rainbow warriors of light


amy howden-chapman has two exhibitions on in auckland at the moment.
'advice for our aerial ocean' is in the mezzanine at artspace.
it looks at the examples of areas of land and river that have become legal entities
as a possible example for the atmosphere or aerial ocean.
there is sound, images, architectural interventions and places to read.
and at te uru in titirangi is 'they say ten thousand years'
an exploration of political mobilisation and motivation
through the lens of the new zealand nuclear free and peace movement.
in a lovely new gallery howden-chapman has placed textile works in glass,
video and audio works and text to be read on large brown corduroy cushions.

this creating of a space to pause, reflect and read in the midst of a gallery
 is quite captivating.
