The artist collective behind The See Here join together in an inaugural group exhibition to show work sharing a common thread. The eleven members - Vivien Atkinson, Becky Bliss, Pam Brabants, Sandy Connon, Mel Ford, Marilyn Jones, Greta Menzies, Sarah Read, Caroline Thomas, Nina van Duijnhoven and Tia Venning - differing in age, practice and history, have responded to a prompt to create textile-adjacent work in the medium of their respective practice.
The See Here (TSH) is an artist-run window gallery founded in 2010, currently located at 85 Ghuznee St. For the Threads Textiles Festival, TSH is popping up at the Backroom Gallery in Anvil House Studio on Wakefield Street. In the spirit of the whakataukī whiria te tāngata - weaving or binding the people together - The See Here presents a multi-artist show exhibiting work that is provoked by textile’s material markers, considering texture, colour, form, structure, value, culture and meaning.
At the same time as the Backroom Gallery group show, The See Here gallery will house a related exhibition by TSH artist Greta Menzies: Banner, and we hope that the audience will visit both venues.
This exhibition is presented in conjunction with Threads: Textiles Festival. With more than 15 free exhibitions and a roster of workshops, talks and tours at venues spanning Lower Hutt, Petone, Thorndon and the central city, Threads sheds new night on contemporary textile practices in Aotearoa and beyond. The festival will take place across Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington from 16-20 March 2022, read more here.
