafter, and engage in excessive making and concentration, synthesising layered histories, one stitch at a time.”
