GALLERIES, program to May 2019 Gallery 1 [Inner, small gallery space], Gallery 2 [Outer, big gallery space] Gallery 1 Mark Baskett - 8 - EXTENDED to 17 November! 'On that place where we stand' Opening Event, Monday 8 October, 5:30pm. All Welcome Recent works from M.Baskett 'The images included in this exhibition belong to a broader body of artwork - a work that has been developing now for over five and a half years. It presents viewers with a type of visual cartography, where imagery and information outline something of the places, the people, and the events that had once surrounded the artist. Focused too on the topics of neighbourhood and the neighbour - this is a work about memory and about the act of recalling one’s past. How might we recover, in our minds at least, what once stood so obviously before us? And what might remain of those who once existed just a stone´s throw away? Such are the questions and the ongoing concerns that have informed and driven forward these works.' www.mbaskett.ch/ Gallery 2 As part of the Nelson Arts Festival 2018 we present 'The Story Inside my Head' Running 8 - EXTENDED to 3 November!

Closing party - tbc Gallery 1 Dunedin based, MFA [Distinction] Dunedin School of Art, artist Jessica Ritchie 19 November - 8 December 2018 'Chromatic Surfaces' Ritchie is interested in the discordant notion 'a that a painting or a thing might be tow [or more] things at once, beautiful and grotesque or exuberant and abject, and it is this shifting quality that provokes and holds our intrigue as viewers and to imagine how forms evolve and solidify on the surface' Stripped of traditional iconography Ritchie's works - made from paint skins, spray paint, plaster, glitter, gold leaf and iridescent paints - she offers rich surfaces and textures, evoking a whole world and complex relationship underneath. Mixed Media, painting. Gallery 1 local artist Ali Kennedy 10 December 2018 - 12 January 2019 'Weathered 2', Sculptures and Drawings 'The winds have blown us here to this place, to stand among strange new people and the remains of whales. Is it a refuge? How will we stand, when the wind blows again?' Ali Kennedy works with clay, responding in her making off her pieces either direct and raw or considering how rocks might have sculptured by the sand and wind on beaches her ancestor women came to the whaling stations on the Aparima Rover in the early 1830's. Her drawings will further deepen her connection to place and the stories that survived from these times and come back often in small sharp fragments. Opening, Monday 10 December, 5:30pm.

Gallery 1 18 February - 16 March 2019 local artist Jimena Johnston, painting. Johnston's work is revolving around the 'concept of identity, and a question, an attempt to understand humanity as a whole. Her work is figurative in nature, stripped down into an abstract form, pulling away any relevance to culture, gender or other identifiers to give the viewer an opportunity to contemplate a new relationship. In today's search for individuality, Johnston is looking for the universal identity.' Opening TBC.
