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 TENT 2021, {Suite} will be presenting an exhibition of work by Wayne Youle and Ans Westra.
Although based in Ōtautahi, this will be Youle’s first exhibition there in a number of years. The exhibition will feature a sculptural work alongside new large scale paintings, and a new neon work.
Three special photographs by Ans Westra will also be presented. After moving to Aotearoa at the age of 21, Westra spent long periods of time traveling around the country as a freelance photographer. Committed to observing and expressively documenting New Zealand life and culture, her candid images capture New Zealanders - Māori and Pākehā, old and young, rural and urban - at work and play. Westra is renown for her long and prolific career, and her archive observes significant political and cultural change in Aotearoa.
The exhibition will be presented in Ōtautahi Christchurch, at 65 Cambridge Terrace, a 1962 building, designed by Sir Miles Warren as a home and offices for Warren and Mahoney.
