GRAFFITI LOUNGE Evan Woodruffe​ Kim Annan​ George Hajian​ Sue Dickson​ Virginia Leonard​ Richard Darbyshire​ Teresa Lane​ Eloise Cato​ Glen Hayward PAULNACHE GISBORNE AOTEAROA NZ www.paulnache.com Graffiti turns private into public: it places an individual’s expression onto a privately-owned space to display to the community their contest of space. Graffiti is a reaction against the visual occupation of public space by companies’ and individual’s use of advertising billboards and Brutalist architecture; graffiti is a direct action in the contest of ownership of public space. With each exhibition, the white walls of a gallery are ‘tagged’ by a succession of artists’ works. However, rather than a contest of space between artist and gallery, it is a collaboration to contest the visual space of our culture. Gallery and artists work together to present and represent their ideal supremacy over the visual pollution that invades our everyday. Like graffiti, the exhibition is transient and fluid, with each one applied over the last, jostling for space and asserting ownership: graffiti and exhibitions grow in palimpsest. Though serious in its challenge, the curation of this exhibition lounges; Gisborne in the height of summer is ground-zero for sauntering, and Graffiti Lounge reclines with a relaxed, confident attitude. It is not a clean, formal show, as it instigates a variety of aesthetics that reflect the chaotic nature of graffiti. Evan Woodruffe and Kimberley Annan have approached it with the method of graffiti crews, producing works separately and collaboratively, and inviting artists to join them in a show that contests the ownership of our visual space.

Film by Eric Ming Swenson. Music by Mountaineater Los Angeles filmmaker Eric Minh Swenson traveled to Las Vegas to visit New Zealand-born artist Matthew Couper, who recently immigrated to the USA. In his apartment in Las Vegas, Couper’s collection of religious Spanish Colonial paintings from Mexico provide a rich cache of narrative and allegory that inform the artist’s reactions to his new and unique environment. Over the past two years, Couper’s paintings have collected and collated visual and psychological symbols of Las Vegas, culminating in a hybridized form which Huffington Post art writer John Seed suggests is ‘a pagan Catholic Cirque du Soleil’, accentuating the artist’s ‘Kafkaesque view of the world’ For more info on Eric Minh Swenson or project inquiries visit his website :www.thuvanarts.com ART SERIES: www.thuvanarts.com/take1 MUSIC VIDEOS: www.thuvanarts.com/musicvideos
