Creative Studio Space Available!!

I'm looking for a fabulous creative to share part of my studio at Creative Studios at Ross Industrial in Mullumimby.

It's a bright, open and focused working environment, with the available area approx 19.5 m², within a total studio of around 65 m² (10m x 6.5m). The space has high ceilings, beams & freshly painted white walls. The studio includes access to a shared entrance area with a little art library, armchairs, couch and a sink.

I'm looking to share the space with a professional artist or creative whose practice aligns with a considered studio environment. My own work spans installation fabrication, sculpture, painting & admin.

I'm looking for someone who is consistent, respectful of shared space, actively engaged in their practice, likes music & dogs

On my way to Shanghai for the upcoming Form Without Form大象無形 Exhibition opening on 13 June at HKRI Taikoo Hui, Jing'an District, Shanghai! ✨💫✨

Curated by Carlo Maria Rossi, Form Without Form 大象無形brings together an international group of artists in a contemporary dialogue around transformation, perception and the invisible forces that shape human experience. The exhibition is presented in partnership with Arte Laguna Prize.

I am excited to be presenting a new iteration of CO-Lapses within one of Shanghai's leading cultural & commercial destinations.

Looking forward to getting back to Shanghai & sharing the installation process, opening events & conversations from Shanghai over the coming weeks.

Presented by Triune Harmony, No.name.studio.shanghai and 768 Gallery in partnership with HKRI Taikoo Hui & Arte Laguna Prize

Wonderful to spend the day with my dear friend, collaborator and longtime mentor .franken at the and Collection exhibition.

Robèrt & I collaborated between 2020–2023 on the Relative Terrains series, but our connection goes back much further. I first met him as an unruly teenager at art school in Wellington, where I somehow found the biggest rebel of them all. Over the last 25 years that connection has shifted between friendship, mentoring and collaboration.

Born in The Hague, The Netherlands, Robèrt is a sixth-generation artist whose practice has spanned more than 60 years. He previously exhibited in the Beijing International Art Biennale and for years kept telling me I should go to Beijing. I didn’t listen… until somehow, unexpectedly, I ended up there myself earlier this year, invited as the first New Zealand artist included in six years.

Conversations with Robèrt always feel like turning a diamond in the light seeing the world and yourself from new angles.

Also exciting news on the next projects in China on the tip of my tongue...news soon!!! ✨✨✨
